it seems silly now, but i remember as 17 yr old when me & mates first heard Family Affair debating what exactly was being said at the line 'Newlywed a year ago, but you're still checking each other out'. Thanks for the memories, great music. RIP

Hi Lori, it's great you came our way...here's a few 'gig ad's of your Dad. Guess you probably get better access to these, but thought i'd post anyway. one is from 1965 the other 1968.

Sou Loft

i think HORACE SILVER ( DISCOGS: American jazz pianist, composer and bandleader, born September 2, 1928, in Norwalk, Connecticut, USA; died June 18, 2014 (age 85), in New Rochelle, New York, USA.) may have been ( one of the one's) credited with the term Soul Music.1960. At least 'his style was called Soul Music'.

I'm pretty sure ( some scrappy notes i have) that when Bob was talking to James Westbrook (5 wagers, deltas) he mentioned James taking lead on the Vows, 'when a boy loves a girl/east and west i go' and he said it was the 1st record on Red Balloon and was very obscure.

Seeing Russ Gilbert’s “sweeter than sweet things” in his set reminded me of long conversations with Tim ( TLS Capital ) RIP, about the version variations (Loma v Symbol) and me MP3 ing him. I miss him

COCHISE, not for me

i'm in the Charles Fizer, Walter Ward camp. Mack Starr was in the Olympics and that's on Chene.

Home Page Mike,

hi Mike, i notice all of the front page topics seem to have 9 views?

I think this really is a Meerkat and in time honoured NS fashion you covered it up (c/u) as your dog.😉

Prague today (9th May)

if you excluded all the 'dodgy' stuff from the "scene", we'd be worse for it. There was ton's of stuff going on to make a living back then in the USA alone... Gene Lawson, The Gresham Bros, Get a Job, just come to mind.

In the mide-late 80's Simon tried to trace his daughter. He and his wife had split up and Simon went to California. His wife (then) was from Gateshead, and a teacher i seem to remember ( but really vague memory now).
