Whatever turns you on!

That's disgusting!

I managed 58 seconds of the Wurlitzer before I slit my wrists. I bet no-one can better that!

Well if you liked that, try this

Thanks for caring. But I can only die once.
(It does look like a cracker of a wrist-slitting collection though).

I hope none of you end up in my position. My wife has early onset dementia and she wanted to go to a thing called a Memory Café this week. I ended up sitting in a room full of oldies singing along to that sort of music!
Our other outing this week was to a karaoke bar so I could sing Radiohead, Motorhead and Skynyrd numbers so you can guess how much fun I had at the Memory café.

Is that John Cooper Clarke ?

Hammond Showstoppers! God, remember the Hammond organ? I assume most of the tracks will have a bossa nova beat.

Billy Preston managed without one;

as did Jimmy Smith;

I reckon neither would be gracing that album though...

I assume that was an early dance album? Probably some early Fat Boy Slim and a few experimental Jules remixes sampling Marlene and The Settlers.[/QUOTE]



You learn something new every day on cyclechat.
Thought Settlers was is a indegestion tablet.

Mind bleach! Now!

Thank God! Just noticed on the inner sleeve of an old record I'm cleaning...

The glaring omission there is "Shape Up and Dance with Felicity Kendal"

A true classic and pride of place on my wife's record collection

A farking genius. His version of "I Do Like to be Beside the Seaside" is, imo, the standard by which all others are judged, a bit like Jimmy Shand's "Bluebell Polka" being the yardstick for that standard.

I had a mate who, whenever there was a disco (at a Wedding/private function/etc) would shout to the DJ "Have ya no got any Jimmy Shand?"

That was, until he came across a DJ who actually did - and we made him dance solo to the Bluebell Polka, while everyone else looked on, some with cameras

You're both wrong. It's a board game.

The glaring omission there is "Shape Up and Dance with Felicity Kendal"

She'd have to have travelled back in time. Wikipedia puts that as 15 years after Sgt Pepper's.

I reckon neither would be gracing that album though...

Closer perusal shows that it's actually Hammond Brothers who seem to have no connection to the organ company, but coincidentally do play the organ.

And they are still gigging!

Yus!

 

[Cycleops]

The New Sound of Victor Sylvester!

What's not to like?

I've got a pair of his trousers. Plenty of Ballroom.
