p&b is a disgrace

Trust me ..................thats me. Being brought in Fife is something that is outwith my control.

Butteflybairn - I dont want to piss you off, but I have a vision of a very foxy lady. We could be compatible. Do you fancy an "E" relationship? My photay is on my profile.

I did my once a month plunge on a new band today ( at least new for an auld codger ). Bought the Zutons ( on the recommendation of my 10 year old ). I have been pleasantly surprised. Its damned good. Completely ripping of a few late 60's early 70's bands ( the guitarist seems to have a bit of a Jimmy Page thing about him ) - but if you are ripping of decent band, you 're bound to sound ok yourself. If you've got a spare tenner you could do a lot worse.

I know you are one of P&B's fellow seniors - but I reckon you could benefit a lot from a quick visit to Specsavers. After years of asking old ladies what number was on the front of the approaching bus, it made a huge difference to my life.

Were phil & jamie around at that time?

Well spotted.............but it means about as much to me as some of the others named on this thread.

Illegitimate Donkey - My life is a camel.

Bairnagain - I have JrGong ( aka Damien Marley ) in mine at the moment. I know that Bob has dozens of offspring who have attempted to make it on the back of his good name. But Jr Gong has gone the other way, by trying to make it on his own under a nom de plume - and its like listening to the man himself reincarnate.

I wasn't around in the 40's, or even ths 50's for that matter. I just have a diverse taste in music. I current have Jr Gong, Joss Stone, Burt Bacharach, Rory Gallagher, FLC & Syds Floyd on the CD changer. I'm not into following genres. If I like it - I like it. BTW - If you have the oldest poster wrapped up, is that a self portrait on the avatar?

What about Hank Williams? If you listen to Rock Around The Clock, the riff is a straight rip off of a Hank Williams track ( Move It On Over ) which I think was written in the mid forties.

Nope! Why work on a new sound when you can rip of or sample

Cowboy Mouth - Life as a Dog........................class!

Just invested in the new Stranglers album. The guys are back on form.......at last.

Good call. Now where did I put it?

An Effervessing Elephant With tiny eyes and great big trunk once whispered to the tiny ear, the ear of one in fear you hear that by next June he'd die Oh Yeh! And the tiger would roam the little one said "Oh my goodness I must stay at home! And every time I hear a growl, I'll know the tiger's on the prowl And I'll be really safe, you know, the elephant, he told me so." Everyone was nervous, Oh yeah! And the message was spread to zebra, mongoose and the dirty hippopotamus who wallowed in the mud and chewed his spicy hippo-plankton food and tended to ignore the word referring to a survey I heard of stupid water bison Oh yeah! And all the jungle took fright and ran around for all the day and the night, But all in vain because, you see, the tiger came and said, "Who me? You know I wouldn't hurt not one of you I much prefer something to chew, and you're all too scant." Oh yeah! ................ He ate the elephant!!

You cant beat Syds' Floyd.

I've looked over the sleeve notes several times now - but I still cannae see that.

I'll probably get slated for this but............... Katie Melua I'm just about to go through a box of tissues while I read the sleeve notes.

.....and you freely admit to it.

Coincidence or what? Listening to Live Taste. The Same Old Story. I have to confess that I sold out a couple of years ago & "upgraded" my vinyl to CD.
