Something a bit different, which might not appeal to all of you. I've banged on before about 2 piano trios that I love. Difficult to get over the beauty of 7 Days of Falling and the sheer dynamism of GoGo Penguin, but if you listen, well...................

OK, this should be heard on good equipment, but you get the idea.

Quite nice piano playing, and good listening music.

Good stuff! Coincidentally, she is performing in Leiden, where my 2 favourite comic book shops are, only 8 km away from me, and where I've bought 90% of all the comic books I've bought since 1988, when my favourite shop in Den Haag went under new management, and sold only current issues from then on.

My wife and I have been to Leiden a few times. Lovely town. In fact on our bookcase there is a picture of us sitting on a bench in front of the park with the windmill, on the way from the station into town.
I've spent a fair bit in Leiden comic shops, Stripwinkel Dumpie, I think, and Mevrouw Kern?
We've been to Den Haag a few times and I found a couple of wee comic shops outwith the city centre - and spent too much in them -which had some beeldverhaals. Most interesting in one of the shops for me were 2 Spot Morton issues by Georges Mazure. The guy in the shop thought they were by Alfred, but I gently put him right.

I seem to remember that Mevrouw Kern had an original Rikki Visser book but it was too expensive for me and I stuck to the reprints/facsimiles. I'd like De Zwarte Schaduw, but I haven't seen a reprint.
The only letdown for me in Leiden - no trams. I do like trams.

Yes, Dumpie, Leidse Stripshop, and Mevrow Kern were my favourites. I used to spend hours there flipping through the 2nd hand comics. I drew an advert banner for one of them 1n 1990.

My favourites in Den Haag were Panda and Haagse Stripshop. Both are long gone now. Dumpie in Leiden is the only decent one left.

Way back in the '60's, I heard a song, loved it, forgot what it was - apart from one line, forgot about it for a few years. Every now and then a wee blast of that line came into my head. I couldn't find the song again. A couple of weeks ago, quite by accident and while on you tube, I clicked a link and there it was:-

Steamhammer were really good, how could I forget them. "....like a circle round the sun".
Now I'm dipping in and out of this little lot:-

Even the Vernons Girls are on here - not saying it's good - actually it's, well..... - but that is extraordinary.
Lots of B Sides.

thanks Paw, you've made my morning!
My recommendations faves from that little lot.

Annette & The Beach Boys - The Monkey's Uncle - 1965 45rpm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ8xlPMNmdA

Carter Lewis & The Southerners (Jimmy Page) - Easy To Cry - 1964 45rpm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Kt8zPAABiE

The Aquanauts - Rumble On The Docks - 1963 45rpm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rZrU6PCqIM

Johnny Kidd & The Pirates - Jealous Girl - 1964 45rpm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptqf0U7NDAo

Pretty sure I saw Johnny Kidd and the Pirates when they revived for a while back in 1977.

Johnny died in '66 - but the Pirates have continued in one form or another ever since:

I still get a tinkle down my spine when I hear that guitar break in Shakin' All Over

Andrew999 · « **Reply #286 on:** January 22, 2021, 09:36:59 AM »

The Vernons Girls (named after a football pools syndicate) were much underrated - well, not that much, I guess.

One of them married Marty Wilde and is thus the mother of jaw-dropping Kim Wilde - another married Joe Brown and is thus the mother of the soulful smoky-voiced Sam Brown.

Don't get me started on The Pirates. I'm a huge fan. Mick Green, arguably the finest, most exciting guitarist to grace a sweat drenched stage, died in 2010. More recently, Frank Farley passed away.
I was always a fan of Johnny Kidd and The Pirates. Like Atomic Rooster there were many variations in the line-up, both before Kidd's death and afterwards.
Mick Green didn't play the riff on Shakin' All Over, that was Joe Moretti.
There are many videos available an their albums can be bought.

No posts on this thread for a while.
Here are a few variations on the theme for the UFO Tv series.

If I was a school music teacher I would have my students form a band and play this stuff.

Then there is this

We didn't know, when we were watching these shows, that we were also getting a music education.

I've been listening to the Mills Brothers recently, amazing music. This is my favourite song from them:

crashryan · « **Reply #292 on:** July 14, 2021, 05:15:41 AM »

A wonderful group, The Mills Brothers. My personal favorite is their a capella version of "Caravan." This excerpt from an old soundie shows them at the top of their "human orchestra" form (though the sets, costumes, and acting are a bit cringeworthy).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14QEoEIvUuk

Near the end you'll also see a tiny bit of vintage break dancing. Speaking of dancing, another favorite team from that period are the acrobatic dancers The Nicholas Brothers. Here's an excerpt from Stormy Weather, where they dance "The Jumpin' Jive" for Cab Calloway.

Those Nicholas Brothers were amazing! I've never seen something like that! Such a talent.

Here's another of my favourite songs from the immortal Hank Williams:

I'm recently listening to The Box Tops (one of my favourite 1960s bands) and here's one of my favourite songs by them, with a lovely harmonica riff:

bowers · « **Reply #296 on:** July 16, 2021, 07:23:33 PM »

I saw The Box Tops in August 1968 with the Beach Boys in Spokane, WA. Such an underrated band. Our city was the the "dress rehearsal" for most of the West coast tours. We got The Doobie Brothers, Eagles and even Led "Zeffelin" (they misspelled the name on all the ads!) before anyone even knew who they were! Lotsa great (and cheap!) concerts back in the day. Also much more relaxed- we got into a Moody Blues show just by helping the roadies carry their stuff inside. Such a great time to be young! Cheers, Bowers

paw broon · « **Reply #297 on:** July 16, 2021, 07:38:51 PM »

Apart from The Letter, I don't know much about them. It was a big hit here.
Although I grew up in a small town in Central Scotland, it was between Glasgow and Edinburgh, so we could get to concerts. Edinburgh had The Place and a group of us pitched up when Taste were in the bill. We were all big Rory Gallagher fans.
One of the great venues in Glasgow was The Maryland Blues Club and a small group of us were privileged to see Muddy Waters there. Not long after we saw John Mayall's Bluesbreakers with Mick Taylor and Henry Louther.
Oddly, despite the fact that The Poets were a local band, I never saw them live. They played the town hall but it was too rough, lots of gang trouble locally at that time. To be avoided at all costs.
Lots of great memories, plus I ran for the local barriers and could easily outpace the gang guys - Tongs, Toi, Team, Young Team.

FraBig · « **Reply #298 on:** July 16, 2021, 09:35:29 PM »

Wow Bowers, that's awesome! I love also the Eagles and the Beach Boys!
I'm fairly young so I didn't have the chance to ever go to one of their concerts while they were still active. I'm not american too, so it's more difficult to go to an american band's concert.

That must have been such a great experience.

bowers · « **Reply #299 on:** July 16, 2021, 11:57:25 PM »

Thanks, FraBig! It's always interesting to hear a younger opinion of "Geezer Rock"! Lotsa great stuff out there if you look. Also liked your pick for the reading group- glad you joined up! Cheers, Bowers
