You have to listen to the Marra/McFalls Chamber album in the correct order KFD. I don’t use Spotify, so I don’t know how they present it. It’s a live album, and most of the songs have spoken intros, and I […]

When I last read about his acoustic guitars, he was playing Loudens. Beautiful things, some of them at exorbitant prices. Made in Ireland I think.

Posts farther down don’t seem to have a reply button…….anyway, you’re all reminding me of this album and I probably haven’t played it for 10 years.

Scratching my head to think, but I remember it being […]

I’m so horny, the crack of dawn better look out! …..or something like that.

Wonderful album. So original….but surely not better than everything else he’s done?

Could she wrestle, and do Elvis impersonations?

Sounds great. I wish some folks would do something similar where I am.

The original Heartworn Highways is worth seeking out. The footage is a documentary of almost unknown (at the time) artists. Mostly it plays […]

Worry makes me physically ill. It raises my stress levels and causes high blood pressure, IBS etc.
I know I can’t change anything, so I just read about it and then get on with my life.

Here was me thinking it was a New Year Resolution.

Hugh Jarse.

Errrr….oops….as you were.

I was at an open mic night on Monday, when this bloke said he was going to play a Tina Turner song called ‘Proud Mary’! FFS

Since you mention 50 year anniversaries…tomorrow is 3rd February. In 1969 that’s […]

My pal told me once, that he was walking round a garden centre (Dobbies I think), and The Beautiful South’s ‘Don’t Marry Her’ was playing over the PA. He noticed right away that it was the album version that was […]

No need for Lucinda to be blonde either.

…..and whit aboot oor wullie directly above him?

Michael Marra.

Had a ticket for his gig 3 miles away, but I had just finished a crap 12 hr shift, and because I was going on my lonesome, gave it a miss. Got tickets a couple of years later, but he was too ill […]

Jings, crivens, help mi boab!

30 cds @ £238 Amazon tells me.

Nearest HMV is in Stirling 15 miles away.
Nearest FOPP is Edinburgh 25 miles away. There are two FOPPs in Glasgow but that’s almost 30 miles away. Don’t know of any other […]

I’ve read lots again this year, and mostly really enjoyed them all. My favourites though were

Poverty Safari – Darren McGarvey. Non fiction account of the author growing up in a dysfunctional family in a […]

Sorry to reply to my own post, and I hope you haven’t finished counting, because it seems Santa reads my Amazon wishlist. So, I have listened to the new ones a few times now, and I want to change my original […]

Twang up there makes it all sound so easy.

Your lips and teeth will be numb almost immediately. And you won’t have enough puff.

Twang’s advice is what you’re aiming for, but I would suggest simply learning […]

My turn to watch alone with a couple of whiskies and a beer(FPO at Xmas night out).

I really enjoyed this. Sometimes a wee bit political, sometimes very deep, and sometimes very funny. I thought it was just […]
