  1. When Roxy were still exciting, switching musical styles in a flash.
  2. Big Bill I reckon Big Bill would have dug The Stones and The Doors' music.
  3. Led Zep paid homage to Sonny Boy Williams in their version.
  4. Ragtime guitar/piano music, wonderful upbeat music. I tried to play it on the guitar but my fingers were never quite adept enough, not easy. Rory kept the tradition going, here's a Blind Boy Fuller song. Are any bands nowadays mixing some ragtime in with their own stuff? they should do coz it's great live music.
  5. MD, we can never repeat the gospel enough, for though we are few and far between, there is always the chance a non-believer may stumble upon our lonely page and verily exclaim: ' Tis true, through rock and a couple of beers we are at one with our maker.'
  6. Always loved the term riff-raff,. Avoid them whenever possible, but if they're in the family, firm action may be required: 'Get out, you useless scum'.
  7. As a 60s/early 70s kid, the riffs just stick in the brain/heart/soul Headbanging, foot tapping to the end.
  8. Why oh why has the laughter emoticon button gone? Are we not allowed to laugh anymore? Gingerism 555
  9. I went back to the monthly market, Owl, and bought 20 more durian saplings, now only 80 baht each, plus a mixture of grapefruit, mangosteen and rambutan saplings. Come next month or November, I'm going to need some black cloth to protect the saplings from the increasingly harsh sun. Not sure what percentage to get. One shop was selling cloth with 80% protection but that seemed too high, could stunt growth I reckon
  10. I'm no royalist but she was a beacon throughout our lives .Duty ran through her veins, and that perseverance, attending countless functions, always showing optimism , endeared her to us. When John Lennon was killed in 1980, I felt the same sort of grief, we'd lost part of ourselves. a good part, intelligent, hopeful for the future, a light had gone out in our lives. It's the same again but this time the country has lost its mother.
  11. The father of a friend of mine was stood in line to receive an award from the Queen for his service to British engineering. As she approached him, she leaned forward and said in a quiet voice, 'Any tips for the 2.30 at Epsom?'
  12. She truly understood the meaning of duty and quietly played that role throughout our lives, earning our love and respect consequently. I can't imagine the UK without her
  13. i guess that love is like a Christmas card You decorate a tree, you throw it in the yard It decays and dies, and the snowmen melt Well, I once knew love, I knew how love felt Yeah, I knew love, love knew me And when I walked, love walked with me And I got no hate, and I got no pride Well, I got so much love that I cannot hide Yeah, I got so much love that I cannot hide
  14. Later they incorporated parts of this with 'Blowing Free' in live gigs, great on yer feet stuff. Nice opening riff from Peter Frampton, reckon it 'influenced' Angus Young's 'Back In Black'
