I just thought that I should post something in case you started to believe that I had died,and began pestering my wife for my “gear”
In fact, I’ve been rather busy what with some unexpected pearlcasting, supervising the builders ( you’d think that they had never had to build a simple mausoleum in a suburban back garden before !), and enjoying a little sunshine. None of which has occasioned a visit from the muse.
Anyway. Where was I again ?
Ah yes – Awards.
It’s been a bad 12 months for me, I’m afraid. Missed out again on Rear of the Year despite a shed load of testimonials, including some from readers of this blog, averring that I am a complete arsehole. And then, only the other week, the disappointment of the Bad Sex Awards where I was shortlisted (sic) for The Lifetime Achievement award but lost out to a panda.
However.
Point is.
I heard a wee whisper that The New Year List will finally contain Sir Slowhand. Apparently his rather odd political views have been held against him in the past and it may seem a bit of a comedown for someone who was deified in 1964, but – Elton John, Tom Jones come on !
That is two lots of good news. Clapton's not dead and you're gong to get a gong.
ReplyDeleteThis whisky's going down a treat.
Happy Chrismuss...
:-)
Good to hear you're back in training !
DeleteDoes no bugger read this blog when they're sober ?!
Well, congratulations on getting shortlisted at least. Although in that category, I'm not sure whether coming first is a good thing or not.
ReplyDeleteRe Allmans, was it you that pointed out this soul/southern boogie crossover in the first place? My memory's shocking. If it wasn't - and just in case it's interesting - then here's Wilson & Duane doing their respective things. :)

Wisnaeme ( little legal expression there !) Although with my memory.........
DeleteSee what you mean. cf Booker T and the MGs and Cropper/dunne playing on all the great Stax/Volt classics, the original Blues Brothers movie, and some Little Feat
Delaney and Bonnie ? SRV/Superstition ? Or have I taken that too far ?

ReplyDeleteThat comment was removed by the author- and indeed created initially by the author - for reasons known only to the grape and the grain. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteOn a more positive note, here's something rather good by a chap whose name sounds like he could be in Coronation Street: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YVGCrLpDAI
Unfortunately my Spectrum ZX doesn't seem to be able to open that link.
DeleteBut I'm intrigued. Who could it be ?
Gary Barlow ? Elvin Bishop ? Stevie Ray Duckworth ? or even Hilda Ogden's Nut Gone Flake ?
(I may have taken that too far !)
After those, I wish it was funnier than Tinsley Ellis. ;) "A Quitter Never Wins" to be precise.
