Well there you go what happens when you attempt name dropping against the master of Alex Song and a reasonable pianist in a cycle repair shop etc. etc.
To complete the shame of the Mike Rutherford episode ....I confirmed by Google that Mike and the Mechanics were finishing a tour in Chicago and so I informed Lady Gould of the great news ....she was scarily unimpressed....So on we went out for a walk and there he was ....I say in a very loud voice, " There he is Jules"..and get a look of not "Oh No" from MR.
There it should have ended but on Sunday morning coming out of our room I bump into him again and far from "Oh No Not The Stalker" I get a smile of recognition and so I shake him by the hand and thank him for the music and find him charming and urbane ....two old men talking of Hotels, Chicago and Gateshead....if only I'd know we had a mutual acquaintance.......

8.25am and just off for a Bombay and tonic!Originally posted by Caliban View PostI have the vague impression that I am reading this thread drunk.
I know, I know - I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
I suppose to keep the flame alive I could confess to having played a gig (for charidee, it was) with Mr Rutherford along with Messrs Collins, Clapton, Starr and others inc. Gary Brooker, who co-wrote 'Whiter Shade of Pale'...
Actually: I've found the date - it was this gig http://www.whereseric.com/eric-clapton-tour/02/07/1988 (I am not named. I was lurking in the background with my trombone and other assorted amateur blowers and pluckers...)
And I've found that it's on video...!
Thanks for triggering these memories, antonio!
(NB: nor am I Chris Barber who totters on with his trombone at the end of that clip!)

There was a long but fascinating documentary about Genesis on BBC4 a month or two back, bound to be on again - look out for it: MR sits their smiling urbanely indeed.
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

I am not one who likes to be 'surprised' by something totally unpredictable. It is surprise enough not to have advance playlists, so that everything is a 'surprise' in that one didn't know what was coming next.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

Did I really hear the hills are alive....just before the end of the programme?!
[ed.] I turned the radio on at 8.58 to hear CD Review. I’ll make sure in the future to wait until 9.00.Last edited by doversoul1; 28-03-15, 10:16.
