....Just been looking at the Croydon Guardian to see whether any decent bands are playing. Apparently, Wally Watthead and His Lost Glow are here shortly:

Hey Lat, as you may recall I told you I was away practising my golf swing courtesy of sagely Frank Dollinger out on the west coast of Iona - other than that I listened to the birds and the waves and to the cries of delight from my daughter jumping into the Atlantic with some pals - not me - I'll wait for more summerish breezes - and I read 'Dylan on Dylan' a compilation of a bunch of interviews he gave down the years - pretty excellent I have to say - so funny - you'll know some from elsewhere, but his ability to be different elements of himself and to make you laugh is wonderful.Originally posted by Lateralthinking1 View Post

Welcome back JC -
But really I just wanted to post a note of congrats to the sound engineer(s) for that recent session on MAK's show. A few weeks ago I was at a music performance where the sound people failed abysmally to mike the cello properly - they are apparently tricky to get right, especially when combined with acoustic guitar as opposed to other more traditional instruments. To the extent that the sound man that night went on stage and apologised, after we all had suffered along with the brave young cellist who had been invoking unwanted feedback on the high notes, loss of volume on the low notes, and other disasters in between.
The Wo3 boys did an excellent job, which we invariably take for granted...Comment

Yes, welcome back John. You have been missed. The scene you describe sounds idyllic and it puts the Masters in perspective, good as that is too. Frank Drollinger is the business. You might want to buy his "Free-Release Methode - Das Golf Hörbuch" cd -
He is now a golf medical coach and I have dug out some tips for you from his Twitter page -
Golf Rules: Simulation: if the MD find out that using traditional Golf Shoes injure Golfers are they confirm with the ruels, spirit of the game
Golf Injuries: the 80 year old basic swing model is not physiologic-the Free-Release-Swing is nearly 100% free of resitance, torque + stress
Golf Biomechanic Pro: 99% Golfers has passive leg work...so they are armswingers...this is easy to measure...use the Golf Power Trainer
Golf Medical Coach.John Daily back problems, Vijey Singh neck, the winner of the PGA Champion.knee problems, the second knee.. open your eys
Golf Medical vibrations, wrist, ellbow and shoulder problems. important: impact angle.if the core is hypermobil no chance.F-R-M fix the core
Golf Health: our research says.supination at the tends of the ankles are microinjuries... we recommend to use the Turning Shoe - he is ethic
GolfBiomechanics...Vijey says he loose his feel on the green...wrong his Greens in Regualtion Quality is too poor..i recommend Free Release
If you follow his advice, it will be albatross after albatross.Last edited by Guest; 17-04-11, 23:47.Comment

Seems like it was an Albert Ross round Vijay's neck from the looks of things Lat - yep we had a fine time - 18 holes and not a golfer in sight - heaven!Originally posted by Lateralthinking1 View PostYes, welcome back John.

This is the view from the fourth tee, though you hit in the other direction - well sometimes - when you're following Frank's guidelines.

I agree with Winston Churchill on this particular sport (check out the title of the video clip), this is an acceptable variation
can we get back to the music yet?
Maybe with some swing club?

I really enjoyed the Fraser Haas music G - the cello was terrific - beautifully atmospheric. I had a record by Alisdair Fraser called Skyedance - sometimes it's a bit floatie, but I keep going back for another listen. Great to drag out when travelling through the hills on Mull especially on a good misty day.Originally posted by Globaltruth View Post
Really enjoyed the Talvin Singh track too and the Wailin' Jennies that proceeded it... and the two man gentlemen as well. Mary Ann was in fine form I thought.
Anyway I see the Fraser/Haas record is on spootnik.

After a lengthy sabbatical, I have finally caught up a bit with the music. I enjoyed last Friday's programme. A very nice interview and session with Emmylou Harris - life affirming I thought - and I was particularly struck by "The Road" about the late, great, Gram Parsons. The album is getting mixed reviews - dire in the Independent but then the review itself seemed chucked together, much better in the Telegraph which identifies its strengths but laments its AOR production sheen. A name check there for Rick Rubin - is it time, they ask, for her to bring him in? Yes, at 64, her voice is still terrific and it is surely a cd waiting to happen.
In the other parts of the programme, one of my favourite tracks was "Adieu Lovely Nancy" by Pilgrim’s Way. Sure, I was reminded of Global's comment about that strange folk singer's voice many of them have, but I have a slightly different take on it. Imagine how much better England would sound if everyone - and I do mean everyone - spoke in that way. Tarantulae offered a glimpse into the future Womad - they sounded OK enough, a familiar person soon to be back on the wireless turned up (again) on "Peaceful Waters" by the Yirdbards, Donso did something quite fascinating between broken beats and Bambara (put that down to Krazy Baldhead), and there was the tremendous if atypical "Chorfa" from Orchestra National de Barbès. Overall, eight out of ten.Last edited by Guest; 24-04-11, 21:49.Comment

Lat I think Max played Pilgrim's Way by Pilgrim's Way this week on one of his shows and I really enjoyed it.Comment

Eliza Carthy on MAK?
...actually there was a lot more than just E. Carthy on MAK's show - she also managed to slip in Tony Allen, a track demonstrating the surprising combination of Lee Scratch P. and Ejigayehu Shibabaw [aka Gigi], and Serge Gainsbourg.
From my pov the jury is still out on 'Neptune', although I do like that poignant (completely non-mawkish) track 'Thursday'....
There are still 3 days left to listen to one of MAK's best.
(although I do wish people would drop the tired old 'folk royalty' tag for them there Watersons.)Comment

I nodded off again - too much good-timing in Firle and you can't have the sound up
too loud in the bedroom of an old inn ! Must try to catch up though. I really like MAK -
particularly the understated attitude she puts in her Wo3 broadcasts. Well I know what
I mean !
