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.

Used to hear a song called The Juice of the Barley on a Val Doonican record when I was a kid. Didn't understand the chorus. Turns out it is partly in Irish.

Taped this song from the radio when it was broadcast in the 80's. Still got it on cassette but don't know whether it would still be playable. Scottish prog metal band Chasar from a session recorded for the Friday Rock Show.

The Charlatans' label refused to let them release Codine as they thought it encouraged drug abuse - fools!

 

Anyway, another one gone - R.I.P. Robbie Robertson...

Found this by accident, I've never heard this song done like this, it seems as if this is the way it should be done.

Great voice, reminded me a little bit of Bruce Dickinson...

Also wasn't expecting a heavy metal singer to be playing the harmonica...

Yep! Judy Collins did it beautifully, and Pete Rowan was known to close some gigs with it.

Taped this version of Amazing Grace off of the radio forty odd years ago - don't know anything about the band

Great guitar sound

Yeah, especially Bob Weir's rhythm playing - top-notch! I love the sound of a Gibson semi.

 

 

Melanie had a big hit with this Stones number in 1970, but later recorded this subtly different version...

Couldn't afford a Gibson semi so i settled for an Epiphone one.

The only guitar I ever owned was a Framus acoustic (bought in '73). Not that I could play it much - drums was my thing - but it had a lovely mellow sound and a beautifully curved back. My then girlfriend could play though, and she ended up owning it. <sighs wistfully>

Used to have some Yamaha drums. The bass drum pedal was from a band that played a gig in Leeds in the early 80's but somehow managed to leave it outside the venue after the gig. I found it about two days later. I could play a lot of basic rock rhythms but had no idea what a paradiddle was. Have an electronic kit now but hardly have any time to play it. Also have one of the early Japanese Squier Precision basses which are supposedly similar in quality to the more expensive Fender models. Will probably never be a very good drummer, guitarist or bass player but won't stop trying to play all three.

Sadly, I think it's time for an old protest song...

An Aussie band I heard in my barbershop the other day...

Lovely guitar playing, reminiscent of Peter Green.

Excellent. Great guitar sound. And an excuse to post some Rose Tattoo (Australian band)

A short but oh so sweet guitar break from Mike Oldfield...

 

Heard that so-called Beatles "final song" today - not impressed!

@cody I heard it too. It sounded so fake to me. Still, I picked up a CD, because I couldn't find a record version of it anywhere, of it and will be doing a back to back comparison to some genuine Beatles vinyl albums. I doubt my view will change.

Now that, is the real thing! 😎

 

EDIT: New video because old one was taken down? 😵
