Unfortunately, I'm really not. Bits of me still feel 16. Unfortunately, increasingly, not many of them are moving parts, which are in serious need of major surgery. Mrs B has found a way to freeze time...she's made a pact with the devil or joined the ranks of the undead or something.
Sorry Smithy, my computer says that site's not available. My GP's got me on serious levels of pain killers, which is probably a fair explanation why bits of me think that I'm still 16, especially when you add in a few drinks....................................who am I again?
Damn, just found out that Dr Feelgood are at the 100 club tomorrow but it's sold out ,shame I've got a late appointment at the hospital and could have made a night of it
Increasingly, gigs we're going to contain a fair number of girls in their 20's, normally in 2's or 3's, without blokes. Many of them are not English but seem to like their punk. Mrs B usually tries to speak to everyone. I'm so deaf that I can't hear a damn word that most people say.
Sounds a bit dated now.But didn't they perform, "Candy,Candy,Candy Man...…"? Gosh.I haven't looked at my old records for forever. I never got rid of anything! ….including David Whitfield. Loved his voice when I was a very early teenager.
My wife too...and 2 blocked arteries which they say is too dangerous to clear...plus 3 sick dogs that will put me in the poor house or a straight jacket!
They did and it's reckoned that Jimmy Page played on the session... There was little knowledge of how to record rock 'n' roll in this country in the early 60's. Most of it sounds incredibly tinny, whilst some incredible talent played on it. Even these classic British rockers sound like they were recorded in a distant bathroom...
Sorry to hear that, Smithy. I've taken to reminding myself that today, I am probably fitter and healthier than I will be for the rest of my life. There's no point in waiting until I feel better...this might very well be it.
Definitely agree there, but I'll bet that played live, the 60's versions were much better than the studio recordings suggest. Until about '64, British recordings on rock 'n' roll were ridiculously lame, with the producers using their methodology for crooners, show tune recordings and the like. These are rare exceptions...
