music in the shed


.... and onto Saint Etienne .......... named after the French football club rather than the city .............. so the line " Move the club out to Newbury , sod the fans and their families ... " doesn`t really apply here .......
 

...... and from the football league to The Human League ............. On behalf of all the silk worms out there ................

Human Laegue vocalist Phil Oakey sold his Triumph Trident T160V not so long ago ........ a total rust bucket ....... " life got in the way " apparently ........

Well , that and a recording contract and international chart success , I suppose ...........

Not sure if he`s still got his Spondon framed Laverda triple ...........

..... and whilst we`re on the subject of two wheeled Triumph and Laverda type things ...........

Here`s what to do if caught doing a ton - forty down the local by-pass after a " couple of pints " in the pub ........
 
Blowing own horn...... managed to sing lead on this Sirocco Bros ( UK ) few weeks back, on double bass, has me challenged singing melody while playing rhythm, then fading away too soon is not going to happen, not that day at the least, my guitarist said what is the progression, "its in B... and stays in B... he was amused... and grateful, no rehearsal, setup as we stood the stage, off we go... alarming and satisfying when the punters smiled... a win....j alas no footage ( some would be relieved here, smile )...

 
Les a unique in the land of unique's, on his bullet mic in this clip is homage to Mark Sandman of Morphine, two highly valued performers, in a class few could live in....j


 
Will do Sock, or become a fading "also ran".... horrifying thought, could be worse "a has-been that never was".... love the name, Acrylic Teepees, reminds me of Hillbilly Moon Explosion song.... a fave band here. j

 
Imitation, has me vexed at times, yet the dedication is all that and more, be a good show at a good venue, others perspective sort...j

Born in Santa Barbara , but still in prison after 56 years .............

( I reckon every time he comes up for parole , someone plays this track and they decide to keep him in for a little bit longer .... ) ..........

Three years later ....... Jagger as Turner in the film Performance ..........


John Bindon puts in a fleeting appearance at 4 : 11 ..........

Best known for shagging Princess Margaret , Bindon was hired by Peter Grant as " security " for a Led Zeppelin tour of the United States ........ " Worst decision I ever made in my life " , reckoned Grant ....... " He was nothing but trouble from start to finish .... " ..........

In one incident , arrest warrants were served in one state for grievous bodily harm .... ( or the American equivalent ) ..... against Bindon ...... drummer John Bonham ...... and another member of the Zeppelin crew ...... after an American venue employee was badly beaten up whilst trying to stop Bonham`s son from walking off with a piece of venue property .........

They managed to avoid the issue , and were back in England before the matter could be pursued any further ........

One of Bindon`s party tricks was the ability to hang six one pint beer glasses off the end of his willie ............. That`s the " Swinging Sixties " for you ........

He gained access to " privileged " society via his girlfriend .... model Vicki Hodge , the daughter of a baronet ...........

Seeing as James Fox was in Performance .......

...... . here`s Smack taking an interview with brother Edward ..... which was printed in the New Manchester Review ............. and using it as the basis for their pop single " Edward Fox " .........


....... " I think human beings are incredibly tolerant ...... If they really sat down and thought about how they are mis-treated , then there really would be a revolution ...... " ..........

You tell `em Ed ..............

This kid is awesome. She's only 16 and has a prodigious talent. She has over a million YouTube followers and donates nearly all of her YouTube income to charity. When I'm feeling depressed about world politics and the fucking stupid wars going on at present, she makes me feel like the world isn't such a shit place. Actually, she's Ukrainian, so has more reason to be angry about war than I do.

I've watched a bunch of her videos and she never uses sheet music. It's all in her head.

 
Talented no question, though clip has studio sound added, spotted am sure, indicate all the same. Celtic women, have their amazing skills also.

This gal at that age has much in the future, provided the lunatics dont become president or similar.

Two instruments that elude me, have two violins, daunting, can make them sound dreadful with "skill few could descend into, one acoustic 'tother electric. Trumpet, having your lips vibrate like a kazoo the whole time is for the gifted, that is not me.... can manage a semblance of melody, though only enough to be asked to stop and leave the stage... a smile... nice to see you are actually alive Cam... gives us hope...j
 
From Tonys' wide offerings, my mind goes to this.... love the eastern beats, cannot be beaten... yes i know... stick to the soldering iron...


Live version of Dub Yalil, on yt, this will have to do...as cannot find it...

 
Mum and Dad did real good.... a moment of bliss becomes a trio... lots of clips from this family, fabulous... mum is good on guitar, dad is absolute anchor in the room... the daughter has plenty of real talent destined to become unlimited.... also for Tony, Rebel Girl cover from them, on yt. j
