music in the shed

While pottering, this came on and triggered memories of having dinner with Rick and Harvey Goldsmith, in '73, resulting in time spent as a roadie on the Yes' 'Topographic Oceans' tour.

Brings to mind my late brother, Nigel's, time in the UK Hamish. He'd come from Oz with serious interest in all things Yes, including playing in bands either covering their music or of a similar vein. And of course, he had the Chris Squire Rickenbacker to go with it.

While in London he worked for Plackays (no idea how to spell it!) who did high-end musical instrument and equipment hire. Anecdotes we heard from him included supplying the tubular bells to the studio for Mike Oldfield, delivering something to Charlie Watts at another studio (and conversing with him behind the dunny door in the bog!!), and suffering the ire of Gary Glitter when something went amiss with the foldback at a concert.
 

The Upsetter ponders recent goings-on in the world`s smallest city - state ....... ( at least he would if he were still alive .... ) ..........

... " Jah would never give that power to a bald-head man ... " ........ he may well have a point there .........

Probably put up in the past sometime , but any Mick Taylor era Rolling Stones is worth a second look .......... ( tried this before , but then YouTube withdrew it , or something ........ so it may disappear again .... ) ........
 

Hope Sandoval hitches up with a couple of moody gits from East Kilbride ......... just don`t get involved in their arguments Hope , they`re brothers ..............

Brown Sugar is a favourite. Always brings back memories of Beaumont, Texas, 1976 I think, doing the Spread with a mate in some bar when it came on the jukebox. Police came in the front and the patrons bundled us out the back into a ute as we were just under age. Remember rolling joints for the driver as we went down the road. Happy days!
 

From George Martin`s album " In My Life " ........

John Lennon wrote the lyrics , but Paul McCartney claimed the tune , which Lennon disputed .......... George Martin played the piano though , so that`s ok then ...........

...from sugar discloured to Bitch on WOT.... Mick does a great job getting this lyrical encyclopedia to sound coherent.... sorting this live for my itinerate muso performers, take some getting around on the 42" double bass... long distance travel as it were... j.

 
Potpourri this one, enigmatic Samantha of Fish stock, Jessie knowing where the punters are all that and more... a fav on my various live gigs around here, Hip Shake, Slim Harpo of the day had it all and then some... need headphones for this one... j There is the complete live show on yt...

Have their double CD, live. Bought those on the strength of the said same song above.

Indeed the music business is as cruel and unrewarding in all its forms, unless your of certain www flavour then all is good, lack of demonstrable talent is no barrier. Yet for the few of us whom can see talent and the hard work it took to bring joy, fortunate to witness an island in a sea of poo ( paraphrase ) "Real music in a sea of shit" was the banner at a famous if not underground folk music shop in Sydney... j.
 
Whole gig from SCOTS, one of the most easy to navigate clips on YT. Fabulous editing and index. Songs of note 40 miles, which am covering with one of me gals on vocals, other songs will leave it to you for any appreciation to SCOTS. What a star is Mary on bass.... j

Mary is great! “Papa was a preacher and Mama was a go-go girl!” I also like the song about the Fly that rode from Buffalo.

Is 40 miles the same song as 40 miles from Vegas?
 
Yes its Vegas, great chorus hook line, going to be a hoot doing that song and Firefly (green back fly on some concerts ), also on the card here, probably double up together. The staging of 8 piece box has much gravitas for the punters participation. 30 years same line up, admiration from me. j
 

Did Robert Gordon`s cover version of this a little while ago ..... so may as well have this original version as well ...........

Marshall was always just one fatal plane crash away from being a really big star .......... ( RIP Buddy Holly ) .........

The man who introduced R L Burnside to the world decides to talk about the blues ........ except the exploding Mr Spencer is nowhere to be seen , so Winona Ryder fills in for him ...........

Well , it was either this or shoplifting $5500 `s worth of designer clothes , and a couple of years later it WAS shoplifting $5500 `s worth of designer clothes .............

.... and J C Reilly fills in on drums ............. I don `t know , bloody actors pretending to be pop stars ..................
