music in the shed

Into Fanny at the moment,all girl American band from the early `seventies,only the second girl band to be signed to a major label,the first being Goldie and the Gingerbreads,but being a girl band were ignored/not taken seriously at the time,although David Bowie was a big fan.
Look up their version of Badge,the old Cream track,the live version for French TV is really the one to watch.
Makes the original seem lethargic,especially drummer Alice de Buhr who really nails it,compared to Ginger Baker,who seemed to be half asleep when recording the original.

So two years ago, I go to a school concert, out comes a stunning tall redhead music teacher. She looks at me, and momentarily stops in her tracks. I say to daughter after the concert, who was the violin playing teacher.

Turns out she was a well known violin session player, that played for a well known Aussie band in the early 90s, when I was between wives, of whom I was invited to their after party and ……… Stood on sacred ground, whoa a whoa

Small world.:oops:

We’re you wearing your rigging shirt ? I suspect that would have got you between wives again
 
Not just in the shed,but in your head as you`re riding along....Have been a fan of Wildman Fischer since the late `seventies.
Fischer was a musical genius/complete barnpot ,depending on your point of view from California who started out as a street performer,and also played to football crowds, walking up and down the isles.
He spent a lot of his time in and out of various mental institutions,probably due to complaints from the other residents,and signed to Frank Zappa`s Bizarre label ( through parent label Straight/Warner Music) and released an album "An Evening with Wildman Fischer".This relationship came to an end when Fischer threw a chair across the room narrowly missing Moon Unit who was just a baby in a pram at the time.
He later signed to Rhino Records.
His style is unusual to sat the least,(so should appeal to most Laverda owners),and if you`re interested in listening to something different/crap he`s definitely worth checking out (if only for the once).
"My name is Larry" is something you will never forget once you`ve heard it,even though you may wish to.
Having said that his version of Jimmy Jones `Handyman` is almost listenable,and his version of `In my Room`takes the song to a level The Beach Boys could only have dreamt of.
Most people will still think he`s crap though....

Gerald,

Yes, Annie can be devine, especially on 'Scheherazade and Other Stories'. I dug up my old Akai big reel tape deck while clearing the basement. Too big a machine in the house but fine in the workshop, after more than 20 years of not being used the machine still workls perfectly and all the tapes still sound magnificent. Who said tapes deteriorate?
It's a journey through the past for me, old recordings of LP's, live recordings from radio, Tull, Zappa, Manfred Mann's earth band, Roger Chapman, Dr Feelgood, Jan Akkerman, you name it and the Rockpallast nights.. Anyone remember Crawler with Geoff Whitehorn brilliantly replacing the late Kosoff?
So many things to do coming winter, with a jukebox full of surprises and old memories..

Listened through Manfred Mann’s Earth Band album ‘The Roaring Silence’ last weekend. Singing the Dolphin Through is my favourite track.
And Roger Chapman - vocalist in a band that on their day were arguably the best of the prog-rockers, Family.

I'd not heard of Wildman Fischer, but always on the listenout for new (to me) music. After playing "In My Room" and "Yesterday" I can understand your last sentence. I, however, kind of enjoyed it. A bit like having to chew your food too much but still tasty.

One of the quotes from the Youtube clip of "Yesterday" made me laugh.... "My uncle wanted "Yesterday" played at his funeral, but he didn't say what version he wanted - so I played this one! Everybody in the church just sat there confused and didn't say anything!"

I'd probably put him on late at night if I wanted people to fuck off home, then I'd stay up and have another beer and a listen.

I found some tickets from the past.

Back then we had the hobby of going to concerts for free. Disguised, with forged tickets, illegally granted entry, as a roady, ....
We had a lot of fun during that time and saw a lot of bands, that we would otherwise never have been able to afford.
Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher, Deep Purple, Bob Dylan, Eagles, Yes, Barcley James Harvest, Neil Young, 10CC, Marshall Tucker Band, .... and many more.

If someone would like to have one of the tickets for free, please let me know.

Thomas aus LAU
