To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

20's motorcycle song...
Johnny Cash gets a Beatlemania-type reaction before Beatlemania even existed!
Cars? Check!
Planes? Check!
Starships? Check!
Motorcycles? Check!
Trains?
They died with their Willie Nelson T-shirts on
Slow train
Speaking of planes, Did You Ever See Dallas From A DC9 At Night?
Nice Cody. Here is the Allman Brothers doing their thing
The Allman Brothers track reminded me a bit of Santana.
This song was broadcast on the Radio One Friday Rock Show in 1982. I taped it at the time and still have the recording (assuming the tape hasn't disintegrated)
At last, a missing album is restored to my collection (remastered too). Currently playing chez Cody...
Barry Melton's guitar work is superb! He's still going too, and still playing a Gibson SG Custom.
I have a vague memory of John Peel telling a story that someone suggested the Roy Harper song would be a good track to play as a tribute if John Peel died - Peely didn't like this as he was a big football fan and had little interest in cricket.
I have a Gibson SG but it's not a fancy one - it's called a Firebrand and was designed to be as inexpensive as possible - it was built in Nashville in 1980 and is still working fine, never been repaired or upgraded.
Kung Fu Fighting
Karate

It's possible that you mis-remember, methinks (or Peel was playing mind games). I believe Andy Kershaw ended his Peel tribute programme on BBC Radio 3 with it. Harper uses cricket as a metaphor for death in that song, which only adds to its depth.
<grins> Kung Fu Fighting was a classic!

Very possible as it would have been some time around the late 80's - although I am now thinking that it was John Walters (Peel's producer?) that he said made the suggestion - I can still almost hear Peel's voice saying he wasn't keen on cricket (he was a big Liverpool FC fan).
he was a big Liverpool FC fan
Aye, no doubt of that. He was a big fan of schoolgirls too, which he wouldn't get away with these days.
There was a lot of that back then unfortunately. Still, all things pass, in time.
That takes me back, Geraldine! The BBC wouldn't play it because of his manager's links to Radio Caroline. The pirate radio stations were a vital part of the '60s music scene, but the "establishment" hated them, and BBC Radio1 was created to try and compete.
From classy dobro playing to classy pedal steel playing...
That was a really "dirty song" there Cody! In fact, I find it most questionable! 😀

Dirty for dirty, eh?
Well, since we are nearing Christmas, how about a John Lennon song? 😏
Yeah Cody.
So, how about a little country music instead?
