Richard Hawley - Born Under A Bad Sign

FRIDAY


Dear, dear Alison. How are you? As lovely as ever, no doubt!

I don't know if you are familiar with this wee Country song, but I urge you to check it out.


'Lucky Me' - Mindy McCready


Dunno why this wasn't a hit. It's pure dead brilliant, so it is!

Lucky Stars - Dean Friedman

Lucky Number - Lene Lovich

Luck Be A Lady Tonight - Frank Sinatra

Gaie Brown!!

Marvel the sound of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers as Mrs Boss shocks us all with the quality of her solo work:

Patti Scialfa - Lucky Girl

Gasp as Mr Patti Scialfa becomes philosophical:

"When it comes to luck you make your own"

Bruce Springsteen - Lucky Town

The Verve - Lucky Man, for Scotch Git ☺

Or just go for the main man anyway:

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - You Got Lucky

You've got to ask yourself one question. Do i feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

Another chance to hear
Some guys have all the luck / The Persuaders
Poorly covered in comparison by many others.

And a northern soul gem
Lucky Number / Ronnie McNeir
Might be a bit hard to find but well worth it if you can.

Vanessa De Mata & Ben Harper - Boa Sorte (Good Luck)

Blood, Sweat and Tears Spinning Wheel

Joan Armatrading - I'm Lucky

#4 - I really like that, Norrie. And how about Mike's hair!


Missed much of tonight's show since pals off to see EC at the SECC were here for their T.

Previously on the blog: Mr Git, many of the Greenock Broons are indeed chubby, but I am not a Broon, a Brown or any actual relation. I am cut the the core that you should think so. Still, you weren't to know that so don't please be any more dejected than you already are. I'm sure Alison will cheer you up by playing Lucky Motive Breath.

Stay Lucky - The Gaslight Anthem
Good Luck - Basement Jaxx
A Lucky Loser - James Carr
I Feel Lucky - Mary-Chapin Carpenter

James Carr is my prefrence, huge 2nd for the Persuaders, Paulo.

"They say I shot a man named Gray and took his wife to Italy,
She inherited a million bucks and when she died it came to me.
I can't help it if I'm lucky."

Sleeve notes written by yours truly.

J.O'B.

Hit and Miss - John Barry Seven

Easy one:
* Emerson Lake & Palmer -
with possibly the best synth solo in popular music

* The Proclaimers - Then I Met You
is pretty lucky I'd say

You'd be lucky to get away with this kind of behaviour
* The Beatles - Why Don't We Do It In The Road

* The Saw Doctors - Will It Ever Stop Raining?
inspires a thought of "Just My Luck"

But of course Luck can be fixed, and if you don't pay attention, you're all on the wrong side of it. If you can find it in the archives, then this is just amazingly great:
* Phil Harris -

He could be curator of GoMA. He wouldn't have far to go and being sighted doesn't appear to be a requirement.

#64

What would happen to the ´óÏó´«Ã½ in an independent Scotland?

#65

?!? We're leaving the EU?

How did your girl do tonight Scotch?

#67

Adam,

I didn't hear my name being mentioned, but it's maybe just as well.

I can't take too much excitement at my age...

As for the show, I thought it a game of two halves.

I won't divulge which one I preferred.

I would be sure to offend someone.

Surfing at Barra da Tijuca in the paper today, Adam.

We should be telt!

Yes, its the Women's Billabong Rio Pro. Poured with rain most of the day today though. Luckily my mankini has a hood.

That'll keep the sand out.
