PM'd you gary

Strange I was using it earlier today. The link to the site comes up as "under consruction" Tried half a dozen pages with sound all come up as "The page cannot be found" gary

Brogues had to be by Frank Wright, real top quality. I remember folk wearing Highland dancing pumps.....you know who I mean MH The latter was probably a Scottish thing Didn't Spencers make pegs?! gary

here, here I was a big fan of the old bowling shirt. Used to get mine out of 'Flip of Holywood' in Edinburgh

I'm highly suspicious of - "(Let me be your) babysitter" - Duke Turner & the Chitowns gary

The man is a genius..........a mad one but a genius all the same. it's only a matter of time before it catches on!? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajbaAGB2rOU gary

I still get a buzz everytime the postie brings one of those little brown packets. She brought me 4 of them the other day, i could barely hide my excitement as she handed them over, you couldn't have wiped the smile of my face with a spade. I don't buy big money items but it's sooooo much fun trying to pick up unknowns or bargains.....happy days gary

PM'd you with Garland Green and Bobby Thurston gary

PM'd you Gary

John PM'd Betty Fikes to you. Can't get the sound-clips to play gary

I was lucky enough to see the great man at the end of the 80's in Edinburgh playhouse. He was jaw - dropingly good. He played every instrument on stage. A real hero of mine. gary

We are lucky, there's no doubt and I think, personally the positives far outweigh the negatives. I believe that the people on the scene are extremely passionate about it and it is this passion that causes the odd conflict, which i guess is only human. Conflict is after all described as " to be at odds with or a difference of opinions" People desperately want to get their point of view accross, which is good. What is bad is when it degenerates in to a slanging match and as you say Paul thank goodness for Mike and the Mods. I too find myself tut tutting at some of the comments but remind myself for me it's about the music and how much i love it in all of it's forms. As I've said before in other posts the knowledge, experience and willingness to help on here is astounding regrdless of whether it's your first post or your 1000th post. There's no one person for me that needs thanking but every one on here without whom it would be pretty dull and i don't mind saying, without soulsource there would be a void. gary

My first listen i thought ooohhhhh that's bad but i was comparing it, my second listen i tried to hear it for what it is and imagine if i'd not heard Rita's and i though that's not bad! gary

Rita and the tiaras is without doubt a masterpiece BUT what if you had heard Betty's first? It's not a bad song really, yes it does not compare but it's not bad.....is it? gary

Just managed to get the clip to play.....OH MY GOD!! How good is that?! gary

Got a couple of his things on 12" - Great voice, didn't realise the family ties! gary

Cheers, just curious gary

How about the same fellow doing C'mon and swim? gary

As i was typing this came on my jukebox - Jimmy Ruffin - I'll never let you get away - Tamla Motown TMG922 the flip side of Farewel is a lonely sound. I remember reading about his some time ago and thinking I'm sure I've got that somewhere. Dug it out, played and said aloud Holy Sheet. gary

Peggy Gaines Sweet way of living - Reforee - great crossover tune at only 1min 31secs, what's going on there then? Did they run out of ideas, words, time, money. Such a good tune but hardly seems an in-justice at 1min 31secs!!! FLIP IT - Just to satisfy my baby- KILLER TUNE and 1 min 11secs longer!!!! gary

Flipped the Triumphs Coming to your rescue lately for the first time.....ohhhhh what joy. "The world owes me a lovin" an angelic voice and lovely bit of tenor sax...perfect! gary
