A touch of in memoriam today. Just found out that we lost Denise Lasalle today. Just played the 2 45s I have from her.

RIP Denise
Lots of Brenda and the Tabulations songs got aired on the Northern scene back in the day. Not heard very often these days as a lot of places are going down the "new, rare and underplayed" route and consider the old "standards" to be thrashed to death and stale. Then you get others who put a smidgin of rare and underplayed in amongst the old uns. Just oldies is boring. Just new or rare or underplayed equally so. Some of those songs are rare and underplayed for a reason.....
ramAnag Yes I've seen the Roy Orbison concert a few times its often on Sky Arts really good no miming there My wife absolutely hates his voice but then again she's into Michael Buble. that's says it all
Just the one song, and what a song it is. 1 of my all time favourites. RIP Mr Thomas.
Top 3 of the day from the Supersonic 80s and Crazy 70s:
1 Devil Woman - Cliff Richard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tuAkdlLhTE
2 Abracadabra - Steve Miller Band
3 Maneater - Darryl Hall and John Oates
Currently reminiscing along to:
Motorhead - 'Motorhead'. The last of classic line-up, guitarist 'Fast' Eddie Clark, died today, and I thank him and his pals for providing the only means a non-drinker like me had of getting a morning hangover. If you go to a gig in the future and think its loud, it isn't. Motorhead were loud, head-in-a-vice loud, so farewell Eddie and thanks for the tinnitus
Loud is good. VERY LOUD IS BETTER!
It was November 79 (15th?) that Motorhead's Bomber tour rolled into town, and for the faithful who may troll this forum, what a night we had eh? Above all else I recall The Bomber itself, an early attempt at adding value to a show it was basically ten tons of scaffolding poles and scrap metal hung above the innocents in the crowd and looking like a wellington bomber chassis might have looked. How it didn't fall and kill us all I'll never know.
Edit, I just saw this on facebook and those who know Motorhead will understand why it bought a tear to my eye.
