Musical Education

[pigafetta]

Dumpy's Rusty Nuts! Are they still going? I'd forgotten about them. I saw them in Buckley years ago and my mate sneaked into the dressing room and nicked Dumpys sausage and chips.

My kids are growing up on Pavement, The Silver Jews, The Danielson Famile, Sonic Youth, Richmond Fontaine, alternative American stuff. I often dig the vinyl out though, and subject everyone to Jethro Tull, Yes, Hawkwind, Gong, Harry Chapin, Tom Waits, the music of my youth. A lot of it sounds a bit cheesey these days but you've gotta love it.

Yep Dumpy's still going strong, bumped into him at Red Marley but didn't nick his chips. Back to musical education, try some Stevie Ray Vaughn, early ZZ Top, Rory Gallagher and Alabama 3 for starters although any Blues/Rock will do. On a seperate note, Hi to all from one of your latest recruits although nothings on the road at the moment due to lack of job and cash for quite a while, but things are getting better. The bikes that are lurking in the garage in varied stages of completion are a 950 Guzzi which I've had for 25 years, a Morini framed GN400, and an Aprilia RS125 that I'm shoehorning a 650 Pegaso lump into, will post some pics on the project pages when I get around to it.
Cheers Jez

Jez - Pegaso/RS sounds cool, post some pics. Is the Pegaso engine the BMW or Rotax lump (can never remember). As for music, it's an eclectic selection including:

New Model Army
The Smiths
Madness
New Order
The Clash
Dandy Warhols
Manics
Bon Jovi
The Feeling
Johnny Cash
Marty Robbins - any else heard him???

Pantera

Killswitch Engage

Sepultura

and finally some Machinehead and everything will get a bit more fun :D

Machinehead - not one of the best Deep Purple albums but not bad...

Oh and he will have to love Solstice (UK version from the 80s / 90s not the US lot) being as I part funded their album and then the b*****s did not pay me back - and thus ended my musical promotion business, oh and my house deposit.  Possibly the most expensive album I have ever bought! (Possibly!!!! nope definitly!)  And it still did not have all the songs I loved best on it.  Bitter?  ME!?  Nah not really.
