Reading Hendrix on Hendrix Strictly interviews, no pontifications The one thing he wanted was not to be categorized and to let the music evolve as a free jam www.amazon.com... |

![]() World Party was a spinoff. I think they are down to one original guy but they surprised me. They a got a big crowd rocking. |

Hey Emile, they say a hot drink on a hot day is good for you.... a beer is better though - just not so much for breakfast |

Hey I saw George Clinton play this week. Wow! Waaay better than expected. In no way a travelling oldies show. He's still bringing it at 71! Great band and theatrics, too...see him if you can. | |

Already two mentions of bands 'past their prime' still giving it up. makes me feel even more excited about the Hawkwind show. What's the point of half steppin if you're going out to play in front of a bunch of people (ok except for riding your own coattails to make some $$$) |

I was roaming around Oakland last night about 10:30, walked into Yoshi's without a ticket and there was Alvin Lee rockin it. Age has nothing to do with greatness, but maybe talent. en.wikipedia.org... |

![]() @ Jay - we've been lucky so far. Warm but not intense. Took a long walk last night, it was beautiful. |

Really? Then this is something we have in common else we have in common. I thought I remembered them wearing veils instead of fleshy leotards. |
![]() |
![]() they were wearing very big hats when I saw them. Danceteria like around 81 |
![]() |
![]() Not the whole group. I used to know Ken, the lead singer many years ago. Graham Massey went on to form 808 State. I was reading a Hubert Selby book recently and he praised Ken highly as an editor so I got in touch. Here is a link to an interview with him. you might be interested..... www.3ammagazine.com... |

'81. Says here they were from NYC. I think I saw them at the East Side Club back around 80-81. They probably opened for the Stickmen, |

Hello? Is this thing on? |

![]() Hi Bill and everyone. Taken me a while to get going this morning. I blame the heat, though sometimes I feel I'm metamorphosing into some sort of lizard. |

![]() Hey Stanley do you remember Peter Cook & Dudley Moore doing a Scottish version of this called 'I Got You McBabe'? |
![]() |
♥
Sat. 7/20/13 5:24am
Bill Mac:
... in keeping with the weather. Might be cool here in the studio but I'm going through a bit of a flesh crawl at the moment..... Cook and Moore did this? Why doesn't this surprise me? |
![]() |
![]() @Bill - I do not. I will have to look that up. I still enjoy Pete and Dud's recordings. I was thinking, reading the comments this morning that like Fabio and Clay have the occasional throwdowns with their rekkids, I thought the format would suit a comedy track contest. Along the lines Brian suggested earlier. |
![]() |
![]() @Brian - a search of the internet did not reveal a local source of string hoppers. I will not give up, though. |
![]() |
![]() Bill, this came into my mind on hearing the song and seeing Stanleys writing. Lord knows what reccess it was hidden in. I am sure that I am not making it up. Could have been on Not Only But Also. |
![]() |
![]() Stanley try South Indian restaurants. Kerala or Tamil Nadu. Not the usual gloopy crap that passes for curry. |

![]() Jay, I just remember it from the TV. Never seen it since, just lodged in the brain, suddenly released today. |
![]() |
![]() pursuant to the ongoing Cook & Moore discussion, this one literally has to be seen to be believed www.youtube.com... |

![]() Nice one Andy, will check later. Peter Cook was very funny as the judge in the Jeremy Thorpe trial. Hard for those outside UK to appreciate maybe. Though biased judges are universal. |
