Discovered this album today. Recorded and produced in Memphis, Tenn. during the week of the short-lived Memphis Blues Festival in June, 1969

Bobbie Gentry - Mississippi Delta (1967)

 Great songwriting. 

Jack Kirby art

 I was an FF fan as a teen and Jack Kirby was the best artist in my opinion.


The Punk Rock Movie Full 1978 Movie Don Letts

 This is worrh the watch. Low-fi but captures the craziness of the time. 

The Punk Rock Movie (also known as The Punk Rock Movie from England) is a British 1978 film that was assembled from Super 8 camera footage shot by Don Letts, the disc jockey at The Roxy club during the early days of the UK punk rock movement, principally during the 100 days in 1977 in which punk acts were featured at The Roxy club in London.

Carl Perkins, Matchbox

 Happy birthday Carl Perkins, 

Celia and me

 In the English Civil War Society. 


Adam Ant - Room At The Top 1990

 I liked this. The riff is pinched from Laibach. I like the '18th century brain in a 21st century head' line. 

The Who - Anyway Anyhow Anywhere - Ready Steady GO! 1965

 Heard this on the radio yesterday. One of my favourite Who songs. Ferocious drumming. 

Midsomer Norton mine disaster 1908

 Today we remember them. 


The Bluebells - Young At Heart - Top Of The Pops - Thursday 1st April 1993

 Daughter Celia's birthday today. She used to like this one when she was young. Originally from 84 was a hit in 93.

CYRIL DAVIES and his Rhythm and Blues All Stars (U.K) - Chicago Calling 1963

 I have this on 45. Pioneering Blues harp from the UK. Famously grumpy. When a young Mick Jagger asked for pointers he said 'you suck and you blow'. Died young. Biography

Malcolm McLaren and Lisa Marie - Something's Jumpin' in Your Shirt 1989

 This album of Viennese waltzes was good. I always enjoyed what McLaren put out. 

Don't Say Tomorrow - Prisonaires 1953

 I was a big fan of this record in the 80s. 

AMOS MILBURN. Down The Road A Piece. Recorded Live 1954. Boogie Woogie Piano

 The great Amos Milburn doing a classic later covered by Chuck Berry and The Rolling Stones. Recorded live from 1954 backed by The Paul Williams' Orchestra for the syndicated series "Showtime At The Apollo".

Blondie In the Flesh 1976

 Just heard Clem Burke has passed away. Very sad. Song wiki

This is really fine. One of the best harp masters.
