music in the shed


..... BMW R 75/5 sneaks ( crawls ? ) into an QOTSA video .........

Sir Arthur Conan - Doyle once sent a message to four of his friends , ( as a joke ) ........ " Go into hiding , we are discovered ... " ......... One of them they never saw or heard from ever again ......

.... Vic sings about ambition , or maybe the lack of it .....

" I`ll guarantee a wooden spoon , ambivalence calls your every tune .... " ............

I`m trying to think of some smartass remark I can make linking ambition to the Peter Principal ...... but it`s not going to work , it`s late , so I give up ..............
 
Replace Mountain bassist Felix Pappalardi with Jack Bruce , get rid of keyboard player Steve Knight ...... and you end up with WB&L .........

Drummer Corky Laing reckoned New York meant cocaine , London meant heroin , because that was where the best quality was .......

He said that Jack Bruce`s heroin connection told him she would pay him $ 250,000 if he smuggled heroin from London back to New York in his Hayman drum kit ....... It was made of metal , so no one would notice the extra weight .........

And here`s Corky , with Mountain , covering Jack Bruce`s " Theme For An Imaginary Western " .........

Vocalist and bass player , ( and Cream record producer ) Felix Pappalardi .... yes , him again ...... became addicted to heroin , quit Mountain , went deaf ........... and ended up being shot dead by his wife .............. That`s rock and roll for you ............

At the risk of labouring the point , it can never be underestimated as to what a good band Mountain were , and how great Leslie West as lead guitarist was ........ Pappalardi brought Steve Knight on keyboards in , to try to avoid comparisons with Cream ........

My Yamaha 9000 series I bought in 1978 was THE beginning of what became the Recording Custom. Absolutely the factory's flasgship kit. Badged 'Made in Taiwan, Peoples Republic of China'! Punters didn't like that, when the lower models were 'Made in Japan'. The factory set up the hi-tech plant in Taiwan and the quality was incredible. Once they had received the high acclaim and endorsements, they returned production of the Recording Custom to Japan - to remove the neg stereotyping no doubt. I sold my kit a few years back as it was too big for me (13, 14, 18, 24). It was on Gumtree for about 5 minutes before it sold. I use a 1968 Yamaha Red Thunder kit now (13, 16, 20).

My working basses are all South Korean, apart from the 3 upright basses, all Chinese and when playing rockabilly, matters not a great deal. I dont stand on my uprights, afraid of heights... j oh nice kit BTW Q, main gig kit here is a Pearl Rhythm Traveller, first GEN, quick to setup, light and mics up well.
