When I was a youngster my parents bought me a pair of braces to hold up my new trousers. Of course these were 'Trousers to grow into' and without such support I would have been running around bare arsed. The braces were blue and had pictures of planets and rockets and, in the box, was a genuine ticket to the Moon.
I know, because it said so.

Late night music
After yesterday's post I felt I just had to remind myself what a real rock-music video should be like :)
Dave, I do like a bit of thump now and again, and the crap video made me smile. What do I listen to for quiet? Audio books, I'm an addict. I'm currently listening to Tom Sharpe's Riotous Assembly. It's not much use for getting to sleep though, it's too funny.
Nobbly, I don't know 'Blues for Greeny' that's one to look up. I've seen Gary Moore a few times, way back, in the Gary Moore Band and later in Skid Row. A good guitarist, but he can become a bit 'samey' after a while.
Stevie Ray Vaughn is pretty much the same - a shit-hot guitarist, but towards the end of an album you're starting to lose interest, no matter how good it was at the start.
If that's late night music, what do you listen to for quiet before sleep?
ReplyDeleteGary Moore - great guitarist.
ReplyDeleteSomewhere I have a copy of his 'Blues for Greeny' album - a Peter Green tribute. I must look it out.

I know what you mean about 'samey'.

That's why it's great these days to be able to 'pick-n-mix' without having to wind tapes or flip vinyl.
