Even better if invented connections work too. You left a puzzle with that Russian rifle - I hope I've returned the compliment...

No probs for the Latmeister, Global! Fine piece of RP Williams there taking me back to this which was one of the best vids I saw last year. Class.

Global - Charlie Kunz was buried right next to my grandfather in Streatham, South London, but 19 years later than him. I don't think I'd heard him before though so thank you for the 35 seconds that is "Flanagan".

Fascinating. Genuinely. Here's an odd website that actually shows an image of this
Charlie Kunz's grave ~What an odd estate the internet is.

As I posted in the other place, my daughter used to live a few doors away from where Denny Dennis was born and lived. We only knew because someone had put a hand-made blue plaque on the terraced house, and an old local confirmed this to be true. I'm reliably told this was one of his hits. I've always been fond of his small body of available work ever since.

now let's add Charlie Kunz to that list...he's got a lot of music on Sptty.

I wonder if Full Member John Wright has ever cast his pod on Charlie ?

Just spotted this, Global. Yes, that's it. I went there several times as a child although I never knew my grandfather because he died in 1939. There is someone else well-known in immediate proximity, a music hall comedian possibly, but I can't remember who it is. Sadly, there was a lot of "clearance" at Streatham Vale and my grandfather's grave was removed. The photograph appears to show that and my guess is that it was where one of the gaps is. From memory, he and CK were virtually side by side.

....Just found this which is quite interesting. Think the other one nearby might have been Lupino Lane.

Should I worry that I find this interesting?

Anyway back to the music, it's someone else's move here...

.......Something that has been on my mind recently. As we are drawing up these collaborative lists, the ones I am choosing are a mixture of those previously known to me and not known. I always try to spend a bit of time listening to the new stuff and never pick a track before at least listening to a lengthy snippet. If I'm intrigued I go back and listen to it in full. It helps to have a reasonable knowledge base as a start and some of it is instinct. I would imagine that other contributors are similar in their approaches. At the same time, I'm trying to spot other interesting looking tracks that other people have picked and playing those too.

It can feel though a bit like a merry-go-round in which important things can easily slip by. I know that there have been many occasions when someone has chosen something and I've wanted to know more. Sometimes I google and sometimes I manage to say "hey, that's great". It seems though a pity that we are not getting the full benefits of members' knowledge to set the context sometimes. It's probably a character fault of mine, the feeling that I want in the nicest possible way to nail some of it down.

I still wonder whether there might be scope for a thread for discussing some of the music more. Not sure quite how or if it would work. Guess I could say "I am really getting into Bulgarian music" - which I am incidentally, it is absolutely outstanding - and someone could say "I know everything there is to tell about Bulgarian music - try this cd or that one". Something like this. The alternative is that we just continue with the spontaneity. Either way, I'm cool. :cool2:

Spot on, as it were, Lat.

Similar thought had occurred.

I am finding that whole new areas are being opened up, quite often through someone posting a track from a compilation that then takes me off to new places (Your Arthur 'Boogie' Smith being a case in point - loved that whole volume to bits). I always listen to everything posted eventually and it often does stimulate questions (PS and his Mr Bliss Gorbals track which was quite out of character for him)...and, if I don't know a track before I post (along the lines of 'this looks good I wonder if...') then I like to listen to it first.
Or sometimes even if it is an old friend.
So how do we do this?
I think perhaps we do need to ask each other a bit more with regard to specific tracks/compilations/artists.
The chain is particularly fascinating for this, the rate of growth is so considered.

It reminds me of a game of aural chess - who gets to make the last move? I feel successful when I get 2 matches on a track. (your move I believe)

[Lateralthinking1]

Yes, that's great stuff. There have also been a few where I've thought "hold on, what is the link?". I never doubt that there is one. Far too trusting for that but sometimes that is the bit that is the most intriguing.

There are one or 2 that I haven't been able to work out... I'll post them up at some point.
