Just to illustrate band member "Dr. " Fink I guess, at least we can tell the figure is a doctor/surgeon with his mask and gown?
Ah, right. Didnt really spot he’s meant to be a doc. Ageing old phone and ever more ageing peepers!
Cheers
When i was in Memphis i had a photo with Rufus Thomas. Such a nice man.
Jackie McLean - Destination… Out!
I see that’s just out on Blue Note Classic, any good?
It’s a great album, despite being a bit short by current standards.
Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life.
Alabama 3 - Step 13.
More bonkers goodness from Alabama 3, and one of my three favourite albums from last year.
Teeny thread drift:
Finally nailed that elusive East End music venue, courtesy of a mate from that era, who is lucky enough to still have a functioning memory!
Twas the Tidal Basin Tavern, on Tidal Basin Road, off Silvertown Way.
It had a bit of a reputation as a roughhouse, and had the obligatory strippers on at lunchtimes, and live music a couple of evenings a week, Siouxsie and The Banshees playing one of their early gigs there.
We used to rock up on occasional weekday evenings between '79 / '82, when there would often be a sound system on.
Happy days.
A rather nice album of 70s style guitar and organ instrumental noodling from these Swiss chappies.
Caravan crossed with Atomic Rooster?
More instrumental guitar work. Jazz infused rock Norwegian style.
Excellent.
