Tickets To Waterfalls - jack bruce

Official confirmation from Pacific Quay that Billy MacKenzie is our small nation's greatest ever singer was an interesting proposition. It occured to me: there's a latent jack bruce fan just trying to come out of our hero.Forget the banana loaves, henri - Songs For a Tailor and Harmony Row from now on.Traditionally, Tickets To Waterfalls is what Wimbledon is all about.

Superb. Something else that's superb is Lovers Competition - James Carr

and of course Andy's Chest - Lou Reed

I commend these shouts to the blogotariat and our heroic production team.

Good show tonight - that Chaz Jankel track was awesome - since been on Spotify to listen to his new album 'The Submarine has Surfaced' - excellent, about to one click on that and a compilation album - soul boys like Paulo would enjoy it..

* George Harrison - Got My Mind SET on You

Will a Scotsman win Wimbledon? The sketch suggests
* The Assembly - Never Never and
* China Crisis - Wishful Thinking
but I think he'll be
* Emerson Lake & Palmer - Lucky Man

I know that this year they've had good weather (so far), but normal Wimbledon rules have to reassert themselves:

as they've only got a roof on one of the courts.

The blog takes lunch?

regardez youse

henri

(in the style of #39)

Bryan had a little blog
Which closed down for its lunch
Then the bloggers had a moan,
What an unhappy crowd

A Superstar long before Andy Warhol coined the phrase the aptly named Helen Wills Moody was a 1920s flappergirl tennis phenomenon going by the nickname "Little Miss Poker Face"due to the fact she rarely cracked a smile on court.Cue Lady Gaga (my guilty pleasure!).Tentative link here and I was going to suggest Nico's "Lawns of Dawns" from the weirdest album in my collection"The Marble Index" but she sounds like Marlena Deitreich on valium at the best of times so not really drivetime music! Lets hear it for Joni Mitchell's languid jazzy "Hissing Of Summer Lawns"Cheers Willie Bartke

Your first choice makes it clear that you are not a gentleman.

I unreservedly apologise for any unintentional offence caused to Ms Wade.

By way of apology I offer the following from a gentleman who is strongly linked with another leading British Lady Tennis Player and his Wee pal. No not Mr McCoist and Andy Cameron but:

Cliff "Serve and Volley" Richard and Van "Baseline Return" Morrison - Whenever God Shines His Light

Not one for Spoonerism sufferers.

ASH .... Burn Baby Burn
