music in the shed

As you say my erudite Sock, notables in this clip, Tippie of classical guitar shown his hand ( piddly poor pun intended ), never warmed to Gibson EBx basses, yet loved SG guitars ( Iommi though were custom copies like Angus did as fame provided the means ). Its that quirky self taught style of Ian with flutes, recently have been on the www, gathering real information from interviews with him about early and late flute machinations.

Ian had all the bad habits that self taught can impose, yet overcame to the point of his own style is engaging to my ear, over a long period. He used early flutes that were affordable, somewhat same here a time past, bought an ex school Yamaha that had been used to bash the kids into line...it was well damaged, $47 delivered. 12 months later, all repaired and another skill earned. Ended up repairing many woodwinds for others... Haynes "fix it yourself" sax book in hand, not joking.. side comment what i learned about Laverda suspension oil held great sway for selecting an oil for flute and sax key lube, something the author of the Haynes publication had no clue whatsoever. Ramble... i can do that... if not obvious, a smile. j.

and to think around this time Iommi would acturally be in Tull for a few months !
 
Here we have a whole concert of Paul Rodgers celebrating Free music - his voice is just same from the 70s superb - he called it free spirit - it’s populated by most of their most popular songs - it’s from 2019 - I went to one of the gigs in this season - was like going back to school which I hated but I loved that music - find the time great quality turn it up

 

..... ok , so it`s seven minutes long ......... usually a recipe for some overblown fret-board wankery .........

But when it features one of the greatest basslines ever .... ( c/o the late Andy Rourke ) ........ who cares ?

.......... for when you drop that cam chain clip down the tunnel .............

Don`t despair Pete , just remove the guide pedestal from the sump and have a good feel around ......... or failing that , Richard Slater said flush it out with paraffin ( kerosene ) ............. although I wasn`t sure if that would compromise lubrication of vital organs when re-filling and starting up with Esso`s finest 10W - 40 ...........

Whatever , the little bugger ended up within easy middle finger reach ........ so all was ok in the end .

I thought mine went 'down there' once and spent two hours ensuring that it hadn't, and musta flung off 'somewhere else'. Next time the cases were split, there it was, sitting calmly in the bottom of the sump under the crank, just out of reach of fingers, magnets and the like!
 

.... after the Maymay Palagirl version , here`s some fat old bloke tries to revive a failing career back in the mid `seventies by miming away to his version the same song ........

Gordon Bennett !!!!!! ..........

Show produced by Muriel Young ...... she of Five o` Clock Club fame in the `sixties ........... Fred Barker and Ollie Beak RIP ...........

A girl in our class came in wearing a Five o` Clock Club badge one day ........... she`d been up to see the show ....... all us other ten year olds were quite in awe ..........

or worse, the cam chain rides on the outside plates to crank sprocket ie the side plate(s) is not actually on the toothed gear wheel, it rotates and does all the correct "indications"...just was not convinced, got a mirror and torch to see from the guide pillar access underneath.... imagine starting the motor... intuition is a powerful tool...j

i like the bass line in "What difference... " on one of the UK pop shows, the one where Morrisy takes a bunch of flowers as the flowers are doing the singing... j

The Surfing Bird has got me interested in Surf Music. Was it a thing in Australia? Not wussy harmonies like The Beach Boys, but dirty guitars like Dick Dale or the Ventures. I’m sure Wipeout was a big deal, if only because it was the only way for the drummer in a garage band to get a solo!

I always liked this one. Still have the single. As a teenager I loved cranking the amp to number 11 for the intro.
Maybe that's why I finished up with a Laverda.;)

 
Northcote Theatre.
Coming from Clarksdale, Mississippi gives you a hint :)
Even signed the setlist for me..

Was a bad hint really Quentin. I've seen him play a little delta blues, but not on this occasion.
Very much electric blues, Chicago blues, searing guitar solos with accompanying Hammond keyboards.
