Music to make you groove.

Should play JB on loop in care homes, best exercise they could get.

Beats the  hokey cokey

If there anything like my relatives who had been in care homes, the right leg, left leg thing could be dangerous.

Do you still play/ which horn?

Yea, through the years in bands I played each (alto, tenor and Bari) as well as trombone.

 

Nowadays I only use the tenor.

Nice one, never had the time or confidence to play in a band. Didn't pick the sax up until later in life and only wanted to play the music I wanted to play.

I was watching Impossible the other day and Holland-Dozier-Holland were mentioned, which prompted me to find this playlist. 

 

It's rather good.

Hell of a playlist, however.

I so miss turntables and vinyl. I have mentioned before that my entire record collection was stolen by Daughters tramp of a boyfriend.

That was around 1989 when vinyl was on the wane.

So now I have Spotify and listening to music just isn't the same. No recreation of classics like What's Going On, excitement of new stuff coming out. Downloaded albums that I most probably won't play.

Put an album on, half way through a track jump to the next track, different album. 

I miss my music so much.

Go to a music bingo here on Friday nights, sex machine comes on and the body gets in the groove(though I ain't getting up and doing the Funky Penguin dance) it plays for 30ish seconds. Just fuck off streaming/downloads etc. Give me back my vinyl.

The birth of a true Diva. Saw her on the Empire but was more impressed with Jnr Walker that night.

You didnt mention the smell of vinyl. I can still remember the smell of vinyl when you walked into Edwards in Kenny.

There was something about the thrill of the chase, too. You'd read an interview in Smash Hits with someone saying they were influenced by the Velvet Underground, for example; you'd never heard anything by them, but you were intrigued. Then one day you'd find out that your mate's brother's mate had a copy of Velvet Underground and Nico, so you'd arrange to go round their house one day, specifically to pay homage to this sacred object (and to share the experience of hearing European Son for the first time).

 

Now you get instant gratification: as soon as you know a track exists you can listen to it.

 

As Dylan said "You give something up for everything you gain."

Me too.

She pissed me off that night with number of costume changes. She was the worst gig I ever saw and I saw George mcCrae and his bird.

This little stroll down memory lane makes me want to raise an overdue glass to the curator of the music section of Runcorn Shopping City Library in the early Eighties. In hindsight, their collection of blues albums was mighty impressive.

Yeah it was more of a show suited to a posh supper club. Having said that she could throw out a tune and knew how to milk and audience.
