Very sad news about Denny Laine. A hugely talented singer, musician and songwriter. A UK No.1 with Moody Blues, founding Wings and this, one of his greats, as sung by Colin Blunstone is a pretty huge legacy by any means. RiP youtube.com/watch?v=LsdBXJ…

I just had a bit of a chat with The Guvnor, I first had to prove my credentials with him by identifying Tim Turner’s Narration in a photo. He managed to sell me some merch as well #starstruck #albionchristmasband

And it’s a happy Christmas from Santa’s Little Helper and us 🎄

youtube.com/watch?v=8rDirn… I've not heard this before, a 1988 recording of Gary Usher talking about his time with The Byrds. It's in two parts. His memory of the departure of La Croz is a bit different to Croz's account. Enjoy.

With an image, what album have you played the most in your lifetime? It's probably this. Bought it, unheard, in 1980. It was a good investment.

Amazing sounds? 😁

youtu.be/yo6vqqBsxd0 Yours truly enjoying himself on Friday night. Japery, banter and even a few songs...

Here's one gone under the radar for too long...lovely 1971 record with superb Tony Visconti production and Dave Cousins, Danny Thompson & Ralph McTell. Well worth an earful.

youtube.com/watch?v=DB4Rrk… Yours truly, in recovery from a cold, in session at Hive 45 this morning. This song is 34 years old now and needed a decent recording. Thanks Jim.

youtube.com/watch?v=XeT4YY… ....and this song is brand spanking new (only finished last night). Thought I was going to come up with a cheery song about the local characters, failed.

When I say “best soundtrack of all time,” what is the first movie you think of?

What's an album you heard at age 15 that changed your brain chemistry? This has to be it.

Four records from your parents collection: The choir LP features at least my Dad and was recorded at 'that new place in Barnes' (Olympic). 'West Side Story' would have been my Mum's. The Seekers were great. Of all these though The Planets would have been the one I played most.

Ralph Vaughan Williams: Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis - Andrew Da... youtu.be/GpwqZSp_CyM?si… via YouTube RIP Andrew Davis. This is magnificent.

RIP Mike Pinder 1941-2024. #moodyblues

I’ve got a house full of ‘Full House’. Finally got the vinyl to match my sleeve (it’s actually the seven track pressing though)
