[trevethin]

Do. To don't. Takes me right back to 6th form times ... DON'T bring me down.

 

[grumpyhack]

STOP

Slim chance of seeing this lot live any more - so I'll probably have to settle for some of the touring tribute versions.

 

[trevethin]

Stop. Go. Wherever I GO. Video clip from Exeter which is our nearest city.

 

[grumpyhack]

NOW

 

Originally managed by Brian Epstein and supported The Beatles on their early tours.

TOMORROW 

Loved these opening Other this year.

 

[grumpyhack]

WEEK

 

There are tribute bands and tribute bands.  The Bootleg Beatles are about as good as it gets and their Sgt Pepper tour with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra next year sounds worth catching - and they have a Glastonbury hole in their tour schedule.

[trevethin]

Now. Tomorrow. Week.

Time. Time PASSAGES. Used to play and play this. Wish we'd still got our LPs ...

 

[grumpyhack]

CAT (Well you can find them in passages and, as you and I seem to share a taste in Al Stewart Trevethin, have another one).

I first encountered Al Stewart in the late sixties when he was a resident at the Troubadour Folk Club in Clifton, Bristol and have enjoyed his concerts, from small intimate gigs to big band productions at large concert halls, ever since.

I love the arrangements on this, from the tinkling piano intro to the soaring sax solo and it might still be one of my Desert Island Discs.

 

[brandycoke]

..Ron ron .

 

[brandycoke]

Ha , i had "do" as a link, well behind with that one 

[grumpyhack]

I don't know how many dos and ron, rons there are here but, hopefully, enough for everyone.

 

And a few nice Dos in here with a link word of TIME

 

[oneeye]

OUT 

And a couple more rons.......

[grumpyhack]

IN

I saw Chris Farlowe a couple of years ago at a gig in Cardiff and he was spot on.  Afterwards he was talking to fans and signing CDs and Mrs GH went up to him and said: "I first saw you at the Colston Hall in Bristol in 1966."  He paused, looked her in the eye and replied: "I thought I recognised the face!"

I also saw three bands in three weeks perform Handbags and Gladrags, Mike D'Abo (who wrote the song) with the Manfreds, The Stereophonics and Chris Farlowe.  And Farlowe's version beat the others by miles.  He's still touring at the age of 76 with the Norman Beaker Band and is well worth catching.

[trevethin]

In. Thin. Thin Lizzy.  I just love this track. So I'll go with Whisky.  WHISKEY In The Jar.

 

[grumpyhack]

Take your pick from SCOTCH, BOURBON or BEER

 

I first discovered George Thorogood on the original Live Aid Concert when he was playing part of the American leg.  He's still going strong 40 years on mainly touring resorts in the US. Good boogie blues guitar.

[trevethin]

Quiet here. So I'll choose a quiet one.  Whisky related again ... but the word instead this time is regular.  Here Comes a REGULAR - The Replacements

Happy Christmas anyone here

 

[grumpyhack]

Happy Christmas Trevethin - and all other Word Associators.  I live in a non-smoking house (Mrs GH hates smoke and smoking) so I pop out periodically to my 'posh shed' - my home office in the garden for a fag and usually a quick e-mail read and EFests log in.  So this is my 'fag break' response.  It's got regular and booze in the first verse, so should qualify as a link,

It's also one of my favourite songs.  The link word is PIANO.

 

[brandycoke]

Merry Christmas WAGs.

That sounds like the type of shed that i might frequent gh.

Is it licenced by any chance ? 

Link is Time ?..couldn't really link it, but hey.

 

 

[grumpyhack]

Time to wish you all SEASON's Greetings.

I was going to say don't over do it.  But if you can't over do it at Christmas when can you?  Have fun all.

[brandycoke]

Love winter.

 

[oneeye]

FAST

 

Hope you're all enjoying the holidays; up and out early, visiting relatives over the next few days. Enjoy over endulging

LAST

Sorry about the quality.

[grumpyhack]

TIME (to bump up this thread)

 

[brandycoke]

Swindon's finest.

Couldn't find a decent live version.

Over

 

 

[grumpyhack]

Sorry to get a bit heavy but this video was shown at the original Live Aid in 1985 and I saw news footage only yesterday of famine in Africa that shows we've not moved on much 30 years.

The song is DRIVE by The Cars
