JOAN BAEZ

This is one of those songs that had completely SLIPPED my mind until I heard it again the other day.

Absolutely brilliant Surferboy. I don't think she will win especially with your tipping record but I bet she will make a nice living in the future. I admire her guts and her voice and wish her luck

I must admit though I kept expecting her teeth to come flying out.

Britains Got Talent and Janeys in the final. Current odds to win 10/1 seem generous.

A thought from Ally Ross on the Eurvision Song Contest:-

"In a PC world gone mad eurovision remains the one place it's perfectly okay to laugh at foreigners"

Turkey is great for Xmas Surfer!

I thought you would put up your own country Fez i.e Turkey. Great for a belly dance down the casbah.

>CLICK HERE

Didn't think much of that Surfer but then for me there has been very few really great songs come out of the Euro contest.

How about this for an oldie. It's Patsy Cline but is she CRAZY?

Here's the EUROVISION SONG CONTEST winner from GERMANY. I found it strange that although they won by a runaway score Israel did'nt give them one point. Why was that?

AND IT'S NEVER "TOO LATE" FOR A BIT OF STEVIE WONDER.

Aren't the turtles racing this year Surferboy? Here's an odd Turtle fact for you:-

One type of turtle possesses an extraordinary organ that allows it to breathe underwater and stay submerged for many months.

The common musk turtle has a tiny tongue lined with specialised buds, scientists have discovered.

Rather than use this tongue for eating, the turtles use it to exchange oxygen, solving a mystery of how these reptiles can remain submerged for so long.

Celebrate World Turtle Day.

Turtles are one of the most endearing and symbolic of America's native wildlife. Turtles not only fascinate each passing generation of children, who find endless wonders under those hard shells, but they also continue to serve as a timeless role model in children's literature: the slow and steady turtle, whose patient progress always wins out against his fast but feckless competitor.

Yet the turtles' lofty status hasn't prevented humans from abusing the creature. In fact, all land, freshwater, and sea turtles are facing imminent threats to their survival, simply because of human activities. Turtles are the reptile most affected by the pet trade, not to mention the food and traditional medicine industries. Many turtle species also suffer from the effects of pollution as well as from the destructive effects of industrial fishing operations.

Despite these hardships, May is a busy month for turtles. Many have recently emerged from winter hibernation and are beginning their search for mates and nesting areas. For this reason, May 23 was designated World Turtle Day.

The purpose of World Turtle Day, May 23, sponsored yearly since 2000 by American Tortoise Rescue, is to bring attention to, and increase knowledge of and respect for, turtles and tortoises, and encourage human action to help them survive and thrive.

Great Sleep Song | Reviewer: Ken | 1/11/2008

When my daughter was small she had trouble getting to sleep so I would hold her in my arms and sing this song to her about 6 times. By the middle of the sixth, she would be out. I love this song because it is so "Brian Wilson' - great vocal - lazy song - puts you right in the mood. At this stage there was still hope that Brian could put it all together and start producing the Beach Boys again. I've always felt that he should have released "Smile" back in 1967 as a solo album - it may have saved him from years of problems and gotten the rest of the band in line.

Surferboy, that has to be worst video clip I've ever seen. Well done!

Don't forget your 5 a day.

Wow, what a good picture of Baldesphere, the outermost planet of cranium. It's been proved that it exists close to a black hole, but still mages to evolve. It was only dicovered just over 60 years ago, but has given us a lot of information through the ether(net) over the last few years. It has even been said to have been a keystone of the creation of the recently discorvered HoS system! The world community is waiting with abated breath for new discoveries that it may give us in the future.

They've even wrote a song to celbrate the planets, (Thanks to 'Vangelis, Heaven And Hell') >HERE< from the TV series COSMOS

What planet is that. I can't see any sign of life.

Nah, but don't put your hand on it without wearing gloves or you might burn your hand.

Will i need my sunglasses to shade the suns reflections from your bald spot, Fez?

We are supposedly getting some sunshine this weekend with rising temperatures. i'll have to get the shorts and string vest out oh and the knotted hankie for my ever enlarging baldspot.

Aliens, the title of Wonders of the Universe this week reminded me of THIS number.

Lets have some more then. The sun gives you a totally different outlook on the day.

You're right Surfer but I didn't think much of the song.

The girls on the till at ASDA don't look anything like these lovelys SB.

Nice music though!

A bit more of Goldfrapp to liven up the day. I think the lads will appreciate the tiller girls!

>CLICKHERE

A lovely song "Bluebirds Over The Mountain."

CLICK HERE>

I remember the song Surferboy but not the singer himself.

This poor chap passed away this week, Alex Chilton. A classic pop hit from years gone by.

>CLICK HERE

I heard this on the radio yesterday. I've never heard of the singer but she seems to have a great distinctive voice. This is only a short clip from her latest so if anyone can find the full version please put a link to it on here.

