Randy California rarely gets mentioned in best guitar solo polls, but this has always been a fave

Danny Baker once said that Some Fantastic Place had replaced Goodbye to Love as his favourite guitar solo

I’ve always liked Debussy’s orchestration.

“ On the Ball” on the following day “How the cup was won (or drawn)”

I’ve been using the app on my iPhone & iPad far more than my kindle, so it’s not such a biggie. However, for any other files, I’ve found that the “eBoox” app is able to cope with anything I throw at it.

Went to the preview night with in Chiswick on Wednesday. Really enjoyed it – fuller review once I get my thoughts together.

This was released 2 years ago, & shows the calibre of guests he had over the years, as well as making fun of himself.

The Baron is worth watching for the “itc rep company” of extras that pop up. Thursday’s episode had Mike Pratt (Randall) as a heavy alongside Michael Robbins (Arthur from On the Buses) then Philip Madoc turne […]

Perhaps the most 10cc sounding song was Standing on the Inside, which is like a more “pop” version of The Wall Street Shuffle.

The end of the C&T version has the line “Sedaka is Back”

May I also point out that “Paul’s Granny Music” (as his colleague called these songs) meant that Beatles music reached a wider age group, than they otherwise might, with all the associated publishing royal […]

Craig Ferguson referenced this in a comedy routine 35 years ago. “ i’ve seen some things, that a woman ain’t s’posed to see” “Probably a king’s dick!”

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin who has a bit of”previous” for rubbish lyrics. It’s not surprising if “a few of the verses get” you “quite cross”

Thank you, that was incredible. Great to see something fresh as a tribute & put a big smile on my face.

I’ve said before how I don’t like his boomer rants – “there’s nothing new here” “it’s the same throughout” – missing that it’s not aimed at him, and to 16 year olds, it will be new. Some of his music theory piec […]
