Nice touch for the Ox

[squire5]

This plaque is to be installed at Johns home in Stow-in-the-Wold.

Nice. I think the plaques are a nice way of paying respect to a person or place that meant something in music.

I love how you poms honour your legends , should be more of it.

Stow on the Wold? Just down the road from me, never knew he'd lived there, thought they were all West London boys.

[spectoremg]

Nice.

They were, but I think rock star country piles are a bit thin on the ground in Shepherd's Bush.

I watched the youtube isolated bass track of "Wont Get Fooled Again" on Wednesday and was once again gobsmacked.

I say this only to show how diverse people tastes (or lack of) are but I simply cannot stand to hear his playing. I appreciate my bank manager will take a different view.

The plaque is, indeed, a nice touch and should be applauded. More of it, for sure.

[machinehead]

Very nice.

I wonder when they'll be putting one on my house?

As far as I know it was a place called Quarwood just on the hills beyond Stow - you used to be able to see it up in the trees from the road to Stow from Cotswold Wildlife Park.

For a number of years JE lived over the road to me in Corringway, North Ealing, London.

His American car was so long that when it was parked in his drive it hung over the pavement by a good 4 feet. He also pushed the kids up and down the road in a big pram still in his cowboy boots and long tasselled leather jacket. A very incongruous sight.

Before that I believe he was in Gunnersbury Avenue.

Well deserved.

Non-bass-playing Mrs Pook saw this over my shoulder and agreed !

Nice and classy. Wrong thread I'm afraid for you.

I thought they were more out Acton way

Nice,

We finally put up a plaque by Lake Monona here in Wisconsin for Otis Redding.

His plane crashed in the lake on December 10th 1967. Otis was only 26 years old.

And what, exactly, is it that you "cannot stand" to hear about his playing?

"Cannot stand to hear his playing"

I'm proud to say I can't say that about any musicians playing.

Well deserved one of the best.

He went to the same school as my wife. It was called Acton County when John was there. When my wife went, the name was changed to Reynolds High School. It is now called Acton High School.
