I miss those early, pre-Elite Dangerous, days on the Frontier Forum

Slow... and yet slower. There's a lovely full moon out there tonight, so...

 

Hope y'all got clear skies!

Whereas low in the pre-dawn eastern sky, you can see Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars, all lined up near the waning Moon.

And one of my favourite old albums is Kaleidoscope's A Beacon From Mars, so...

 

Again, hope y'all got clear skies!

RIP Ronan O'Rahilly, the founder of Radio Caroline, which was one of the first off-shore pirate radio stations (broadcasting to the east of England in the mid-sixties). Radio Caroline had a huge effect on pop music radio broadcasting in the UK, putting the BBC to shame, and launched the careers of many DJs. I recall those days, as a kid listening on a cheap transistor radio, so well.

 

In a later incarnation, Radio Caroline used this as their theme music:

Now, something magical. The anatomy of a song

Followed by the finished article

Who could deny that the Doors are one of the finest bands ever to grace this planet. People will listen to this a 1000 years from now and beyond. They will always be immortal....immaculate.

Now look what you've gone and done, Geraldine! I just treated my neighbours to Celebration of the Lizard, on a Sunday morning at what can only be described as excess volume. To follow that, I gave them a thorough dose of another hugely-talented singer who also died too young...

Another time, another place, eh? Brings the old Rolling Stones poster to mind, does that!

As for Chicken Shack, the mere thought of Christine Perfect singing the Etta James classic I'd Rather Go Blind brings a tear to my eye! Of course, she was soon to be become Mrs Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac. However, this next track is Fleetwood Mac when they were still a blues/rock band, before they transitioned into a cocaine-fuelled stadium band...

I would have loved to see these two on stage together battling it out, maybe in the next life? As Jimmy H said himself, don't be late! 😎

Excalibur? Throw down the sword...

Always loved the cover art on Argus. Even without the flying saucer, it's a great image!

 

Gernot would like that one. He's out there somewhere, lost in the Big Black!

Is that a masked emoji, Geraldine?

 

From a band who've churned out heaven knows how many singles, to a band who only made one...

 

I came across it when I bought the Island sampler Nice Enough To Eat in '69 - awesome band/track list!

Of course, Heavy Jelly were really Skip Bifferty in disguise. Sadly, they split after that single.
