| 799092 | 2009-08-07 13:49:00 | Queen, Led Zeppelin, Stones, Beatles, The Who, Pink Floyd, Bowie(70s) Elton john(70s), The Jam, Status Quo, Black Sabbath, U2, Uriah Heep, Ska Reggae, The list goes on. I sometimes wish I could get in a tardis & go back to the 70s back to London & all that underground music Gotta agree with you. Except I don't recollect ever hearing Ska Reggae. Didn't know that Uriah Heep were British. But I sure liked them when I was younger. Ken Hensley FTW! |

| 799093 | 2009-08-07 17:18:00 | Jethro Dull? Deep Purple? Ken Colyer's Jazzmen? The Vipers? The Zombies? As you can see - I like Brit Skiffle a bit. I have a tall stack promo-released to KRLA radio station here in SoCal - of John Lennon's Silver Beatles w/Peter Best on drums - all 45's of the same song. I'm saving that for another day. |

Ken Hensley FTW! The Specials, Madness, Buster Bloodvessel & the likes. The music they made was labeled Ska Uriah Heep were as far as I know poms. I remember seeing them at a local dive of my home town Crawley I'm off to Harvey Normans now to see if they've got any $5000 laptops going for $50 |

I sometimes wish I could get in a tardis & go back to the 70s back to London & all that underground music Interesting - back to the 1970s gosh that was only yesterday - hardly going back. Now going back means as somebody has already pointed out Ambrose and Billy Cotton. And how about Henry Halls guest night - I seem to remember he had his own orchestra. Most of those mentioned in the above quote mean nothing to me, in fact I've never heard of most of them! None can compare to Glenn Miller. A big band is a big band - not a small set of noise makers just producing a din, and utterly indecipherable vocals. Mind you for noise it took a lot to make more than Jack Parnell when he had his drum duets with his regular drummer. Those two were great fun and could make the drums talk. Still liked Lita Rosa better though. |
