    Trouble with this, if you do gig, is that the bass is in the wrong position when you switch to standing.

    The signals should all be part of the stage show - but then perhaps that's not the point of a church band.

    Might have a new project post lockdown, so nailing some disco/dance music: Boogie Oogie Oogie, Street Life, Groove Is In The Heart, Sing it Back for starters 🤩

    Don't get me started! As a former music shop owner I have a real problem with the concept that once something has spent a nanosecond hung up on the shop wall it becomes ex-demo, and yet everyone loves the idea of being able to try new stuff out. Funnily enough I dien't last very long in that game - it would have been fine without the punters 🤔

    So have I

    One of the originators of the small kit was Sonor. I remember them being popular with Jazz drummers when I was a kid (and sounding great). No idea how good their current mini offering (the Martini) is, but probably worth considering with their history.

    Was going to say similar - listen to tracks where the bass drops in/out and hear the difference it makes.

    Trucking/driving is another biggie. Willin' - Little Feat The Weight - The Band Truckin' - Grateful Dead Radar Love - Golden Earring Loads more, but funnily enough, I've got to go on a long drive for work

    Night Nurse one of the greatest of all time - not greatest Reggae, just greatest.

    Ah, the greenest of all music - always recycling 😄

    Marcia Griffiths 'I Shal Sing'. On the radio this morning - nice early transition from Ska into a later style.

    Great news? I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't approve of this development. A tiny number of companies delivering vast quantities of cheap goods is not my idea of great news.

    Late 70s early 80s US import 12s were great. 33.3 and only pressed on one side. Stupidly expensive though. Great content too, if like me you like full on cheesy disco!

    Yes, a couple of interesting bass entries that are not the obvious choice but work really beautifully.

    I have a strange memory - remembers things it doesn't really need to, and you having cited JO several times is one of the things stuck in there. What I need in the supermarket, sadly, isn't!!

    Funnily enough I thought of you when I saw it!

    A friend posted this on Facebook - someone has isolated a single audio track from an SACD, giving just lead vocals, bass and drums. It makes for a fascinating listen.

    Looks fabulous. Great build (as always)!

    Looks like Allan Clarke and Graham Nash called themselves The Hollies for a couple of gigs prior to getting signed which is when Tony Hicks and Bobby Elliot joined. So yes, technically, there are no originals, but a bit tenuous if you ask me.

    No, tried to help her with a side project, then Curved Air decided to get back together, did Isle of Wight, but someone had a big issue with Sonja having someone working for her. So petty I quietly backed out. You are right about Francis though, shame he didn't want to be involved, but that was for the same reasons/person as me!
  22. Mykesbass
    Looks like Francis Monkman had got his facts wrong when I was chatting with him - now fancy that
  23. Mykesbass
    Strictly speaking, I think Curved Air fit this category. I believe that Sonja Kristina was not in the very first line up, but now sometimes goes out under the band name.

    Menudo

    Well that was something special. Thanks for the heads up.
