Have no shame plug, pre pandemic, good day and lots of atmosphere..... do love trio's, most of my performing was in three. Jane on drums and main vocals, a rare talent. The breeze was cold, the upright bass was changing pitch while i played, ie playing to pitch or transposing on the fly... That bridge has been removed now. j

I like it John , I do , I do , I do .........
 

Nice to see Link Wray and Robert Gordon mentioned ...... I believe Robert Gordon passed away last October .......

He co-starred in the film " The Loveless " , and wrote and performed all of the soundtrack ...........

A reviewer once described The Loveless as just a series of shots of people posing , but then that`s basically what all films are , isn`t it ... ? ......

Yes Robert Gordon gone upstairs gigging last year. Tony Joe White also left the stage, Organic Shuffle i used to do. Loved the Robert Gordon and Link Wray doing "Red Hot" Bass player left hand bass and right hand piano... at 1:05.

We used to do it in the Trio, with A Cappella opening phrase, ton of fun song, when you sort it. The Way i Walk is a song for me to try.come the day. Here it is... Red Hot. j

Seeing we`ve just had Dudley Moore , here`s Peter Cook introducing Glenn Matlock ( yes , him again ) ; Midge Ure ; Rusty Egan ; and Steve New ( RIP ) , as the Rich Kids .....

Midge Ure auditioned as vocalist for the Swankers ( an early incarnation of the Sex Pistols ) , but John Lydon ( Rotten ) got the job eventually ........ Matlock would have known Midge Ure through that , so when Matlock was fired from the Pistols , he got together with him to form The Rich Kids ....

Matlock would have been instrumental ( sorry , again , can`t help it ) in contributing to the early Sex Pistols material ........... but McLaren considered him too " pop " , and replaced him with John Ritchie ( Sid Vicious ) , more for image than anything else ........ With Matlock gone , Ritchie was keen to rehearse and improve , but really it was downhill from that point on ........

Steve Stephens had my attention in the day, could play well and had a bag full of party trick licks, for the interview type play this and play that, entertaining though run out off steam for a proper gig. Endless party trick playing on yt et al. j

The tragic movie "Sid and Nancy" watched it with my life partner ( 25 years together ) at the time.... we used to yell at one another in comedic fashion..."Sid!! Nancy!!" spose you had to be there and of the era. j
 

And finally ........ Dave Brubeck covers the Stranglers " Golden Brown " ........ not really obviously ........

What I can`t get out of my head watching the Take Five clip , is how Brubeck stares intently at who ever is playing their solo spot ..... First of all at Paul Desmond ....... When it`s Joe Morello`s turn , Brubeck stops playing , turns right around with his back to the piano , and then begins to give him the full on gaze treatment as well ........

No wonder Morello looks so concerned as he`s drumming away ........ He knows it`s his turn next .......

If it were me , that would start to really freak me out ........

See what you mean Tony, cross stage disconnected stare happens more than it may seem in a live band, like an osmosis or gestalt thing, just happens. j
