I noticed you're in a bit of a reggae / ska groove at the moment....... Me too.... 8)

Take an hour to sit down and enjoy this.... right up your street.... all old 45's and album tracks mixed on the fly......

And here's part 2....

That's very nice indeed. Daughter who's now living here has also got into a reggae/ska thing recently (partly as a result of watching the brilliant Small Axe series), which we're all very much enjoying.

Since the Interwebs have run out of other things I've now taken to watching random recommendations. One I did a few months back is a comedy set in ancient Rome, Plebs. OK show, fantastic soundtrack. Basically six seasons of trawling through the Trojan rocksteady back catalog.

Yep, Plebs is so-so, but the soundtrack was pure class. They mixed well known tunes with much rarer items - which was nice!

Calling it in.
The Hilton arena was an awful looking box.

Wow!!!! What a sound from the 3 lads. Keep it simple and rely on your talent. Brilliant sound quality from a live gig in 1983 :shock:

Song: Alley Oop
Artist: George Thorogood & the Destroyers

One of the few songs he ever covers that isn't about Being a Badass, Women, or Booze (or random combinations of the three).

Like just forgot to add whatever usually gets added. Thanks for checking up.

Fixed. And I still say those three subjects account for 99% of the Thorogood catalog.

Monday Morning On The Moon - Andrew Cash.

Occasionally misheard as "Monday morning on the moose", it's a Canadian thing I guess.
