Guy Talk....

Didn't Steve Miller get a backhanded compliment from Miles Davis?

People have mixed feelings about Klaus Voorman. But I really like the Walls And Bridges album that Klaus plays some very groovy bass on. For someone not associated with Black music grooves especially. I remember re-visiting this album recently, and unconsciously thinking it must have been a more vaunted 1970's session player - but it's the elfin-hippie Klaus I think the McCartney connection with Hendrix might be that Paulie was right there as a friend/Hendrix booster when Jimi first got to London.

What doesn't fit here? I can hardly imagine Miles/hendrix/Williams with Paul McCartney?????!!! on bass? WTF? Yes. Three masters of improvisation and Macca. Brilliant song-form bassist though he was. Then again, I really love the instrumentals on the 1970 McCartney album, the one he plays all the instruments on. So you never know?

So how did it go?

Macca and Miles. The mind boggles.

The rest of the session can be heard on the LP, Completely Forgotten.

The Byrds - Mr Tambourine Man....fusing Dylan with A Hard Days Night era Beatles jangly guitar.

Manfred Eicher

Bert Kampfert

Should The Doctor be arrested?

Just give it a bit more time. What's on their cups? Paul Anka?

The guys a hundred years old FFS. It's an achievement just being there. What's that old George Burns joke....? Q. Are you glad to be here? GB's At my age, I'm glad to be anywhere.

Just heard a BBC interview with Maya Angelou talking about Billy Holiday. Apparently they had a falling out over Holiday singing to Angelou's son, and some Adults Only content of the lyrics. Unfortunately the link is now defunct. Personally I love the BBC. Can't wait for the Ashes to start and the live Radio commentary from 'Test Match Special'! Plus that all that damn house buying rubbish, escape to whatever country, cameras next to police raiding chav estates/stopping speeders, Miss Marple/Poirot shows, Countdown/variants thereof and sex infection clinic documentaries. Is that awful 'weird bodies' show from the BBC? Yuk. That is scary.

Fuck You
