Where there's a beach there's quite often a Bay. Youghurt posted this bloke on another thread, caught my imagination, here's a flavour of Juzzie Smith

And him having some fun in a most recent vid.

While Yog and Whisty broaden my experience of new talent I feel it's in part my job to paint in a bit of the history.  Thanks for Juzzie Smith - one to look out for.

Meanwhile a blast from the past, who's still performing.  Roger McGuinn of The Byrds.  Saw him do an excellent solo slot at Glasto a few years back.

You can have bay-coloured horses and also chestnut-coloured HORSES

.SAHB performing to the track, no live vid unfortunately.

Giddy up, or ding dong.

Ding Dong BELLS

 

It sounds like Christmas is a comin.

[carlosj]

There's a STAR at Christmas

 

[grumpyhack]

And our nearest star is the SUN

 

[brandycoke]

Not what you would call a Madonna fan , I own just this solitary single.

Tried the copy and paste thing with the Opera browser, and couldn't get it to work, so back to Safari.

 

Rain .

 

[grumpyhack]

PURPLE

HAZE

 

 

[grumpyhack]

Purple was a bit of a sitter and asking for it really.

What about SUMMER

 

[carlosj]

OUT.

 

 

There is a film which is based on the Prince film but with a local star taking the lead. It's called 'Blue rain with red in it', from Niger (there's no word for purple). Sounds good but I missed it at the local festival.

OVER

 

Not a bad night when you can count Springsteen, K.D. Lang and Elvis Costello amongst your backing band.

When I was a teenager people always seemed to release records like this after I had a break up.

A cracking finish with a superb version of Pretty Woman.  The Whole Black and White Night concert is worth hunting out.

Different slant on a relationship then. Link word together

 

[grumpyhack]

That four letter word WORK

 

[brandycoke]

Colin Hay better known as singer/songwriter from Men at Work.

 

[grumpyhack]

BOYS

There are tribute bands and tribute bands.  Limehouse Lizzy really are a great night out and a very hardworking band.

 

[brandycoke]

Girls .

You can sing along in Portuguese too 

 

[carlosj]

Human.

I wanted to pick 'outnumbered' from the last link word, from having 3 girls and 1 wife at home, but couldn't come up with an easy link

 

[grumpyhack]

SWINGER

 

A lead in to the magnificent Fred Wedlock.  Sadly a Grumpy Gonner but a lovely and very funny guy and a stalwart of the Bristol Folk Scene for many years.

 

[brandycoke]

Think Dolly's version live at Twickenham could've inspired England to greater things at the world cup.

Low .

 

[grumpyhack]

FAIRWEATHER

A great trio at Glastonbury Andy Fairweather-Low, Nick Lowe and Paul Carrack.  It was a superb slot and this doesn't really do justice to the variety of their set.  But enjoy a sing along.

If you look up Andy's history it's like a Who's Who of rock, including being Clapton's Musical Director for years.

John Martin - Bless the Weather

Nice bit of Jazz on a Saturday morning. Child.

 

[grumpyhack]

 

 

A blast from the past and a link challenge

APHRODITE's Child and Rain and Tears.  Demis Roussos in his, relatively, slimmer days.  Now another Grumpy Gonner who died in January aged 68.

For some people his big moment was a key off-screen soundtrack part in Mike Leigh's beautifully observed play Abigail's Party.

Just fell across this - all the Christmas No 1s.

I wonder how many us old farts on here can remember.
