  1. Good song, and yes Alan Tarney was prolific around that time, sure he did some work with Sir Cliff. You've got to have pop music, so you might as well have good pop music.
  2. Yes, that would be me. Sadly though, I neither have the talent nor the ability nor the looks.
  3. Recorded it last night and watched 2/3 this morning before being dragged away to family lunch. Seemed a very honest programme, can't wait to finish it and then re-watch it. I hope perhaps it will in one way or another put a few more shillings into the pockets of Andy and Colin, I think they deserve more than they got. (Much more). Credit to SKY for having the gumtion to make it.
  4. Maurice used to ask her every morning how she felt. usually answered: Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell
  5. Thanks for the heads up. I always keep and eye on BBC4, particularly on a Friday night. Often something musical on.
  6. [quote name='Raymondo' timestamp='1506955563' post='3382278'] Your location doesn't say which country you are in but in the UK, High,high,high. was a double a side single with C Moon being the other.1972 ish ...I bought it I didn't buy Mary had a little lamb so couldn't tell you what was on the "B" side I remember it came out just after his earlier jolly ditty, Give Ireland back to the Irish [/quote] I'm halfway up the stairs.... in England. I told you my memory was jaded, and faded. I thought C Moon was rather risque as well, perhaps it's my mind!
  7. My jaded memory is telling me that's the Mary had a little lamb song, dunno if thats correct though. The one with a banned song on the A side, High High High?
  8. Here, 'old this for me will yer luv.....

  10. [quote name='casapete' timestamp='1505298615' post='3370791'] Blimey, tough crowd! An amazing body of work over 45 years, universally acclaimed live shows, killer band , supporter of human rights - just for starters. For me, Springsteen carried on the legacy of Chuck Berry - songs people could easily relate to about girls, cars, the American Dream etc. But he also matured into so much more, his prolific songwriting skills developing with each album without ever making a duffer IMO. I've been fortunate to see him perform a few times, and he remains the best live act I've ever seen. Always delivers, with a wry sense of humour that complements his more 'serious' material perfectly. Fully understand if you don't like him, but overrated? Nah........... [/quote] Thanks for that. I didn't actually say I didn't like him, I guess I just don't understand. I'll give you and example, and this is purely my take on it. A concert with Roy Orbison, obviously about 20 years ago coz he's dead now. Bruce is onstage with many other notable musicians, Elvis Costello being one that sticks in my mind. You don't hear Bruce's voice, nor his guitar. Why was he there? Another: In his book, he claims that all his early gigging honed his playing and made him a really good guitarist, but Ive never heard him play a solo, he's always there with the Tele around his neck, but to me, seemingly silent. And I stress, I'm not looking for an arguement, I'm looking for enlightenment. I've got his early greatest hits compilation CD, and of course all the songs are so well worn that they offer little to me, should I be listening to something else? (meant sincerely!)
  11. [quote name='Osiris' timestamp='1505281109' post='3370644'] Bruce Springsteen. Second rate pub singer at best. [/quote] I just dont get Bruce either. Could someone explain please? Great performer, songwriter and all round good bloke agreed, but legend?? How?? I read his biography and enjoyed it and it took me a bit closer to him, but legend`???
  12. [quote name='prowla' timestamp='1503957858' post='3361874'] Oh man - the ding must've knocked a bit off its value. [/quote] Thats the Custom Shop Roadworn version.
  13. Still touring and appearing to get good reviews. Andy in his luxurious blondee wig. An acquantance of mine, Pete Lincoln is on vocals and Hohner stick bass. Perhaps I'll catch them one day, seem to gig a lot in and around Holland.
  14. I bought Rosie Vela's Zazu, I think it was produced by Walter Becker IIRC. Haven't played it for years, better dig it out. Nightfly?? I'm on the "Masterpiece" fence.
  15. Kid Charlemange - Steely Dan, and it was a hit!
  16. Haven't watched much of Glasto this year, but glad I caught Chic. Are they the original girl singers??
