Trying to see a way of fitting in `Hot Legs`. They`re on a run at the mo.

And Paolo, who`s this Lloyd in Edinburgh who half-inched your Wandrin Star idea, eh?

#25

I know, after all that effort I never did get credited with Witchita Lineman either, although the blog got a fair crack at the whip, so it's fair enough.

Todd Rundgren - Can We Still Be Friends

Bryan Ferry
'Girl Of My Best Friend'

BF is a closet Elvis impersonator at times.

#24

Is this another from the composer of She, Loves You?

A Long, Long, Long Time Ago: The Proclaimers (History, is a friend of mine...)
My Old Friend The Blues: Steve Earle

* Fairport Convention -
Excellent song about friendship over the years

The Saw Doctors have quite a few songs about teenage (and later) friendships
* The Saw Doctors -
* The Saw Doctors -
* The Saw Doctors -
This last one not about romantic love at all...

You just beat me to it Mike!Maybe its because I got my bus pass last year but the words to Simon and Garfunkel's "Old Friends/Bookends"have a resonance now strangely absent in 1968 when I first heard this most bittersweet and pessimistic of "friend" songs .The evocative lyrics send a shiver of what may lie ahead as I check out my sensible footwear, as in "the round toes of the high shoes of the old friends"!I see in todays Herald Paul Simon's new album is getting a rave review and he's no spring chicken and on a similar note there is the astonishing news that the legendary Annie Ross is appearing at Oran Mor at the ripe old age of 81!How terribly strange to be 61! I feel like teenager now!:o)Cheers, Willie Bartke

I was 21 when I bought Bookends. Now it's like an old friend.

Yeah and presumably its not just the Winters that are hazy these days.

#38,39,I Wiki'd it and discovered that it was conceived as a concept album(how quaint)on age ,begining with "Save the Life of my Child" and so on.Side 2 apparently consisted of outtakes from the "Mrs Robinson"soundtrack.Ah those were the days when I'd be singing "Hey You,Get off of my Cloud",now its "Hey You, Get off of my Parkbench"!:o)Cheers ,Willie Bartke

Heaven holds a place for those who're grey

We didn't have a record player in our house until I bought the standard 1970 budget hi fi system (Garrard SP25 etc.). Until then I'd been taping from the radio (pre-FM). Bookends was one of the first ones I bought. It was then I discovered pop music included bass and cymbals.

#10,Henri,I saw Arrival at the Greens Playhouse early 70s as a support act for....I've forgotten!I loved "Friends" and "I Will Survive" and remember they did a great live version of Aretha's "With Every Thing I Feel in Me"which by her is unbelievable and unfortunately unobtainable now so far as I can see.Also bought Delaney and Bonnie's "I'm Comin Home"and remember the b side was "Superstar (Groupie Girl)which was sanitized a bit for the Carpenters"sleep with you"became "be with you".Nonetheless,I love the Carpenters cover.Cheers, Willie Bartke

Hey, let's not forget that and is accepting requests thataway (just like & do).

Bryan's also a new Twit convert, but no word on whether he's taking requests that way.

#40 #41
Growing old is better than the alternative

#43

For the programme?

A huge second for Scotch Git's shout for "Two Little Boys".

The ultimate good chums song (I do feel for the horses though).

#44

Paolo,

Auntie Janice looks younger than my granddaughter. (see #43). She must have a picture in the attic...

#46

Adam,

Alison's too wide tae fa' furr yon. She's diggin' oot Bonnie Raitt even as we type...

WEDNESDAY


Whit aboot man's best friend?

'Ulysees' - Jake Thackray ~ Ulysees is a dug.

That's two nights in a row my shouts have gone uncredited. Alison keeps up her 100% record - I finally get some Clapton played... Oh well.

I must have done something to offfend this lot.

Still, Arrival beckons but the team don't know it. 'Friends' was a big hit late 69, very radio friendly, great singing, worth finding, Miss Babs.

#42 Great memory, Willie. Wish I'd seen them, I can almost rmeber who the were backing... it'll come to me.. ther's an 'Apollo' site, but can't remeber if it includes gigs at Green's.

#50

Henri,

See #32


>8-D

Calm down Henri....your moment is not far away! I've found it.

Scotch and Senga were right enough ..I take all back! It wasn't Witchita Lineman - it was I'm a Man... i should listen more carefully.. i did get credited after all. Paranoia over. Normal blogging resumed.

Ooh personal attention Mr H.
How many banana loaves was that?

Scotch I've arrived in Perth for Mozz - forgot to pick you up. Sorry.....

#54

I know he's even had the audacity in the past to suggest some have BB's ear!

#56

Well clearly HH has PB's stomach.

#54/56

Steady men...no banana loaves involved. Your mixing me up with JfE who ran off with the show's guidelines.

#55 was that Mozz gig in Perth tonight? I'd quite fancied that, just out of curiosity - no hot dogs tonight, I've read.
