Bryan,
Great show last night. kd lang AND Jethro Tull! Pure dead brilliant, BTW.

P.S. Pudsey and I should read Pudsey and me.
Still, you're smarter than the average bear.........


P.P.S. My therapist is gonna earn her money this week.............

I never learn - I really should give more details when requesting songs of which there is more than one version. The version of "Barefoot" I like best is the simpler, less-orchestrated arrangement or the live version as a second choice but...because I don't want to seem churlish...the version that was played was still very beautiful and well worth a fiver.

I'll take the comment about all k d lang songs I request being shoo-ins (which isn't true) because I'm very pleased when they are played.

P.S. I'm not a huge fan but I really enjoyed Jethro Tull.

Julie - maybe you can help. I only know Barefoot from the live by request and Unplugged Vol 1 albums. Where is there a studio version?

Cheers

Norrie

Not sure - the version I like most is on youtube and seems to be a video version, perhaps from the soundtrack of Salmonberries. I like the Live by request version too but do prefer the sparest version.

Thanks Julie.

Julie,
You know I was teasing!
I'm happy to support your kd lang songs.
Some evenings I prefer your requests to mine!!

(I draw the line at Girls Aloud)

Scotch - I even went to see S Club 7 once (on the pretext of accompanying my daughter who was about 8 at the time of course) and had a great time. I really must get out more - roll on the Steve Forbert gig.

You still planning to go Miss Julie? Cue remarks.....white carnation....paper under arm.....etc.?

I was once at an East 17/Peter Andre concert with my daughter.

Steve Forbert's got a funny voice.

A funny voice? Seriously? Off to check my Steve Forbert albums.......

I've got The American In Me (so to speak).

Perhaps it's a defective copy.

Glen,

That is a good Steve Forbert album, Streets of This Town would be my starting point but it is not unrepresentatvie. Julie may be more authoritative than me of course!

Worthy of further listening i think....

Right so - I'll pledge £100 to be allowed to play producer for one show over Christmas.

Another £50 for choosing the theme; almost certainly going to be:
Twisted/Improbable cover versions; the kind where fans of original and covering artiste are amazed and appalled. Like:

Richard Thompson's cover of Oops! I Did it Again
Hayseed Dixie: Walk This Way
Scissor Sisters: Comfortably Numb
Vic Reeves & Giorgio Moroder: Black Night
White Stripes: Jolene
The Delgados: Mr Blue Sky
(etc)

Norrie - yes I think I'll take my daughter along - she really enjoyed the show at The Tron a couple of years back (although her ideal would to see the Jonas Brothers at the moment). We wanted to go to The Guillemots' gig this week but it clashes with the prelims so Steve should make up for that disappointment (cue more comments about The Guillemots' lead singer!).

Yes Steve does have a funny voice but I like it. I don't actually have many of his albums - only Alive on Arrival (his forst and probably my favourite), Streets of This Town, Rockinghorse Head, Here's Your Pizza (which he signed for me) and Any Old Time (the Jimmie Rogers Tribute for which he was Grammy nominated). Seen him in concert about three times and he's a very personable character who's written some pretty good songs.

It's good he's getting work after Pinky and Perky broke up.
