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.

The Doors guitarist Robbie Krieger took the melody from Leyenda and created this:
Nigel Kennedy had an intriguing take on the music of The Doors:
I remember an interview where Jaz Coleman said he had been writing some classical music - I guess this led to his collaboration with Kennedy. I have seen him live, as the singer with Killing Joke.

Some more mellotron. This is the band that I have seen live the most times. I think they were from Mansfield - used to play a lot of gigs around the North in the late 70's and early 80's.

Whenever I hear that Stones track, I feel like getting drunk. <grabs a bottle of Grolsch> Then I play...

Mrs. Betty Pench was playing the trombone when she heard a knock on the door. "I wonder who that is at 11 o'clock in the morning?" she thought, and cautiously opened the door. Instead of the turbaned ruffian she expected she found a very nice young man. "Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a Triumph Spitfire or three thousand in cash?" She smiled. Mrs. Pench took the money. "What will you do with it all, not that it's any of my business?" he giggled. "I think I'll become an alcoholic," said Betty

On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?

One by one, they're all slipping away! Much sadness!
Saw Meat Loaf at Donnington one time - was a really good show. Never bought any of his songs though. This is the only song I can remember listening to more than a few times
