Nunney Ghost

 Bought a book Ghostly Encounters South West by Simon Underwood. They had the Nunney ghost story which was current when I lived in Frome.

J. B. Hutto Hip Shakin' 1968

 A really good rocker. Birthday today for J. B. Hutto.

10 best selling punk albums

 Quite a shocking list. Surprised to see the Clash out selling the Pistols. I suppose you could argue that some of these aren't punk bands but it isn't that interesting enough to think about. 


The infotainment scan the Fall 1993

 Released today in 93. I think I went to Bath specially to pick this album up. Reckoned to be accessible so why not give it a try. The opening track is spectacular. Saw this album live right at the front. Wiki

S'Express Hey Music Lover 1989

 This was a cassette we listened to. 

Ramones - I Wanna Be Sedated (Official Music Video) 1978

 


Here. When we had a car and used to drive about we used to play cassettes in the car. None of your 'wheels on the bus' stuff. The kids got an education. Troggs, Buzzcocks that sort of thing. They particularly liked this one even if they didn't not what being sedated was. 

In Paradise the Cookies 1956

 I love this record. The bass and drum combination is heavenly. The notes say

This earlier edition of the Cookies provided backup on recordings by various Atlantic artists before they evolved into Ray Charles’ group The Raeletts. The 1960s Cookies (“Chains” “Don’t Say Nothing Bad About My Baby” "Girls Grow Up Faster Than Boys") were a new act, though Dorothy Jones of the original group was a member.

Don't Knock the Rock |1956

Here for the full movie

Hands to bathe

 


Our friend and drummer Geoff was in the Navy. He told us about this tradition. When the sea and weather was conducive the Captain would order 'hands to bathe' and the crew would jump into the sea for a swim. A longstanding tradition. He was also in the Navy when they had a Rum ration still but that's another story. 

Bath this afternoon

 Susan has gone to Bath. Not too busy. Busker doing Starman. 


George 'Wild Child' Butler live

Wiki on the man

The Sonics the Witch 1964

 We did this one at the wedding. . Wiki on the song

A great song that is simple and effective.

At a wedding in Chilcompton

 We - the Mud Dogs - got asked in 2003 to play at a wedding. I think Rich the singer was best man. It was in the British Legion. When we started playing all the guests all left and went to the pub over the road. It was a bit embarrassing. 

The Somerset Book - Nutshell series

 Also got this. A pretty good cover I think. Printed at Butler & Tanner Frome 1982 - when I was there. No jokes about typos. 


Frome Murders and Misdemeanours

 Picked this up today. Looks good. Fairly recent.
