Clever Lad, not sure where the whole photo came from, yes it is the best secret of no secret, as a male lead dance you will not be sitting down for a dance night, not possible. 6 gals on the card, plenty more prospects...though their non dancing hubby/boyfriends looked ominously large and not happy as i looked their way... cannot run as fast as i used to....

Lads that dont dance, why wait, the partner in life deserves a dance with the person sharing their life... it is not easy to start the learning process, a good teacher will bring results in a short time, basic moves are very attainable... look after your partner... give it a go, and put single blokes like me out of action....grin... j

heard of that term, like what key for a song, does it matter..... been in bands where a multi key song was invoked...the guitar on A, bass on G, singer at Db minor ( warbling modern vocals )..... must learn all these new aspects... yes a waltz for the RnR dance.... novel, let you know Sock after the dance, once i recover from being biffed by the follow dance gal... j.

Sent a message, with background, John.
 
Yikes...or is that crash crash yikes..... think the High Hat needs to be tied down before they rise above his head...too late for the crash and ride, they are on their way to latest mars rocket... has to be a windup.... or no? The band must have been put together that morning, "no need for rehearsal... we will sound whatever no matter what we try....." there are similar clips on yt over the years.... can i open my eyes yet??? Had to close them almost immediately..... thank you Mr Rocket... i think...grin j
 

More Gruppo.....they kind of use a mix of Abba and Frank Zappa...they use the Mothers " Take your clothes off when you dance " as an intro to their track " Superman " .........As far as I can make out this is about failed suicide attempts.....

Nice touches on this clip, around here we had to place a sign at the stage "no more than one female singer on stage at anytime or for any reason" Nightmare, if you think blokes are competitive, just put two walk up female singers on stage at the same time.....took me 3 weeks to calm down my singer gal.... was a severe lesson at a late stage in my life experience to find out.

Have a look at Broken Peaches, Spanish outfit of great skill and stage craft. Four gals that have it all, wonder about keeping it all under control in light of the above... really really like the songs and production, sets the high bar. j

You mean they would just get up on the stage and start singing if they felt like it ?.....Mark Perry of ATV ( early London punk band ) would also invite members of the audience up on stage...not just girls though...and that didn`t always end well.....

Lies Schlip and Inge Bonthond of Gruppo Sportivo have worked together for a long time , they were backing vocalists for Herman Brood ( a sort of Dutch version of Rod Stewart ) and are also in a band called Bombitas XL together , so get along just fine .

This gives me an excuse to feature them again ( you`ll be pleased to hear...maybe....)...

When this clip would pop up on TV, a lady friend would ring me up...."your song is on the TV...." Breathtaking, not just the gals, took up Sax ( true ) after watching what that instrument could do for me, never looked the same as i played in front of the mirror, much is about perception and reality, then again...imagination is wonderful, j.

No question that gals on stage is an imperative in my world, my missive was more associated with the dynamics off and on the stage. Words cannot convey the moment to moment interactions. The ladies i mention were main member participants, completely different in stage craft and singing. Stood a stage with each of them over many years, it was another guitar muso whom thought it a good idea to combine these two ladies onstage.... guitarists are simple souls... insight does lack in some of them at sometime, grin.

Inviting others from the punters onstage, only do that once and you learn why it is rare ( or staged mostly ), learned the reason in 1978...never ever again... nor will it ever happen in the future... "my mates say i look really good onstage... ( us in reply ) can you sing??... punter .."No".... you then spend 10 minutes trying to evict this talent challenged individual with alcohol propulsion system off the stage... there was worse, when i was part of house band at "open mics"... another time..perhaps. j
 
RIP Wilko Johnson. He died about a week ago. I love Dr. Feelgood. Saw them live when they came to Australia, but Wilko wasn't in the band by then.

I was fortunate though to see him with Ian Drury and the Blockheads when they toured Oz. He was fantastic. So was Norman Watt-Roy doing a bass solo. What a night.

Wilko was told he was dying a in 2013, but the diagnosis was not quite correct, and we got some more time with him. He made an album with Roger Daltry around the time.
