Thanks Panther. I'm sending the link to my friends in the French group.  Practice and enlightenment.
The last couple of days while I've been trying to write, Wilko and Dr Feelgod have been charging along on the stereo.

Burt Bacharach having just passed and some dialogue about Elvis Costello happening in the reading group,
I thought I would post these as a tribute to Burt.

I heard Mott the Hoople on the radio today, All The Young Dudes.  Not my favourite, so I checked youtube for my favourite MtH track - Roll Away The Stone.  The audience reaction is distinctly cool:-

Such a great song.  One guy seems to be tapping his foot. Underwhelmed doesn't cover it. 
And while I'm at it, when young and cutting about the West of Scotland, music kept me sane.  Some of the others I hung about with were soul fans. I still go back to Sam & Dave, certain Otis tracks,:-

Robb,

thanks for those links. I will probably be reposting some of them on a music site I frequent.
Re that tribute concert I posted.
I found it disappointing.
Somehow there was a lack of vigor and energy from the Orchestra.
Made me realize just how good an arranger and orchestra leaded Burt was.
When he arranged and conducted, the featured artist lifted and he got the best out of them.
That Diedrich number was from a live album. She did a tour and Burt was her arranger and accompanist.
She couldn't say a bad word about him.   
Cheers!

Paw!
I was wondering what your opinion was of the Rezillos. I assume you heard them in Scotland at least once?

I see they have had a reunion,. In 2022? 

[paw broon]

I enjoyed their stuff but never saw them live. I was acquainted with Joe Callas, who went on to the Human League.  Been in his wee studio in Edinburgh.  The acquaintance was brief as I met him through the bloke who ran FP.  The business side of that still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Paw,
surely you know that  : After his time with Mott The Hoople, Ian Hunter performed under his own name and gave great concerts.

In 1980 he was in Germany, in the Grugahalle Essen, as part of a "Rockpalast Nacht". The great Mick Ronson, who unfortunately died much too early, was a brilliant guest star in this concert.

Robb, Panther,
thanks for the Burt Bacharach Links.

I found myself once again enjoying the video for Caro Emerald's That Man. From what everyone has written here I gather I'll be the only one who likes this bouncy Dutch group. Watch the video anyway...it's a clever homage to Saul Bass, Hitchcock movies, and even a vintage arcade game.

From what everyone has written here I gather I'll be the only one who likes this bouncy Dutch group.

Crash, what on earth makes you think that?
This tune reminds me of something else - I can't remember what that it is.

That's basically electroswing.

There was a modernistic swing revival at the end of the 90's and into the 21st century. It died down but it's still out there.

Warning! Tap-Dancing!

cheers!

[paw broon]

OK, I listen to all sorts of music.  I dislike rap, hip-hop.  Certain C&W really appeals if it's Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Lucinda Williams, even a bit of Robert Earl Keene. But I really like a bit of noise.  Stuff that charges along.
So, as a big Chris Farlowe fan I suggest this, the B-side to Ride on Baby.  What a racket. Please play loud.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CT-DD_ZgZ0s

While I'm at it, I've mentioned this next one before but you can't get too much of a good thing.  Small Faces and P.P. Arnold
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vWTtx_PxPo
And here's Plonk Lane giving it laldy:-

One more 'cos it's stunning:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQ4KOqY6HEY

In a week or two I'll be back to EST and GoGo Penguin
Actually, please play all these loud.  You might not like them but there's energy, excitement, talent and sheer enjoyment.

[The Australian Panther]

Good stuff!
Thanks Paw.

[bowers]

Thanks from me too, Paw! Always loved Small Faces- hadn't heard the extended "Afterglow of Your Love" before. Couldn't get the the Chris Farlowe B-side though. Could you give us the title, please? Cheers, bowers

[paw broon]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wri-vj3B5OY

That should be it.  Fingers crossed.

[bowers]

Got it, Paw! Chris Farley just wasn't very well known over here and I believe it was you who introduced me to his work- thanks! Cheers, bowers

I'm currently in the process of organizing all my books, videos, pulps, toys and games, comics, and other ephemera located in my "Basement of Doom". Hasn't had a proper going-over in years and what better to listen to than some old-time radio? Starting with "The Blue Beetle" (I want to hear a Kooba Cola commercial) and then on to "The Green Hornet"! Also been working on "The Scarlet Pimpernel"- fun, but with a strange sense of continuity. One episode has everyone knowing Sir Percy is the Pimpernel and in the very next episode, nobody knows! The lead actor, Marius Goring, must have insisted in his contract that the announcer use his name at least twice in all the intros, as well as his most famous screen credit! Annoying, but Goring was a bit of a ham. Wish me luck, guys! Cheers bowers

Wonderful Panther.  Thank you.  I've listened to and watched this performance.  Uplifting.
I'm testing negative now.  Due to my good immune system or a blast of The Groundhogs followed by a wallow in the sheer quality of GoGo Penguin?

Paw.
congratulations on the new Avatar. An Egmont cover, I think?
To celebrate,
see if you like the music of Jazz Guitar wonder-kind Kurt Rosenwinkel.

Thanks for the link AP.
Not Egmont.  Detail from Charlton # 74 cover.  The late, great Don Newton
I did look at a lot of Felmang covers but decided on Charlton.
