Hey! You inspired me to take down my pop box. Three discs of Roy
Orbison, currently singing The Crowd, 48 songs altogether. Oh my God,
that is genuine blue collar longing, genuine emotion, nothing fake like
The Beatles, middle class boys pretending to be working class. Next out
of the box, behind the three Orbison discs, I grabbed this handful,
which are waiting on my side table:
a Chuck Berry (1) compilation cover disc from a magazine series we
designed, Fontella Bass No Ways Tired, Nat King Cole Let's Face the
Music, The Bonzo Dog Band.

Erk !!!!!

I did the sound for Viv Stanshall's band once.

Bloody lousy venue ( Student Union bar @ Trent Park IIRC ) with concrete beams in
the ceiling aiding the feedback.

It was something of a 'no-hope' gig esp. since Viv's band wanted me to mike an
upright piano in those circumstances.

Not often I've been in a situation where I'd have loved to simply walk away.
