I suspect that bannork has chased the pussy cat too

in his day.

By the way the cat is mine, which fortunately lives in

the UK, as Gnasher's favourite gourmet delicacy is

Cat a la Soi, served fresh, hot, and knackered.

 

 

I ain't revealing any more personal details after my story on that fink, fairy Fry, throwing me and my mates under the bus. Look what happened? The fricking thread got closed down with all those comments removed.

Still, now we can repost all the old songs again,  and again, something myself and others, were prone to do.

Prepare yourselves, fellow posters. ex- boarding school survivors, leering and lusty ex Middle-East black gold diggers, for a brace of the same Dire Straits and ZZ Top from the man they couldn't hang for singing badly from Pichit.

I had a copy of Then play on, the album that had this song early 70s...Peter Green was having probs with psychedelic drugs and I was too but he remained consistent until he totally flipped the bucket...in hosp with ECT and etc...I 'self medicated' with alcohol...

 

acid, mescaline and etc can be just as deadly as the bad shit but you lose yer sanity rather than yer life from an OD, a crispy critter in the wild blue yonder never to return...I knew some really bad burn out cases back in the old days...barely functioning...

 

later during the 70s tutsi is with a dear friend from high school listening to music and she sez 'I like the new fleetwood mac better' and then tutsi stands up and screams 'how can you prefer that soft rock twaddle to Peter Green's artistry???!!!' she's still a dear friend but she never forgave me for my outburst...

 

but I haven't regretted it for a moment...

Their first album after Green's departure and released in Sept. '70, Kiln House, was excellent.  Granted, Green's amazing guitar playing was gone, but it was still a very decent album.  Here's Station Man off of that LP.  It was surprisingly hard to find on YT.

 

I've probably related this tale before but I saw Peter Green twice when he was touring with The Splinter Group back in, oh, 98' and '99 I believe.  He played at probably the best venue in Chicago, the Park West, an intimate lounge setting with sofas, coffee tables, and waitresses serving alcohol.  Seating is right up to the stage if you arrive early enough.  The 2nd time I saw him he was billed with John Mayall and we were hoping they'd play together.  Alas, it didn't happen.  Mayall had another gig in Minneapolis so had to depart.

 

Shortly before the show let out we were informed by another patron that the previous year the band came out to chat when there were only a few stragglers left in the venue.  So, we hung around until the place near emptied and sure enough they appeared.  There were at most 8~10 people and the band chatted with us for about 20 minutes.  Still have the autographed stub of Green and the rest of the band mates.  I've highly appreciated his guitar playing since I was a teen so this was quite special.

yeah, de blues was always meant for small venues like clubs, etc...loses something in large ones unless they got good sound engineers...

 

I never associated station man with fleetwood mac (sounded like a Dead tune) but I incorporated some of the licks into my own playing until I put it down forever about 1974...itsa drag as I feel that I'd havta learn all over again if I wanted to pick it up again...and weeze old now without much time left...

Oh come on tutsi, if your guitar playing is anything like your writing it will be unique. Fiery runs followed by plaintive bends, sort of like good old Roy. Just need to change the lyrics here a bit- instead of going down to the graveyard to see my baby as Roy sings, Tutsi will sing going down to the grocery store to see my baby.

The wonderfully seductive Albatross.  This vid is from the same time frame when I saw him.  You just can't forget a shirt like the one he's wearing.  He played quite a few of the standards, including this one.

'my grocery store babe don't wanna love me no mo'' and she brushes by shakin' that thang as tutsi moans with dismay/pleasure...and she then turns and looks at me glacially and gives her not inconsiderable hip a bump in my direction and disappears out the door to continue her labor...heinous in her intent to torture a sick old man she can't be more than 20 y.o....

 

and then tutsi munches seaweed flavored crisps trudging down the soi with a backpack fulla vodka and ice and ponders, how would've Bukowski or Faulkner handled that brief episode in a few words or less?...

 

minimalism is where it's at...

"I want to Teach the World to Sing", I don't remember who sang this song

but it certainly wasn't Peltin Elton. With a voice like that, there is no way

he could teach anyone to sing.

[Tippaporn]

I Love You . . . I'll Kill You from Enigma off of the '93 Cross Of Changes release.  My at the time 16-year-old daughter bought this when I took my kids to Austria back in '97.  I stole the CD from her and I've yet to give it back.  I was a rotten father.

What about that then?

Orinoco Flow by Enya from her '88 Watermark CD.  Love her works.

 

 

[Eagleizer]

To be honest, I did not listen to any song when I read the title,

but the first song that came to mind was this: 

 

 

If you're only a whore for beautiful guitar solos, jump to 4:10.

[Tippaporn]

Only Time is off of her 2000 release, A Day Without Rain.  What a sweet, angelic song!

Yeah, he's got a modicum of talent.  Not bad . . . 

 

I liked him better when he's a rocker.

 

Mystery Train from his Elvis Presley LP in '56.

I was in Denver on new years eve in 1970 (it was cold) and some local musicos had gathered at a guitar shop to check out the new acoustic products...and then a dude started with the above song but with cocaine insteada coca cola and the whole shop joined in the refrain...very nice...

 

later I had to make my way back to California to get back to college and a storm was comin' in and I went thru 3 separate blizzards on the road goin' over the rockies...and a cop comes by and growls 'I see you here when i come by again yer goin' to jail'...soon after got a ride that took me Grand Junction just the other side of the mountains...by then I had acquired a road companion just released from federal prison and then there was a lonely homosexual that offered us shelter for sex...thereafter things got complicated real quickly...

 

I managed to escape and got a ride with a VW van load of jesus freaks that took me to Riverside, CA...slept all the way thru las vegas...and Elvis said viva las vegas...

 

an epic musical odyssey in the snow...happens alla time when yer young and reckless...later I read Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk's Snow to see if he had ever hitchhiked any distance...

Not mothers cat, but mine and fortunately lives in UK

as Gnasher's gourmet delicacy is Cat a la Soi, served

fresh, puffed out, and knackered.

I suspect bannork has also chased the pussy

cat.

The tame version.

ever notice how the black girls got the nicest booties? why is that? them white girls look skinny and anemic in comparison..

 

hey man...don't think yer special, I was confined in a boarding school in Bolivia no less for 6 months in 1965 ('we gotta do something with tutsi' 'well there's a guy I know that runs a missionary school in Bolivia') and spent nearly 20 years workin' in the ME, never got laid except by some trafficked asian whores here and there...one was from Kazakhstan and had ornamental gold teeth, I fell asleep after a pleasurable tussle and she left taking only the money that we agreed upon...

 

ZZTop is always good fer the nekkid dancing women business...I actually think that ZZ Top had naked dancing women in mind when they recorded their music...always the featured music in go go bars...

 

 

[seancbk]

 

[tutsiwarrior]

also good for the nekkid dancing women...notice how the snare drum rim shots correspond to suggestive hip swiveling...
