music in the shed

You judge us in a dim light my good Sock, “'For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn? '” paraphrased .... a quote from the era of much vocabulary delight, whom will identify the origin and author, the book, from which originated. Much admired gravitas will be the prize.... an ethereal prize as it would remain. j

An aside, music related, been looking up the latest Till Lindemann touring band, Constance Antoinette Day, a modern multi instrumentalist, which is more common than i could ever imagined, with a caveat. In Constance performances the timing and hand movements bely what you hear at live gigs, perhaps genuine skill ( she has that overall, from other online clips ) or "managed" live performances, IEM systems could allow click track timing for any pre recorded aspects to live performances, never be sure unless someone spills the beans... all the same the performances translate very good to my online eye... modern is good also, just possibly not as skilled as demonstrated in the older clips here.

"Doubling" on instruments has a degree of competencies factor, do and have done it myself, basic make do skill to "no one more surprised than me" element on certain instruments. Modern musicians carry this forward, a quick look at available young musicians in looking for band ads, reveals "band in a person" common theme, how good they are is not covered. Suggested, send me your live sound clips, has a near zero reply... there are the gifted, always the case, as for the rest, am yet to be won over.

Step up and assist any young prospective musician, first element, real assessment of skill, not the imagined. j.
 
Somewhat long clip, demonstrates backing tracks, as it seems to me... Constance on bass, guitar, keys in this prolonged clip... modern music and posted here for perspective. Perhaps, i still like it, theatrics never go astray. Super Karaoke. j

 
very clever you two... the abstract of the abstractions, vast landscape of talent..... of past and in their turn, the modern...

better get going....have a 10 or 20 year non started Laverda 3c arriving this morning for inspection and pre startup investigations, deceased estate, family only now able to deal with disposal. Back to the tools... wont be for too much longer, age will dictate. j
 
The encyclopedia of music thread. Just love it.
George O'Dowd was headlines here for a while, having kept some hapless Norwegian as captive s&m sex slave, who escaped, and Boy went to jail for it. Lucky not transportation these days.
 
Every band starts from somewhere, Debbie sorted it into a show of merit, never really enamoured of Chris Stein actual input, Clem ran the band/show as accounts would have it, hearsay is just that. Obscure clip, well done there lad, j
 

Saw Blondie in `77 as support act to Television......... Clem Burke was a great drummer ......... There seemed to be tensions within the group though ....... An onstage fight at a concert in London between band members , forcing Debbie to walk off stage ...... and a backstage disagreement at a re union gig in the `nineties , when someone ( maybe keyboardist Jimmy Destri ) was heard to shout out " Oh , it`s your group now is it Debbie ... ? ..... ) .........

To be honest , it probably always was , but you can understand some other members frustration .......

Staying with the motor theme .... First on , before Blondie , were Bristol`s own The Cortinas ....... singer Jeremy Valentine walked on stage wearing a donkey jacket with the Ford Motor Co logo on the back ....... ( Ford Cortina ... geddit ? ) ......Such presence , such style ..........
