It was a toss up between posting it here, or in the joke thread...

I'm currently listening to early Louis Armstrong. Love a bit of real old jazz and man that cat could play a horn!

 

[Doc Strange]

The original and the cover, what is best?

Hadn't heard the BHS version before - like it.

Can't say it's better than the original but it's good.

Cheers!

St. James infirmary is a strong favourite of mine. I like those dark songs like Dead letter blues

I have a brilliant set of ten CD's of Satchmo from his early period, including a song where the female singer says "you can beat me, black my eyes etc. if you'll only come back to me" definitely non-pc. One of my favourites is King of the Zulus

The set came from a German company that I bought a load of sets from for pennies many years ago. Can't remember the name of the website but they were excellent for Swing, Blues, Jazz and classical.

The only decent album they made.

My Favourite Pink Floyd track...

Learning to fly, is one of mine. But this fucking poxy site wont let me post a link ffs !

 

[MICK 56]

A bit of classic CCR with added attack helicopters especially for @BAD LUCK DUCK ...

Violence is golden, by John Fogarty is worth a listen. This fucking site wont allow me to post a link.

Brilliant film. Clooney is a great comic actor in it. too.

 

[MICK 56]

This is brilliant ...

He's an Ozzie not a Jock & he calls himself the Bad-piper. He seems pretty good to me!

I saw him in Salisbury market place, a few years back. Great outdoor show.

 

[MICK 56]

Bad moon rising, is a great tune too.

 

[MICK 56]

Fire Lake, Night moves, and Against the wind, are among his best stuff.

Man of Constant Sorrow is a great tune and I loved that film myself. Can't beat a bit of Bluegrass when the mood takes me. @MICK 56 are you using the wee chain link icon to try and post the link in the post window?

 

[Old Nick]

Good taste in music there @MICK 56

 

[MICK 56]

would have loved to have seen Slade in their heyday , numerous have said they were superb live

A mate went to see the band Sweet, and said the same about them. Who would have thought eh.

I cant get that to work either. I have been trying copy & paste.

Prompted by Sarky having a jolt about listening to Dylan at 17. I don't know if Dylan prompted my love of words that dance along a sentence or whether something else did but if you love words you can't not love Dylan.
One of my gateway musicians at around 17 was Hendrix. From atonal Jazz to slick soul my ears were softened or led in by Hendrix.
And this has a nice bit of lyricism too

The wind cries mary, and Pali gap, are good tracks.

My favourite UB40 track...

I saw them in an amphitheatre, carved into a field, in Cairns, Queensland. 1992/3. They were good too.

Slade played Reading in 80 I think - they were amazing!

Saw the remains of Sweet later in the 80s in a pub in East London - which was also a good night.

Saw them at Glastonbury in 83 I think.

Being more of a little rocker, I wasn't expecting to enjoy it but they were really good and it got me into their music more.
