Tower Of Power 'nuff said.

Blue Guitar - Blue Jays (Justin Hayward & John Lodge)

Lady Marmalade - LaBelle

America - The Nice

Upon The My-O-My (Captain Beefheart)

I didn't need a Rickenbacker but I still bought a MapleGlow 4003 (after spending a month thinking about it, trying a few different models/finishes, trawling YouTube and reading many threads here and on other websites). Lovely instrument, looks gorgeous and using the Ric-o-Sound output to drive two separate amps it sounds great. Just need some gigs now.

Money - (Pink Floyd, Flying Lizards, Bern Elliott & The Fenmen etc.....)

This multiplied many many times.

Completed a deal with Russ for some Black Schaller StrapLocks. Excellent communications and a smooth transaction. Thanks amigo, and stay safe. Chris

Devil's Answer - Atomic Rooster

Dance With The Devil - Cozy Powell

It's currently a conflict between ....... Steely Dan - Cousin Dupree and Dave Brubeck - Unsquare Dance

Breakfast In America - Supertramp

Take Me In Your Arms (And Rock Me) - Doobie Brothers

Calling Newcastle Brown Ale 'sh*te' is heresy. In my opinion Newcastle Brown Ale was, and still is, a lovely pint. Anyway back 'On Topic' - My Basschat Strap Locks have been delivered safely (thanks Ped). They look the business and will be installed tomorrow. Take it easy and stay safe. Chris

Rocket In My Pocket - Little Feat

Mr Bassman - Johnny Cymbal (?). A fun song from way back, about bassplayers in general rather than any one apecifically. Chris.

Venus - Shocking Blue

Farewell In The Rain - The Shoes (a memory from the good old days ! !)

The Runaway Train (Michael Holliday from September 1956 ish ! !)

Also with the proviso that valve front-ends are OK, my two choices would be: MESA Walkabout - 'nuff said. A very early Genz Benz Shuttle 6 (into a Schroeder 410L) - I really should have kept this rig, it was fairly easy to move and sounded awesome.

Gimme A Pigfoot (And A Bottle Of Beer) - Bessie Smith

Thunder And Lightning (Argent)

Round Round - SugaBabes

WOT ! ! no Donald Fagen - I'll put that right immediately. From Steely Dan's 'Two Against Nature' album here's the last verse of "Cousin Dupree". The whole story is told in the song, and the musical groove is Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat. One night we're playin' gin by a cracklin' fire And I figured I'd make my play I said babe with my boyish charm and good looks How can you stand it for one more day She said maybe its the skeevy look in your eyes Or that your mind has turned to applesauce The dreary architecture of your soul I said, but what is it exactly turns you off?
