Lat, while I would take issue with your assertion of spring as 'Nights are Longer', your 'Pneumatic Road Drill' was inspired.

Thank you John. When this topic was mentioned, I thought immediately of the Farley Flower Band. Some months ago I found "The Flower Song and Tree Song Album" which was released by them last year.
From my point of view, this is arguably the finest concept for a concept album that there has ever been. Arguably it is also the most dire and laughably ludicrous cd in recording history.
It was difficult to decide which of the 83 tracks to choose for our list. I have gone for "Oh, Oh Daffodil" although it was a close run thing with "An Iris Flower Song For All to Enjoy and Appreciate!", "Petunia, Oh Yeah, Petunia Flower, Yeah!" and "Azalea, Azaleas, Oh Sweet Azalea, How About It? I Like it a Lot!"
I think I am going to have to buy it actually. Its blimmin' awesome!

I've encountered this record before on our trawl through the land of collaborative lists, Lat, but not sure where - awesome or awful - I didn't know that Iris was a word for rainbow - do you think these guys work in a garden centre?Originally posted by Lateralthinking1 View Post
I reckon they're trying to keep the memory of Wild Man Fischer alive. 'That's the way it is, people like to classify things'. http://open.spotify.com/track/3J0eiGAq3UmgDzXOIa57rX

Is it me or is this Spring list one of the most odd we have ever had? It seems to be waiting to get going properly even though we are well over a hundred toons. It is up to you folks but I think it should be kept open for a while to see where it goes if anywhere. It would just be too easy to say 150 and that's it.Comment

It's been a fine spring-ish day, so I thought I'd brush off the old cassette and take a couple of old Andy shows out with me - he got me through an hour and a half of hard graft and I thought I'd share some of them old favourites with anyone who fancied a listen. I'm heading out there after a spot of tea,
, so this short list could get longer.

Hi Geoff - We are. GT has the link. We are up to 232. As always, it is broad ranging. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the theme there is a little more folk music than usual and we already have some obvious classical pieces. But we could do with some help - well, I could - in regard to world music on this topic. In some parts of the world there is no obvious Spring and in some others they don't seem to put it much to music. Hopefully, you will be able to prove this wrong and provide a new angle. - Lat.Originally posted by geofflikesmusic View Post
John - Thank you for the link. I very much like the apparent simplicity of that Modeste Hugues track.Last edited by Guest; 29-02-12, 22:48.Comment

At the time of the recording Lat, I'm pretty sure that I heard Andy say that Modeste was a London based Madagascan - I really liked it too.Originally posted by Lateralthinking1 View PostComment

That would be great. We have also picked up a couple of subscribers as I have once again used the www.sharemyplaylist.com facility. So, we have an audience...Originally posted by geofflikesmusic View Post

or this way...
Obviously we can't have too much Eartha Kitt, but I do think we are allowed one or two, and I have added a real oddity brought to my attention by my DJ (amongst other things) son-in-law who is discovering the joys of a certain kind of music...Comment

>>Modeste was a London based Madagascan
He still is. He keeps writing to me !Comment

Hey Lat & JC (and any other contributors regular or occasional) - it seems Spring has run its course over in Spooty-land and settled on 236 ...so, as I know that, like me, you are both men of the soil from time-to-time I was wondering about the theme of Gardening.
Or is that too similar to Spring?
Way things are going this'll be happening again, a mere 71 years after last time..

Sounds good to me Global. I don't know if Geoff is going to contribute to Spring? I did find a koto track that I'd like to add to it sometime if he doesn't. That splendid DL-L was on "Coast". I think it might have run to Rottingdean. On a windy day, golf balls from one of the pitch n putt courses might have reached it - if not from the windmill course, then probably Roedean.Originally posted by Globaltruth View PostHey Lat & JC (and any other contributors regular or occasional) - it seems Spring has run its course over in Spooty-land and settled on 236 ...so, as I know that, like me, you are both men of the soil from time-to-time I was wondering about the theme of Gardening.

Thanks, Lat - Right-o have made Spring collaborative again for a bit.Originally posted by Lateralthinking1 View Post
And Gardening is launched...hope you all dig it.
Daddy Long-Legs: bits of track are still there...I never saw it myself but have been on one similar. We used to live a few yards away from the windmill course - there is a lift from the road down to the 'beach'; antiquated and open at obscure hours.
Those gels at Roedean - did they really play that much golf?Comment

Blimey. It has been one of my second homes since the early 1970s. I love it there. One annual visit was generally on my birthday. December - and yes have done light snow. You might not be aware that the third course, slightly inland at Saltdean, has sadly gone. Still, you can still go through the underpass near the lido and find a quiet beach spot as indeed I did with my parents in sunshine last October. None of the pubs in the area are all that wonderful for meals though.Originally posted by Globaltruth View Post

Step forward Lat, to receive a small burst of applause for bringing some welcome humour to our listening pleasure.
Unexpected!
