Those numbers pale to bannork's when I first got on this thread, July 25, 2017.  But I believe those were the days before he became a farmhand.  :biggrin:

Memories!  My first post in Blasts From The Past.  And I was so hansum back then, too.
 

 

I used to teach at the same school as the bloke who started this thread originally. His first name was Rory, named by his father after the great Rory Gallagher. Rory ended up moving to Australia with his Thai wife and settling down near Sydney. 

In memory of the founder of this thread, an electrician/ teacher who could, and I believe still can, drink anyone under the table.

Sorry to be the bearer of sad tidings if you hadn't yet known, bannork.

Well, I can't let a Sunday go to waste without a single offer of a tune so here goes.

I really enjoy Alex Harvey's early stuff.  Not so much his glam rock material.  Without question he's an exceptional vocalist.  Here he is with his Soul Band on a mighty fine rendition of Willie Dixon's Hoochie Coochie Man in Hamburg, Germany, on 2nd September '63.  The guitar solo rips!

Another fine Alex Harvey track, St James Infirmary Blues, is with Leslie Harvey and taken from the '64 album The Blues.  Recorded at Studio Rahlstedt, Hamburg, Germany, 8~10 May '64.  His pained lyrics are divine.

I had just downloaded Alex Harvey's discography yesterday and so am listening to the early albums.  Harvey covered a lot of U.S. music in his early R&B days.  The Blind Man is a traditional negro spiritual song based on the bible story of the blind beggar, Bartimaeus, from the Gospel of Mark, Chapter 10 (46-52).  This '64 recording is most likely from a Hamburg club.

Street Fighting Man

 

I love this song but MickJagger ain't no street fighting man!. The son of a PE teacher, he has taken great care of himself over the years. His parents taught him well.
