Waddo Soqable Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Glad you found it, annoying when something rings a bell but you can't place it ! There's other songs with the same name too which don't help, Trevor Walters and Dennis Brown spring to mind.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taunton-hobbit Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 A bit of a confession = for years I used a pro Denon cd double deck - it died about four years ago & I replaced it with a Numark CDN77 - much better 'tone' but Godawful slow to load & search; these days I tend to lean heavily on YouTube & I decided to fire the system up tonight for the first time in goodness-knows how long (bear in mind that I no longer play out) - and had to look at the instruction book to work out where continuous play was hidden - oh the shame (!) tonights offering herewith ............... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taunton-hobbit Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I'm listening to some Joe Gibbs dj stuff atm, the Dubsters have sheet ply in front of them (bluddy cat), but the whole thing still sounds righteous (I'm in the room next door) 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taunton-hobbit Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I note that after some delay, Henley Regatta is back shortly, which reminds me ......... A little while ago (1983, I think) I was gigging on the 'Trade' bank (opposite the posh stuff) About 8pm some local posh bird (about 20 & out of her skull) drifts in wearing nothing but an open trench coat ...... She was swiftly removed by the hostess, who clearly knew her & her reputation. So far so good. About 9pm the wonderful nearly new heavy duty silent generator dies. Cue loads of phone calls (remember this is Saturday night), my boss obviously knew the number for someone very high up & an engineer turned up about ten, looked very forlorn and went off to get a bit of some sort. Barbeques & booze in the fading light of an English summer evening can well be described as 'interesting' (Especially with no music, my set needs that sparky stuff - so do the tent lights ) After the midnight fireworks, the lights finally came back on about 12.30am - the more observant of you will notice that's a gap of about 3.5 hours. Most of the audience had whizzed off & those that were left were distinctly 'in drink' (nice turn of phrase, that) And that is how I landed up playing Pass The Dutchie to a group of Henley rozzers, who in truth, were plastered (in full uniform) on duty & demanded I play the bloody thing at least 3 times .............. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