Here she is folks NELL BRYDEN

On a very different note, do you remember Marian Ryan yes that's her in the picture. She didn't have a great voice but seemed to find favour with tv audiences. Here's "CRY ME A RIVER"

Then there were her sons Paul and Barry, THIS is a pretty poor quality clip but even in high definition they would be pretty bad Though Barry did go on to do ELOISE which is pretty good.

Nice one Surferboy. Listening to others on the link now. Very pleasant half hour to come. I have now worked out how to listen whilst still using the computer for other things. each day this box gives me something new to enjoy. Especially with your leads. Listening to 'Words' now. That is one beautiful song.

That's right Meldrew, Arnold Gerry Dorsey. He lived in higher Broughton at the time. George I did'nt see you as a rock concert goer. Pity you did'nt get an autograph of Jimmy Hendrix. That would be worth a few bob these days.

So here's todays record on the same theme.

>CLICK HERE

Wasn't Engelbert Humperdinck known as Gerry Dorsey in those days GeorgeP. I seem to remember seeing him Sunday Night at The London Palladium as Gerry in the mid 60s.

Hi Surferboy,

Your `post` of  9th March took me back to the mid 60s ,when Kathleen and I went along to the Odeon Cinema to see THE WALKER BROS IN CONCERT.

Enjoyed the first half performance which featured Engelberg Humperdick and also Jimmy Hendrix.

Near the end of the interval the `compere`thought he would build up the audience for the main act and asked  each of the Bros to tap the drawn curtains to show they were waiting to perform.

Amid the screams and turmoil ----I  just had to walk away-----

George P.

Good that means my bank balance will be improving. Here's the new single from my favourite British band Goldfrapp called "Rocket."

There's been some smashing programmes about space and the universe on BBC this week. Don't miss local lad Brian Cox in part 2 of his new science series on BBC sunday night.

>CLICK HERE This rocks!!!!!!!

45 years ago Surferboy, I can't believe it, but you are right it is a great song.

Going back to you mentioning at the committee meeting that you still prefer VCR tapes to DVD. I was reading a bit in the paper on monday stating that Vinyl records and cassette tapes are making a comeback while the sale of CDs is falling.

HEAVEN ON BBC FOUR TONIGHT>>>>A BEACH BOYS NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today, 21:00 on BBC Four

Synopsis

Dennis Wilson was the drummer in the Beach Boys. And he was the real Beach Boy. In a band of geeks who sang about surfing, cars and girls, Dennis was the only one who surfed, the one who drove hot rod cars in competition and the one who got all the girls.

He was married five times, shared a house with Charles Manson (with whom he wrote songs, including one recorded by the Beach Boys) but died, ironically by drowning, at the age of 39. He was also the first Beach Boy to release a solo album, the stunning Pacific Ocean Blue, which after years of being out of print and fetching hundreds on Ebay, was re-released in 2009 to widespread acclaim, being voted No 1 Reissue of the Year by Mojo and Uncut magazines.

This documentary tells the story of Dennis's life and music, with unseen archive footage and original interviews with Beach Boys Al Jardine and David Marks, his sons Michael and Carl and many friends and fellow musicians. These include Taylor Hawkins, drummer with the Foo Fighters who provided a vocal for the lost track on Pacific Ocean Blue, Holy Man, for which Dennis never laid down a vocal when he recorded the song in 1977.

Plus a Pet Sounds concert;

I enjoyed Julie Rogers Surferboy. Funny how we forget many of those good songs.

Very evocative SB.

Pity my ex-wife was a lieing, cheating adultress who took pleasure in hurting people (and still does).

Pity my lovely deceased partner, Janice, never got me to the alter before she died. I was intending to marry her, just never got the opportunity to put my plan in to practice.

Never realised that was Fred Fielder Surferboy. I know we've had THIS one before but I heard it this morning and it always strikes a note with me.

R.I.P Doug Fielder passed away the 14th. This was the biggest hit of 79.

And a rather macabre report from last year. I don't know if it sold or not!

The son of iconic '50s rock n' roller The Big Bopper has said he plans to sell his late father's casket - which he was buried in for 48 years - on eBay in the next few weeks.

The Big Bopper, real name JP Richardson, died along with Buddy Holly and Richie Valens in a plane crash in 1959. The accident has since become known as "the day the music died" after Don McLean recalled the incident in his massive-selling 1972 US Number One 'American Pie'.

The 16-gauge steel casket was exhumed from its original resting place in 2007, because Richardson's son wanted to move his father to a more visible location, reports The Beaumont Enterprise.

"I have no personal use for the casket," Richardson said. "When you get down to it, it is just a metal box. More important is what this particular metal box represents.

"In another 200 years, will people care about rock 'n' roll?" he continued. "Who knows? But why would I want to destroy it? Even though it was dad's resting place for 48 years, it's also a unique opportunity to learn more about the early years of rock 'n' roll."

