Playing a gig several years ago in a Free tribute band, midway through the set, the venue owner comes up to us and asks if we do any Phil Collins.

As long as you weren’t trying to play over the verses, you can be forgiven 🚫

Same monitors as ours, by the way.

Got one of their albums - It’s A Beautiful Day At The Carnegie Hall (Live) from 1972. They we’re known for their song “White Bird”

Difficult to play the drums though 😀

Didn’t realise Sheila E was 61, she looks fab.

Really enjoyed the Stewart Copeland episode on drums, well put together programme. Sheila E was great.

The list is the bands and players that I was really into, Van Der Graff Generator didn’t really float my boat. Steve Knight from Mountain is one I forgot, the keyboard on Nantucket Sleighride is awesome.

Massive fan of the Hammond, many bands I was into in the 70’s, prog etc, I would particularly look at album covers and if the band used a Hammond, it would usually result in a purchase. Don Airey - Rainbow etc Gregg Allman - Allman Bros Rod Argent - Argent Brian Auger - Oblivion Express Tony Banks - Genesis Pete Bardons - Camel John Evan - Jethro Tull Georgie Fame Matt Fisher - Procol Harum Dave Greenslade - Greenslade Ken Hensley - Uriah Heep Tony Kaye - Badger Ray Manzarek - The Doors Ian McLagen - The Faces Gregg Rolie - Santana Dave Sinclair - Caravan Dave Stewart - Egg Manfred Mann - Earthband Steve Winwood - Traffic

Tony Reeves - Colosseum.

Down at Dino’s❤️

Man, I just love the Doobies in all their incarnations, would definitely be in my top ten of my all time favourite bands.

Rebel Yell - Billy Idol, every time.

Or on his Summer holiday 😀

Available from all Ann Summers stores 😀

Surely better to have a great vocalist and frontman, Mr Mercury to name just one.

I like Madness but find Suggs is a vocalist of very limited talent, he’s a talking type singer.

Unfortunately there’s also Marc Almond.

Oh dear, Marc Almond is now on 👎

Vocalist has just agreed to four new songs for our set, so need to start learning. Start Me Up - Rolling Stones Since You’ve Been Gone - Rainbow No Matter What - Badfinger Layla - Derek and the Dominos

Marc frigging Almond !!!!!!!

No Matter What and Day After Day, both by Badfinger.

The Rat Pack at Christmas.

Woodface - Crowded House

Fire damaged stock sale !! 😀
