Timeless

My sister insisted on watching The Monkees on BBC1  Saturday early evening every week.

They weren't the answer to The Beatles of course but they had a few catchy numbers.

R.I.P. Peter Tork.

So many bands were on fire in 1966, it's amazing we have any vegetation left at all.

The first bass lines I ever learnt when trying to play de rhythm n blues. Simple but so effective.

Ever had that frustrating experience when you can't find a song you used to love?

Back in the 80s I had a Taj Mahal number on cassette, he was playing the banjo and whupping up the crowd something rotten, the chorus was something like, 'do the stomp'

Searched everywhere on youtube but never located it.

1963 and tutsi's got the Linda Lu bass line down on Walter's new Fender precision bass (held upright in reverence to Bill Wyman of the stones) that he gave up to sing lead and shake maracas...and then Walter cut in with the vocal and then the lead Al at the solo as he could then really display his chops...

 

later at a high school dance some posers were in there with Linda Lu and me and the band ho hummed...they didn't have nothin' on our ass...they were just a few years older...

 

 

whale on it, boys...them girls were shaking their shaking their 15 - 16 year old booties all over the place...the debbil's music with sex, substance abuse and death...

 

'it's the negroes and their music!!!...we must have the police restore order now!!!'

 

too late...

46 years ago today DSOTM was released , despite its huge success and staying in the top 100 uk albums for 532 weeks it never achieved the number 1 position ( peaked at number 2 )
Even more surprisingly, due to its obvious familiarity, the song Money was never released, as a single , in the uk ( released in US and peaked at number 13 ).

My favourite track by The Who, from the album Quadrophenia,

5555 Something went a little wrong there Alex. Since this new format which doesn't require any use of icons to upload, I've often found I'm 'stuck' on the previous song and have to shut down the TV page and start again.

A great track by Joe.

Before i get too old i want to go back to the UK one summer, stand in a field full of hippies and throw a frisbee between friends whilst music like this is playing on stage.

My parents were very fair. My Dad favoured my sister and my mother favoured me. Then when our younger brother came along, an accident apparently, they both decided he was the best of the lot.

lol

an old favorite...lyrics simple and easy to remember...later wid some girl in Bolivia who was 5 years older (21 to his 16), as he was intoning the lyrics he didn't realise what he was gettin' into...'I'm pregnant...' 'uh, well...I suppose that we could get married...' 'HAR, HAR, HAR!!!' (as in 'what a ridiculous concept')

One of the enjoyable side effects of growing up in the 60s and hearing such a wonderful array of music is lyrics or titles just pop into your head whenever a situation related to the words arises.

Thus when Tutsi Miller refers to Hey! Baby in relation to his role as a toyboy jig-a jigging with an older 'lady', my mind immediately turns to JJ Cale's track of the same words, admittedly without the exclamation mark,  signifying perhaps a relationship less torrid but of longer standing. A tortoise against a hare.

The trains in Thailand, at least to Issan, have run on time for at least the last six or seven years.

Before then, they were frequently late by 3, 4, 5  or more hours.

Thank you, whoever you are.
