Still playing and singing - check out her Lockdown/Isolation vids.

I heard all sorts in that track Cody; a bit of Jefferson here, a bit of Syd Barrett there and certainly a touch of Doors amongst a whole host of others. Great!
Now.....what I can only describe as a "bass workout"

Feeling a bit uppity today, so may as well pay tribute to another pioneer from days past. This is one of my favorites, and I hope you like it too. (I've always wanted to say that)

[Geraldine]

It was Ian Gillan's Birthday yesterday, so here is he is giving it what for!

[Geraldine]

And today, it's Robert Plant's birthday! So how about a classic track from his zeppy days.

[Cody]

Ian Gillan and Robert Plant, eh?

I love that Chris Foss ship! Right up there with his Foundation cover art!

<sheds a quiet tear>

[Geraldine]

Ah, Chris Foss! Well Cody, now you have gone and done it! Walk with me now through the 2nd golden age of sci-fi in this series of videos. All the usual suspects are in attendance including, of course, Chris Foss, Peter Elson, Angus Mckie, Tim White and John Berkey, amongst others. Some of these images I have not seen in over 40 years! It's in 5 parts.

[Cody]

Awesome!

[Cody]

Anyone remember Edge of Darkness (the BBC TV series)? Top-notch sci-fi/political thriller!

[Geraldine]

I do remember that Cody, a great series and music. They don't make em like that no more!
It triggered memories in me so here is another 2 that stuck out for me from long, long ago.

Next, a favorite YT video of mine.

[Cody]

What a delightful contraption!
Hey... play the guitars!

[Geraldine]

Gerry Rafferty, who hailed from my hometown

[Cody]

Gerry Rafferty, eh? <chortles>

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

More hometown talent: The Hamsters...

The guitarist, Barry Martin, is an old friend of mine, known him since the '70s! He can play!

[Geraldine]

Great cover Cody but I decided I couldn't post Gerry without his school buddy Joe.

Edit: had to replace the video due to it being removed.

<drops a nickel into the jukebox>
Another old favourite of mine who died far too young...