Richardson, who was born three months after his father's death, said he saw his body for the first time in person after it was exhumed. Buried in a black suit with a blue-and-grey striped tie and socks, the Big Bopper's thick, brown hair was reportedly still in perfect condition. He has since been reburied in a new casket.

Richardson says he plans to use the money raised from the eBay auction to fund a musical show about his father.

Here's another old CWAZY favourite  >CLICK HERE

Hi surferboy. Thank you. I am having a great time to-night. I started off with Indian Love Call, then I went on to Rose Marie, and now I'm listening to I remember you. I tried to get Cool Water but then the link disappeared and then I tried to get the Red River Valley but something has happened to that to but I shall persist. I have learnt now how to have my music and my Hearts at the same time, I just drop it down below- brilliant. I was sad about Red River Valley because I'd forgotten about it but that brought back memories of my schooldays and when it rained we had to sit in classroom and natter but we didn't we used to harmonise together - and we were good- and our favourite was Red river valley closely followed by In Apple Blossom time. Thanks for the memory. I have to find out how you get Red River Valley because, after much persuasion from Willow, better known at school as 'Little Lulu', two of the girls from that old gang have got themselves computers and I want to send them the link. (We must have a reunion)I have really enjoyed that to-night as I have been pretty glum having to stay in and not getting my fix of my music. Keep up the good work. You do well.

OK Slim, We get your message.

From BBC NEWS PAGE;

Remember the cassette? Mix tapes and mangled favourites in the car stereo? It's back. As an art object.

In 1989 Britain was a nation in love with the pre-recorded cassette. We bought 83 million that year. It was the peak of the little plastic music box's popularity.

Twenty years on, you would be forgiven for imagining the format was all but dead. The British Phonographic Institute says just 8,443 were sold in 2009.

But that number hides a new trend. In a digital age artists are turning to the cassette as an intriguing and challenging format - a ready-made frame for sound art.

In London, a tiny label called The Tapeworm has been quietly producing cassette-only releases since last summer, each one limited to 250 copies. Most have sold out.

"We do not view this as a dead format," says The Tapeworm's Philip Marshall. "We do not view this as something which does not have a place right now.

It's actually the beginning of a resurgence of older technology in the same way they got rid of vinyl records and now they're are selling more again."

Which is good news for me as I've got hundreds of them. You do see rare ones selling in Record Collector magazine for hundreds of pounds.

Anyway here's todays record....>CLICK HERE to liven you up! complete with hurdy gurdy

This is for those who like a tot of whisky to help us on our way. Click JAR

This seems a bit approprate for New years Eve but I do wonder if they tied JOE COCKERS hands to his sides would he still be able to sing. All the best everyone.

Their hips seem to 'shimmy' in the same way that my car has been in the recent snow falls.

Do these ladies come with traction control?

I particularly jike them when they are doing something with a gaelic air, you'll know the sort of thing I mean but the I like that sort of thing generally, but this stuff is great for the season

They bring butterflies to my stomach everytime i see and hear them. I have two of their DVD's, bought after watching them on YouTube. I would love to see them in concert, but they seem to have deserted us for the USA. Pah!

Here's Lisa Kelly singing 'THE CHRISTMAS SONG' ... delicious!

More Celtic Woman DING DONG

Luv 'em, just luv them Fez.

Doris Day also has a silky smooth voice and is always wonderful to listen to.

Maybe i'm soft at heart really, but here's WHITE CHRISTMAS by my favourites, Celtic Woman.

Yes she is good Surferboy. HERE'S another Celtic woman treat for you Sparky. One more Sparky, THIS is probably the first carol we ever learned the words to as kids

Here's a more traditional singer who still gives me goosebumps on listening.

Enchanting ........ gorgeous ......... melting ........ thought provoking ........ lovely.

Guns N' Roses star Slash has paid tribute to guitar pioneer Les Paul, who has died aged 94 last week, calling him "vibrant and full of positive energy".

Paul died from complications of pneumonia in New York, according to Gibson, the firm that sold his guitars.

Paul is credited with developing one of the first solid-body electric guitars, which went on sale in 1952 and contributed to the birth of rock.

He also developed other influential recording innovations such as multi-track recording, overdubbing and the eight-track tape recorder.

Paul was also a successful performer in his own right, notching up 11 number one singles and 36 gold discs with his wife Mary Ford.

He was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1978 and the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.

Campbell was in great demand as a session musician in the 1960s. He was part of the famous studio musicians clique known as "The Wrecking Crew," many of whom went from session to session together as the same group. In addition to Campbell, Hal Blaine on drums, Leon Russell on piano, Carol Kaye on bass guitar, and Al Casey on guitar were part of this elite group of session musicians that defined many pop and rock recordings of the era. They were also heard on Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound" recordings in the early 1960s.

He was a touring member of The Beach Boys, filling in for Brian Wilson in 1964 and 1965. He played guitar on the group's Pet Sounds album, among other recordings. On tour, he played bass guitar and sang falsetto harmonies.
