music in the shed

Gerald said:
It's near freezing point and slightly snowed in around the house, so I decided to start on a few chores that need to be done on the 3CL. The old radio is always on when I get out the tools, listening to a local station that plays a decent mix of old and not so new tunes. Tonight I was surprised when they played an old favorite that I hadn't heard in a loooong time. Annie Haslam (Renaissance) singing "Carpet of the sun" sure made my evening!

Regards,
Gerald

Chopin, Oscar Peterson or some Iron Butterfly ... depends what I'm working on.
 

...... just remembered this one from 25 years ago .......

There was a story that the group`s name was Manson ...... but they changed the spelling to Mansun to avoid confusion with you know who ........

About six months later Charles Manson appeared in court for some sort of legal review or something ....... When asked to spell out his surname , the hairy little fellow growled out M A N S U N ............ he had decided to change it without telling anyone ...........

...... Oh well , back as we were boys ...............

She co - starred with Rupert Everett in a movie adaption of Chronicle Of A Death Foretold .......

Comedian Bernard Manning once said he had met Everett ....... " If brains were dynamite , he would`nt have enough to blow his hat off .... " , reckoned Bernie .......... Although in Rupe`s defence , he has supplied backing vocals on tracks by Madonna , and Robbie Williams ............

Doubt if Bernard Manning could have managed that ........ ( but I would have liked to hear him try ..... ) .......

.... and here`s Johnny performing a live version of the Ventures cover of the Chantays etc etc ............

...... and getting into a bit of a spat with best mate ( really ) John Spacely at the start ......... All for the sake of the film documentary Born To Lose ..... The Last Rock And Roll Movie ........


Spacely was a street " personality " ......... not to mention bit part film actor / wannabe musician / heroin supplier to various celebrities ( including John Belushi ) / magazine publisher / " friend " ( take that as you will ) to the stars ( including Keith Richards / Joey Ramone / Willy DeVille / and various members of The New York Dolls .... ) ..........

The eye patch was worn as the result of an eye injury inflicted by an enraged drag queen and his / her mates ............

That`s rock and roll for you ...............

Cheetah Chrome of The Dead Boys gets a look in ....... and Dee Dee Ramone changes his socks at the end ................
