  1. See You Later, Alligator - Bill Haley & His Comets
  2. Been there. Some bands ago we found a drummer, who seemed OK. One rehearsal there was a very racist comment; we let him go not too much later.

  11. It really won’t be, central London has changed immeasurably due to development. The parts that haven’t changed are mainly in The City, which wouldn’t really have featured in photos from the ‘60s. As to it ever swinging, well, I grew up in London in the ‘60s, it was fairly meh. That said, living and working there until recently, every decade was meh from a fashion and cultural perspective, just same old, same old with less flared trousers. After 30 years of working and commuting to central London from South London, I can understand that. We moved 500+ miles north in 2020, to a rural location and when we went back down to visit friends, I couldn’t wait to get back to my new home. I never had me down as a country mouse, but that’s what I am. Another thing about London and the Home Counties is that, at least from my experience, it’s rubbish for live music at the pub/club level. Getting gigs is ridiculously hard and the monetary rewards piffling. Things are much better away from that conurbation (I wonder if it’s the same for Manchester, Birmingham and the like?).
  12. Sash in Pocket - The Pretenders
  13. King of Pane - The Police
  14. It's Raining Again - Supertramp
  15. Yep, me too. Not keen on Dunlop's either. I've gone back to Grolsch bottle washers. Trouble here was that I couldn't see the wear behind the rubber.
  16. Oh, as do I. Well, normally. I opened the bag with the spare bass in it, no strap!
  17. In addition to the first set of keyboards not working, yesterday, the guitarist forgot his pedalboard, resulting in an hour's round trip to retrieve it. Then, halfway through the second set my strap gave out and was hanging by a single, impossibly strong, thread. What a palaver! Still, get all the niggles out of the way in one swoop. They don't make that strap design in black anymore and I really like it, so this morning was spent ransacking an identical one in red, that I don't use anymore, for parts. Good as new, even if the sewing isn't the neatest. Action pic from yesterday.
  18. Well, this one tried its best to be as bad as I anticipated: Guitarist forgot his pedalboard and had to make an hour round trip back home to get it; keyboardist’s setup refused to send a signal to the desk, fortunately, a spare was at hand and worked, not as good a sound though; halfway through the second set I felt my bass move, my strap had split at the strap pin and was holding on by one thread, went to use a spare from the backup bass, no strap packed 🤦🏻.
