music in the shed

When we moved in to the last place - old house in country village - moving day was somewhat delayed. We got there as arranged to find that the PO had held a leaving hoolie the previous evening. There were several bodies still waiting for a dawn to arrive and a number of obviously stoned young people milling around aimlessly. The biggest holdup once the PO had arranged his helpers to move furniture was one stoned gent in the front room. His job was boxing a cabinets contents of records. But when every one of them was greeted with "Oh man this is soo good !" and the sleeve artwork praised and explained to anyone walking past it started to become a problem.
In the end the PO and his wife simply picked this character up and walked him out. But I'd learned more than I wanted to know about several records....and the PO's friends.
Right up to when we sold the enclosed end of the barn smelled of pot.
 

.... and finally .... even more strings .... ( ok , one violin ) ....... One of the most successful bands to come out of Wales ....... ever ! ............

Eleven singles in the top 100 in the UK ... seven of those in the top 50 ........ If I were Welsh , it would make me proud to be Welsh .........

....great disparity in prices, some real prices ( not outer space pricing ) though really like our bikes, special price for special buyers, has the flavor of upmarket boot sale. Have a notable collection of sound reinforcement equipment here, heavy and very old "school" worth virtually nothing, all well over 20kg and some clocking a staggering 50kg each item. Young ones have modern sound equipment which is of their era, ie not interested in granddad equipment, of instruments that are old are better, mmmmm case by case that one, my '76 Fender Precision bass is by far a lesser instrument than many a South Korean bass i have in the collection, 100% of my gigs are done on those basses and Chinese plywood upright basses. Nostalgia sells... not to me it does not.... tah for the url Andy. j
 

Fleetwood Mac around about the time I saw them live ...... the original line up , before Peter Green went bonkers , Danny Kirwan got dissolved by drink and drugs , and Jeremy Spencer forgot all about Elmore James , and discovered God in California ..... ( Why is it , that whenever people discover God , it`s always in places like California ....... never Wigan , or West Hartlepool ....... ) ......

Always been a bit take it or leave it with INXS ..... but this is very good ...... Seven months before Hutchences` death / suicide ..... Seemingly a few hours after an argument with Bob Geldof over the `phone concerning a court hearing delay regarding custody of his and Geldofs kids ..... which left him feeling depressed ....

I would have thought having a normal conversation with Geldof would be enough to leave you feeling depressed , never mind a full blown argument .......

I remember a picture of Michael Hutchence dressed up in Barbour Suit and Sam Browne belt , taking his bike test on a Honda CG 125 in London , in the early `eighties .........

Unless it’s trad night, you can’t spend an evening in an Irish music pub without hearing Dirty Old Town. The other popular song was The Galway Girl: everyone knows all the words to that one too! Actually, everybody but us knew all the words to every song…..even the one written by an American.

I had one night in Dublin, all I wanted was to find a band playing Dirty Old Town. I got the lyrics nailed but couldn’t find the right pub. Next time I’m gonna venture out of town a bit 🍀😵‍💫🍺
