FinnDave Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 There's only one right answer (though I could go and see if there is anyone else hiding in the kitchen!). Deaver was on the money, Jenny Haan it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingus Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Where is Betafunk? I seem to remember he has got a bit of a thing for that girl from Babe Ruth. I just hope he is prepared for what the ravages of time can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 One of the best parts of the story so far is that the rest of band seemed to think I was winding them up, or had spent too long over the road in my local. When she turned up on Thursday, they still weren't completely convinced until she started to sing. The look on their faces was priceless! Sadly, I had a bass in my hands, not a camera.

Roland Rock Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I must admit that I'd not heard of Jenny Haan or Babe Ruth Band, so have done some Googling - wow, what a top band, and a front person with a powerful presence and voice and unique style. What a great kitchen find! I'm just imagining how excited you are at the moment.

FinnDave Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 That clip was from 40 years ago! I had to check the decades off on my fingers to make sure, I was sure the 70s weren't that long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did look like only the lead vocals were live, though - the guitar solo and percussion/BVs weren't exactly in sync. Interesting typo in the end credits too - unless there was an artist in the 70's called 'Bonnie Raith'?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Wow. Do we get to hear how exactly this goddess of rock ended up in your MIL's kitchen? Does she deliver for Ocado? If so I might start online shopping. Seems pretty bizarre! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 It's actually our kitchen, the MiL lives with us. Jenny H. was helping her unpack her shopping, she does some work with elderly folk. Just a chance remark from the MiL that Jenny 'does a bit of singing' that lead to an increasingly bizarre conversation as I slowly realized who I was talking to! I gave her one of our CDs and she said she'd like to sing with us sometime, if the rest of the band didn't mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 You have no idea how weird it is to sit here looking at these clips when we'll be setting up on stage together in an hour's time! Usual singers are the guitarist and the harp player (who does 4 number in the set only). Guitarist relieved to be able to concentrate on guitar and bvs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
