Here's an enjoyable interpretation of the classic.

Talk about fine form!  Beautiful tune there bannork.  And if you're hearing an echo don't be alarmed.  It's quite normal with bannork.

 

Here's a pretty song . . . a very pretty song, Girl From The North Country, vocals shared with Johnny Cash.

How dare you !!

How very dare you !!

I’ll have you know Leeds has produced some of the country’s finest musicians , more than Liverpool by a big margin () !!

Here’s a fine example of one of Leeds finest sons changing music history.......... forever !!

 

 

 

 

P.S. I resisted the urge to post Malc Almond and Soft Cell

 

And here's Andrew in poor form.  Not only in poor form but also walking a dangerous line by threatening to post some Malc Almond and Soft Cell.  You fully understand, Andrew, that doing so may get you banned from this thread?  Not only that but you would be liable for any compensatory payments paid to victims due to auricular damages if they inadvertently hit the play button.  You might possibly avoid these serious repercussions if you played Tainted Love, which wasn't a half bad tune.  Anything else, though . . . 

 

And in support of Andrew's seemingly wild claim of great musicians existing in Leeds here's legal evidence which would stand in any court of law.  The Cresters with the 1964 hit I Just Don't Understand.  Your welcome, Andrew.

Now if only we can get bannork to admit to possession of his secret '64 copy of Seven Daffodils buried in his back yard by this fine band band from Leeds, The Cherokees.  New to me that American natives had come from Leeds.  I had been under the impression that only pilgrims had sailed.

 

For added effect listen to this with headphones while laying on the sofa with eyes closed.  Sleep inducing, is it not?  Amazing!!

And here's talahtnut in, well, typical form.  My mum approves yet again, talahtnut.  Not to be outdone, here's The Manhattans with There's No Me Without You, their '73 classic, stolen from my mum's vast audio collection.

Here's bannork in W-T-F??? form.  Not only does he assault us once but twice in the same post!!  Unforgivable!!

 

Tina partners much better with Ike.  Errrr, did someone cut the mike?

Here's balo in turn-the-dial-quickly! form.  I had a gf back when this song came out.  The day she played this I dumped her.  LOL

 

Here's a song that will cause convulsions along with a possible oral effluent ejection.

Here's morrobay in greaser form.  Still sportin' that ducktail, morrobay?  Love the 50's sound.

 

Duane Eddy with the Peter Gunn Theme off of his '59 Especially For You LP.  Some interesting facts about Eddy.

 

In his early stages of his career Eddy devised a technique of playing lead on his guitar's bass strings to produce a low, reverberant "twangy" sound.  To accentuate the "twangy" guitar sound a 2,000 gallon water storage tank was used as an echo chamber since studios at the time had no such thing.  Duane Eddy was the first rock and roll guitarist to have a signature model guitar.  In 1960, Guild Guitars introduced the Duane Eddy Models DE-400 and the deluxe DE-500. A limited edition of the DE-500 model was reissued briefly in 1983 to mark Eddy's 25th anniversary in the recording industry.

my mom took me to Bolivia when I was two y.o to show me off to her family but we didn't stay...her aunt Carlotta who was a campesina woman (her father's sister, native dress and no spanish, only quechua) took a shine to me...later when I returned and stayed for 2 years she died and someone got a pickup truck to collect her from the hospital morgue...and we bumped along a bumpy track back out in the countryside and I sat in the back with the box and it was so dark you couldn't see yer hand in front of yer face, literally...and then the truck stopped and a howl of grief went up from the darkness and unseen arms hefted the box into the darkness...I guess I shoulda been horrified as I was only 15 y.o. but I just quietly observed and there was a candle lit adobe house on a nearby hill...I just lit a smoke and followed along...

 

 

I just wanted to stay at home in California and go surfin' but expatriateness kept followin' me around...btw those quena flutes are incredibly difficult to play, ancient and indigenous and stringed instruments didn't appear until later with the spaniards in the 16th century...me and a pal would play, me on guitar and him on recorder in place of a quena...I didn't know it but I was thereby inducted into the 'nueva cancion' movement of the 60s (my pal was older and a self professed commie, studied biochemistry at the local university, I was still in high school) and that could get you killed by fascist military dictatorships at the time armed and trained by the US state dept...

 

zamba para Don Rosendo by Jorge Cafrune later to die at the hands of the fascists in Argentina and a hero, this one is a personal favorite...

 

 

listen closely to his guitar, very nice...

 

 

Here's tutsi in his signature storytelling telling form.  He really only posts music as an excuse to post so many memorable tales.  Don't be fooled!!!

 

You've really got me hooked on this guy, tutsi.  Aside from his wonderful guitar work he's melodically mesmerizing.  I've since downloaded quite a bit of his music.

While I often claim to be from Leeds I was born and lived for many years in a small town midway between Leeds and Bradford and as it has a BD postcode I suppose I am from Bradford !! ( but who wants to admit that !! ).

Soo, in another feeble attempt to salvage my heritage , here goes.

NOTE: am resisting the urge to post Kiki Dee or Smokie [emoji51]

Here’s Allan Holdsworth on guitar flying the flag for Bradford !!

Consider yourself a fortunate son, Andrew.  Providence could have placed you in Hull.  Oh, dear!!

 

Here's a Bradford product you should be familiar with.  5 years outside of this thread's timeline so I'm aware I'm risking a spanking.

well, you know how folks use music to help illustrate a story...sometime ye can use a story to illustrate the music...

 

I was dismayed when I returned to the US in the late 60s and played some of the folk music I discovered in latin america to choruses of 'ick!, what's that?' when anglo folk music was pretty much accepted and these were middle class kids that did well in school and had liberal/cosmopolitan parents and etc...their reaction is something that one would expect from uneducated yobs...maybe I just didn't play it very well, Jorge Cafrune I ain't...

I'm thinking of releasing an album called 'Dead in Leeds'.  The music would be something like this-

Where do I send my £1.99 to get the LP, along with fan club membership and free stickers?

 

Forgot to mention . . . for that kind of money I'd expect an autographed, To: Tippers, 8/12 x 11, glossy photograph as well.

What a grand time to be alive.  Did you check out the two old ladies wandering around?  My oh my, did they get lost on their morning stroll?  And all the pot smoking.  Simply shocking!!  I guess the millenials are correct in blaming us boomers for the sad state of the present world, right?  LOL

[Tippaporn]

Four Sandy Denny / Fotheringay numbers from a 1970 live Beat Club show in Germany.

 

 

And now for my disappearing act . . . 

[tutsiwarrior]

where are the police???!!!! cover up them stoned naked children and place in protective custody until their parents can collect them...otherwise they may start with the sex and violate the literary heritage and memory of Thomas Hardy...

 

tutsi unbuttons a girl's clothing with the pulsating rock and roll in 1971 'what did ye say yer name was?' 'Bathsheba...heeyah, let me help ye with that...' to reveal a long limbed english rose with translucent white skin...'there's an actress that looks just like you that's not due to be born for another 15 years' and she smiles at me crookedly and sez 'well, don't let that stop you...'
