the Bathing platform at the back, instead of a liferaft I can have a whopping great amp ... Allman Bros Live at Fillimore East and Rory Gallagher Irish tour also rediscovered at Christmas ..
Aha. On the First 47.7 I went to Cork on, they had two cockpit speakers forwrad in the wheel well, hooked up to a 12 stack system. Just blasted it non stop all the way there till the old git said it's 21.00 can we turn it off now(well I am entitled to a little peace and quiet!).
Used to be a disciple, not heard em for some time now.
Came back from Cork with Wilson Picketts' 'Mustang Sally' etched firmly in the brain!
Saw Peter Green in concert last month, very odd, his voice is gone, has a range of about half an octave, but despite this, when he sang those 4 notes he made the other guys in the band sound rubbish.
As for the guitar, he spent the first 5 minutes looking at it as if not sure which end to blow in, then suddenly started playing, why don't I sound like that? Clearly my guitar is broken (it couldn't be anything to do with talent, could it? /forums/images/icons/frown.gif)
I do assume we are talking about the real Fleetwood Mac by the way, not that Rumours crap
Absolutely!! Although having said that Ilet slip that I listen to FWMc at sea and a well meaning new crew brought along FWMc greatest hits tape but I have to admit that after a few beers I was begining to fall in "love" with those women --------TUSKA!! ---THUNDER!! AHHHHHH. Ashamed to say I had a copy of that tape . Now where did I put it MMMMMMMMM.
Get a CD-MP3 player and a tape converter and use your CDR to put twelve albums on every CD - take all your music to sea with you. You can use it in the car as well.
Or - if you are planning to fit a new car radio/CD, why not the Goodmans GCE7340 with MP3 playback? £140 in Argos, but was on offer in MAKRO for just £80 + VAT a while back - wish I'd bought one . . .
Of course, you will only be copying CDs you have bought yourself, for back-up purposes . . .
You can tell we're all of an age here - the musical tastes are worryingly similar...
I finally got a decent rock band together at tender age of 40, way past the point when the kids are interested in anything other than karaoke pretty-pretties (no offence intended, if any such post on here). Nice to know we may have a hitherto untapped market right here on ybw.com though hehe
Sailing and rock music - yeah, two of the great passions in life.
Mind you, a bit of the old Mendelsohn is pretty appropriate on occasion too.
I think thats one of the major benefits of getting older .. you can listen to whatever music you like without worrying whether its cool or not, it certainly gives you music for a few more moods. BTW the best concert I ever went to was Rory Gallagher at the Glasgow Apollo in '73 ... "A Million Miles away " still gets the air guitar going!
As a forty something, I love to get going with the title track from Pulp Fiction, then relax to Nico of Velvet Underground singing 'Sunday Morning', then some old Blues classics, and a few well chosen classical pieces
We could do a Desert Island Discs, top ten you would take with you, along with the luxury item. Personally I'd use the Bible as fire lighting material
If I had one nomination for the disc it would be between Shine On You Crazy Diamond by the Floyd or Baba O'Riley by the Who ... I'd probably go for Baba O'Riley ..
