And yet another new journal entry. This time for 24th March. Lots of reminiscing and three images attached. Enjoy!
Just seen that Gary Numan has listed Sunburst Finish in his list of 13 best albums of all time. Sorry if this has been mentioned, been out the loop in Florida.....😁
The paragraph about Lynne Holliday is so cinematic, it really takes the reader to the scene. I think of something like Singin' in the Rain.
For me one of the ultimate guitar solos has to be Scotty Moore's in Elvis Presley's 'Heartbreak Hotel' ... was there a particular solo of Scott Moore's that impressed you, Bill?
Is the version of 'At The Sign of the Swinging Cymbal' you heard, by Brian Fahey, on Parlophone, 1960? https://youtu.be/5BpQ_1RnolU
This version by Brass Incorporated sounds to me practically identical: https://youtu.be/33vc3U1X7co
Bill, autumn leaves mentioned in one of the Vulcan Street track titles. Is this influenced by the late Steve Conway? PS nice to be able to access the forum - very hit and miss the moment :(
Not sure who Steve Conway is, Roger, so, not influenced by him. Regarding your problems accessing the forum: I'm not involved with the technical side of things but you may find it useful to message Jon Wallinger about any troubles you're experiencing. He may be able to help.
Thanks Bill. Steve Conway was a favourite singer of both my parents. He died in 1951. Quite similar to Al Bowlly. Re Jon can we send PMs on this forum?
Hi Roger, There is a messaging facility...hit the little purple box at the bottom-right of your computer screen.
