music in the shed


Robbie Robertson was on the last one ........ and here he is again with his group , The Banned ............

Drummer does what all drummers really want to do , and barges his way to the front ........

....... ( and you thought The Sound Of Croydon was just a couple of triples leaving Motodd ............... ) .............
 
Also originating from 1974 ... ( like the Joni Mitchell track ) ....... and also from Croydon ... ( unlike Joni Mitchell ) ........ was Johnny Moped ...........

I was going to put " Incendiary Device " up .......... but seeing some might find it really REALLY offensive ..... ( you`d have to send the missus out shopping and cover the cat`s ears ) .......... I chickened out ...........

Great tune though ..........


( You`re definitely going to look it up now aren`t you , you rascals ............. ) ............
 

..... while Richard perpetuates the tired old myths regarding motorcycles , wrong `uns , and two-wheeled accident statistics .......... he should really be writing for The Daily Mail ............

The Shangri La`s did this sort of thing much better with " Leader Of The Pack " ......... not to mention Twinkle with " Terry " .............

Personal indulgence post, One from ever increasing time in retreat, was asked to join muso's for an epidemic in numbered events these days, "open mics" that now represent end of life for band muso's, many the reason, another time. Requested Locomotive Breath, on flute, though deferred until next time, Crane like stance needs work while playing, wince. Ordered up a fretless Ubass, that pulled/slide bass part is essential in Loco, though solo on flute, here is a gifted proper flute player ( do love Andersons inflections a great deal also ), might take a bit of doing mimic this version..... age it has its demands.

For me, Richard's not only a great guitarist but a great songwriter. I've seen him play many times, twice with Loudon Wainwright III. He does like to explore characters very unlike himself, through song. To take the lyrics as other than an poetic licence is to fall into the same trap as vertically challenged people did about Randy Newman's 'Short People'
 

William S reads the six o`clock news .........

If he was so pissed off about the state of the nation back in 1986 , then just imagine what he`d make of things now .........


Quite famous for shooting his wife dead in a William Tell / apple on the head re-enactment which didn`t go entirely to plan .........
The apple ... ( actually a glass tumbler ) ... happily survived unscathed .............
 
Bit of a cross tourist posting and self promote band, very sunny if not cold off the water gig. Just starting out with the local RnR Rockabilly dance school. Dancers were challenged with the stops in this song, which we varies so they did not get used to the stop interval, lots of dance floor laughing with missteps. The counter balanced bridge is gone now, a pleasant sea side town of Batemans Bay NSW. Beg your indulgence. j.

That’s unthinkable…….. a shotgun blast should have taken out the shot glass. I hope she didn’t spill any on the way down

It was actually a hand revolver , and the glass placed on top of her head was empty .......... although they were both pissed , didn`t get on particularly well .......... and it seems she was expressing suicidal thoughts anyway .........

This took place in Mexico ......... Burroughs spent 13 days in prison before his brother arrived and bribed the Mexican police and court officials , the two of them then returning to the USA .

The whole episode was later adjudged to be culpable homicide , so that was ok then ..........

It doesn`t end there .......... Burroughs and Jack "On The Road "Kerouac also got into trouble ( in the `States this time ) , for failing to report a murder ......... it seems an acquaintance of theirs took exception to another guy repeatably " coming on " to him ..........

Burroughs also had the habit of walking the streets of New York with a large meat cleaver hidden beneath his raincoat .......... " this`ll teach those little punks with their puny flick knives " he reckoned ............

Mike Ehrmantraut has nothing on this guy .............

Unsure why, the above extended gig/band, at odd moments, reminded me of Morphine Trio, perhaps the esoteric use of instruments, and or combination you would not envisage, 2 string slide bass, dual playing at same time of Tenor and Baritone Saxophones, capable drumming, with clever syncopation...

Side note or observation, Italian musicians/music a concept that is clever ( very ) at times, hard to understand at other times, even after 40 years cannot decide which, perhaps it is both, trouble with job loting j.
