Steve S 60

Not mentioned yet, the late great Donny Hathaway.....

My thoughts are the subject has been covered extensively on this site.

Can we please discuss Man Utd in the "Whatever happened to...." thread.

You need the man with the stick, Steve.

Does Part 2 contain any advice on selling your collection in order to fund your retirement?

They should, but I've arrived at venues early doors where they're still messing about with all the sound settings. That may be because the first DJ doesn't like how it's been set up. I've witnessed DJs still tweaking with the sound well into the night. Age probably has a lot to do with it.

The first three records of the first spot are for fine tuning the sound, although the acoustics may change as the venue fills.

Because we all seem to agree on everything....."We Got Togetherness" - The Jewels.

Sadly, I've actually witnessed that.

Who Who Song Where I'm Not Wanted Get Out

Well at least they're drinking tea and not fizzy pop. My kids wouldn't touch tea when they were younger, although two of them drink it now.

Is that tea?

Here's a foolproof way of getting to hear your favourite sounds out and about. Publish a book about them and give it a snappy title like "The Northern Soul Top 150" et voila!

Sorted. MotownSoulMan has just posted his CV above.

No alcohol wouldn't bother me, but I'm probably in the minority. If you want to tempt people out you probably need something stronger than fizzy pop and squash. A 12:30 finish isn't too appealing, and who's your target audience given the music policy?

With apologies to Bobby Goldsboro.... I started up a soul event but I told it to too many people Now every promoter around has got a soul night in my town I booked a really good DJ to attract a whole lot of people Should have advertised it months before ‘Cause there’s no-one coming through the door Too many people, I told too many people. I saw a pair of Technics decks but I told it to too many people Now those Technics decks have gone, and now I’m left with Ariston Now every time I’m on eBay I’m outbid by too many people I should have kept my big mouth zipped I’m tired of always getting pipped By too many people, I told too many people. Well there are too many soul nights in this town Not enough punters to go around No matter what your DJs play It always happens that way Mmmm there’s too many soul nights in my town Here we go again…..

I think it very much depends on what mood I'm in. This week I'm mostly liking Jackey Beavers.

A few from Sicily, starting with Taormina, then Isola Bella and finally Savoca, where some of the scenes for The Godfather were filmed.....

How do you explain to a dog that the clocks have gone back and he'll have to wait another hour for his tea.....

African or European?

You're not by yourself there.

I would recommend that you pop into your nearest HiFi dealer and audition some turntable / amp / speaker combinations. The Technics is first and foremost a DJ turntable. There are better sounding decks for home use. A lot would depend on your record collection. I recently acquired a Sony PSHX500 that sounds great and has the added bonus of allowing you to digitise your record collection, just connect to a PC........ https://www.richersounds.com/sony-high-resolution-usb-turntable.html

Incidentally, "Compared To What" didn't get radio plays because the word "abortion" was mentioned in the lyrics.

They speak very highly of you, Steve.

What amp will you be hooking the turntable up to?
