music in the shed


..... Another from the Larry Parnes stable ...........

Looking for a candle to light him to bed , Georgie somehow ends up in the TOTP studio ............

Parnes gave his singers names which he thought reflected their personalities , so we had ....... Johnny Gentle ..... Georgie Fame ..... Marty Wilde ...... Vince Eager ....... Tommy Steele ...... Dickie Pride ....... Billy Fury .............and so on ...................

Joe Brown was on his books , and the name Parnes had in mind for Brown was ........ Elmer Twitch ..........

For some reason Joe Brown wasn`t too keen to go along with this , so it never happened ........ Shame .............


Parnes hired The Silver Beetles .... ( later to become The Beatles ) .... to be Johnny Gentle`s backing band for a short tour ....... Gentle suggested to Parnes that he should take the group on , but Parnes decided against it .........

Doing a couple of Charlie Feathers songs this Sunday, uptempo style, take on Hank Williams Lonesome Blues, with the hook line altered to "She's gone" Nite Howlers ( Spain ) take Charlie songs and rev the limiter, just a tad. Benny Joy Cold Cold Woman, also gets the Nite Howlers treatment, their lead guitar man is on THE money... Find a lot of value in the early Rock'n'Roll solidus Rockabilly, ( its not a "backslash" ) unless the wind is blowing against you in slash repose... j. *** Bit odd, Paul Raven as a name, once Bass Player for Killing Joke......

Was not going to post url, too good to let it slip...

Sting...The most obnoxious least talented bass player of many generations of Brit-Pop
FM radio/college campus stations of good looking guys with great haircuts. My guess
is that his managers told him he was a generational talent,sing,dance,act,compose and
absolutely knew how to find and POSE in front of a camera. Total wanker !
 
The story is that after The Police finished their first album . Sting decided he now knew all he needed to know about making records ...... and from that point on realised he no longer needed the other two .........

Guitarist Andy Summers had been around for about a million years , and had probably seen it all before ....... but Stewart Copeland wasn`t so happy .......

Apparently during the last days of the group , Copeland had a picture of Sting taped to his snare drum ......... so when you see him during TV appearances stood up bashing away at that drum ...................


Comedian and QI panelist Alan Davies said he was on a two hour aeroplane flight in Australia ...... also on the flight was Sting ....... and Sting spent the WHOLE FLIGHT kneeling on his seat , talking to the person in the seat behind ..........

Now that I really would find annoying ............
