The first one he did was put out live on Facebook I think. Anyway, people were able to comment, and lots asked about some of the things in the room, and Loudon explained who and what they were.

We’ve not had music in Scotland for yonks. Not even piped music in garden centres or cafes. The Captain’s Bar in Edinburgh (where live music used to be played all day, every day) applied to set up some tables out […]

No idea if the video can be captured, but surely Audacity will capture the sound.

Loudon Wainwright III did a 1hr show (stream) for his birthday a couple of weeks ago. It was $12.
Lyle Lovett and Dwight Yoakam are doing a show (stream) this Saturday. I don’t know how long it will last but it […]

The world championship? If so, do not under any circumstances, miss the final frame of the semi-final between Wilson and McGill. Unbelievable!

Off the top of my head –
Pretenders – Isle of View
Randy Newman – Songbook(vols. 1,2 &3)
Bryan Adams – Unplugged
Dwight Yoakam – dwightyoakamacoustic.net

“If you listen to “Up on Cripple Creek” I believe Garth was the first guy to use a clavinet as a funk rhythm tune…it was before [Stevie Wonder recorded] “Superstition.” I mean listen to it, I always thought i […]

We were at a little hotel, in Grandtully, Perthshire, at the end of last week. The Isle of Gigha halibut was the most expensive thing on the menu at £27. Ribeye was £25, and venison £24. I was quite surprised as […]

Not forgotten here. I have seen him more times than I have seen any other artist. Yes, lots of covers. Everly Brothers and Michael Marra seem obvious, but not so Radiohead and Talking Heads!

I don’t think of myself as a film fan, but I have seen and enjoyed all the films in the OP.

Never seen any superheroes or Harry Potter, and probably never will.

There are 5 in the top 10 of our(your?) movie […]

Fabulous!! That’s something new I learned today! So, where have you been Peanuts? I remember when this place was full of folks who knew this type of thing. Seems like it’s just folks arguing about Abba and One Direction now.

I learned that my jokes aren’t funny, and that nobody knows Jackson Browne lyrics.

When someone plays a shot, worthy of a replay, usually a long shot, hit hard, then the sound effects give a pop for the cue strike, then it’s almost like a rifle crack when the balls make contact, then you’d think […]

Jackson Browne- must’ve played in a thousand bands.

I am talking about the added sound effects used in the replays.

Regarding the crowds. Have you watched any snooker? I’m actually enjoying it, but the canned applause is pathetic. I used to think the sound effects of the balls connecting, or hitting the back of the pockets was […]

Most of Tom’s output has been remastered.

The smallest milk I can buy in Tesco is 2 pints. I only use it for porridge in the morning, so after 4 days or so, well over 1 pint goes down the sink. I hate wasting food/drink and I try to avoid going to Tesco, […]

Fred Eaglesmith says PHD stands for post hole digger.

Thanks again to dai for all his hard work. I am certainly no film buff, so I didn’t make a list. I am far too lazy to work out a top 10, though I probably couldn’t name 20 films off the top of my head. Looking at […]
