Last time I saw Rod perform was on tv with Tom Jones (long time ago) both were sat down and croaking in unison (Rod got his glasses out to read his lyrics...............) 😎

Talking loud and saying nothing? I worked the same gigs as EC on several occasions, mainly with John Mayall and also with Cream. On the Mayall front, the slant was very 'let's nick something from Mose Alison' which everyone was doing at that time (Tony Knights Chessmen anyone?/ G. Fame etc etc) Cream were very loud and too prog for my taste but again, there was a lot of it about? (I worked with Chris Squire - always thought he was more fun pre Mable Greer) What he's done since the dawn of rock, I neither know nor care. I have a copy of the CD with BB King, which gets the odd airing (as does my Mose Alison cd). I always enjoyed working with EC in the early days, he was a nice guy and good musician. ........... End of?

Had a few of these over the years (as you do) - The result is always the same .............. 😎

Emperors new clothes time? A lot of money to buy trackspace on an album that may or may not sell/produce any return......... I'll stick to premium bonds. 😎

Back in the stone age, Jack Jackson (remember him?) used to record his inserts on a Nagra in Corfu, where he was resident (I think) and air mail the tape back to the Maple Cross studio where his sons would add the music ready for the weekend BBC radio broadcast............... 😎

Nothing new - I was written off by some idiot kid on Exmoor in 2005, it took a lot of effort to get plod to even give it an incident number............ 😎

I'd cut their hands off - at the neck ............ 😎

In passing, talking of closed venues - does this ring any bells?

This does not bode well ............. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-53428307 😥

Any relation to the late Lee Dorsey? 😎

I wonder how many have got sheets of 'M Mouse' and 'A Capone' ? 😎

Thanks Ped, sent a screenshot in yesterday, nice to know it's not my machine. 😎

^ ^ ^ my pc won't download this ? 😎

If this is for 'the arts' - the usual suspects will get the lions share. This, as impressive as it sounds, won't even scratch the surface. 😎

Sex on Fire ? 😎

Most kit can be adapted for rack mounting, not always easy, but it can usually be done. 😎

It used to be called 'a race to the bottom' 😎

007 riddim ............ 😎

^ ^ ^ Hemel is the only place that I ever had a police escort out of after a gig ........ 😎

Nah - sell 'em and buy new ! 😎

One way of getting shot of old mics................. 😎

Yup, and live they cut 54 46 short (time issues) I wonder if that'll happen tonight? 😎

Devon Live : One of Exeter's most popular pubs has confirmed it is ready to reopen - but won't welcome customers back until it can be sure everybody is going to behave. The Prospect Inn on Exeter Quay fears 'Super Saturday' could be more like 'Black Eye Friday' due to the nation's pent-up longing for a pint. While it is finalising plans to get customers back through the door it won't do so until July 4 is out of the way. Instead the pub will wait until July 9 to reopen.

^ ^ ^ You are assuming that all pubs will play by the rules, irrespective of how many yobs turn up...... 😎

If I were still playing out, I would avoid the 4th July weekend like the plague (no pun intended) every idiot that ever there was is going to be off their heads at a venue near you (music or no) 😎
