Big_Stu Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 [quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1342688486' post='1739179'] One I admit to no-one (except to the whole world on here) is 'The Organ Entertains' on radio 2. Listen on i-player most weeks. Absolutely no idea why, the music is often dreadful, I think its part fascination with these electro-mechanical organs - about which I know very little. [/quote] I've been known to sit in the balcony of the Blackpool Tower Ballroom watching the Wurlitzter player doing his stuff. Damn, I'll have to go in disguise next time.

4 Strings Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I love the sound of Wurlitzers and Comptons and the idea of what they are. Look at this, from the State cinema in Grays, Essex; [attachment=113533:state-cinema-organ1.jpg] No doubting the talent, looks etc of Taylor Swift. Not my pleasure but I can see why she's definitely one for this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debwilliams Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 [quote name='gub' timestamp='1342685234' post='1739103'] Deb the darkness are playing as I type this , love it [/quote] Fantastic. Who couldn't love "Friday Night"? Guaranteed to make you laugh. I saw The Darkness in Cardiff and they were brilliant. I'd driven into the the back of someone whose brake lights weren't working earlier that day and an evening with the brothers Hawkins was just what the doctor ordered. Love 'em.

yorks5stringer Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 [quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1342649819' post='1738890'] Had a singalong to Roger Whitaker's "Durham Town" today - which I also have on CD, (did I say that out loud? ) Great song, though for a Geordie type bloke his geography's off a bit.

BILL POSTERS Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Santana and The Doobies, Louis Prima of course but only if the suns shining. Nothing wrong with that, but in the winter I'm partial to a bit of Mud, Slade, or even Sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sausage Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 My missus has her Youtube playlist on and the following song came on. I love it! Which is bizarre! It made me wonder if there was a guilty pleasure thread and lo and behold there is. Here is one of my many! http://youtu.be/bBPtP4t2J1k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul torch Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Keep this just between you and me but I do have to confess to liking a bit of Ted Nugent. It took years for me to separate his guitar playing from his politics but then I still watch Charlton Heston movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Stu Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I used to have a manic obsession with all things "Slade". To the point of having three guitars as near clones of theirs, still got them, though the SG will go back to having a P90 when I find a good one..
