Up the Junction by Squeeze – these lyrics always annoy me……. ‘This morning at four fifty I took her rather nifty Down to an incubator Where thirty minutes later She gave birth to a daughter Within a year […]

Can’t pretend I was a Dead fan but I always thought Box of Rain was a great song. R.I.P Mr Bassman (It is a bit scary these days with so many people I ‘grew up with’ becoming extinct)

I think Timothy B. Schmit and Randy Meisner were ‘nice’ guys I would also like to think that Jackson Browne was too but I think Daryl Hannah might not agree with me.

Apologies but I have to post my usual comment here and the answer is, as usual, Manfred Mann.

Don’t forget Tony Blackburn too!,,

Smile with Tim Staffell was (were?) generally regarded as Cornwall’s most popular band during the second half of the 60’s. I think that Freddie Mercury’s first appearance with Taylor and May was in Truro City […]

Blues From Laurel Canyon is still a great album. Time for me to post my usual correction: Manfred Mann original 5 members are still with us.

I can’t find a clip but it was widely known that, in his Hollies days, Graham Nash often used a guitar without any strings on it!

Manfred Mann original members are still alive.

Not a ‘laughing’ on stage moment but more a quick acknowledgement…….let me briefly explain: several years ago my friend Thomas and I went to see him at the Hall for Cornwall in Truro. I think the perform […]

Don’t know why my comments got lost! I just wanted to say this version has always been a favourite of mine for over 60 years now. Much better than the dreary version on Please Please Me as sung by George

Yep he was the one member of the Eagles who seemed like a ‘good guy’ – a great voice and that voice certainly played a big part in the Eagle’s success. I first became aware of him on Rick Nelson’s album ‘Rudy t […]
