Featured Soundtrack...

Tara O'Grady singing 'Danny Boy'
Best ever for me, sung in the style of Billie Holliday.

 

Had to look that one up Mick

 

been to see her when she was doing the rockabilly stuff,she's had a bit of a change of image and musical direction, her new look & sound is pretty good to me she performed this from her new album on the one show a few weeks back

 

Me and Mrs dickydido were driving along the M4 and this was just on the radio.....

....she turned the radio up to 11!.......the speakers in the doors were pumping the panels in and out so hard I thought we were going to take off.........Oh!......what memories it brought back.....hot, sunny summer days full of sha............!



Cheers,

Brilliant track that Dicky, really love it. Brings back memories of a VERY hot tribology student that had a bed-sit at our place, she bought me that record to say thank you. I said thank you to her 4 times that night

 

Hi big lad,.....

.......I hope you, as a 'tribologist', did not skimp on the lube that night big lad, ........so every 'thank you' was a slick performance!.....

.......but what we used to do all night now takes all night to do!...........

Cheers,

dickydido

 

It was ALMOST like that Jez..................................

 

She was the Tribologist mate and I clearly remember that she didn't skimp on the lubing......................

 

......

.....blimey!.....this thread seems to have 'slipped' off 'track' and into a 'crack'!.......

Cheers,

All AU Naturelle as she was with "The" "Big Lad".

 

Paul Kossoff was one of Joes heroes when he was growing up ,along with lots of other British Rock/Blues players

Showing my age but while I'm at it... Just listen to that piano!

 

Well, certainly Tess thought a lot of it

 

And, as I'm off to bed, here's another classic from a different part of the world. Same period mind

 

.....

.......wow! Toad....

.....put on my fedora, tip it over one eye just a bit......pour myself a good slug of Wild Turkey bourbon......dim the light....kick back and enjoy this music....thank you...

Cheers,

You're the man, dickydido! Enjoy

 

......most of us are just too quick to make judgements about others and stuff we don't like the look of .....

Yes totally agree Andy, all Dads would do well to learn from those lyrics.
