I've Seen The Light

The title of this blog post refers to the first words I uttered after seeing Alabama 3, amazing words for a man whose biggest passion in life is for music and who prides himself on his so called knowledge of that subject.
The reason I mention Alabama 3 and I will mention them a lot on this blog I’m quite sure is when you start writing a blog your mind can often through the day think of what you are going to write in your next post but as I’m finding out it doesn’t often work out the way you plan.
I arrived home this evening with the idea of updating the blog with what I had been up to this weekend only for my aforementioned plans to disappear after noticing a book “Margrave of the Marshes-John Peel”, John Peel happens to be one of very few hero’s that I have and without his radio show my love of all music would not be born.
John Peel’s favourite song was “Teenage Kicks” by the Undertones which has one of the best lines ever (especially if approaching middle age)”Are teenage dreams so hard to beat” and this song has to be played loud, very loud.
I continued in a journey of loud music ending with Alabama 3 “Power in the blood” so that’s how I got from the events of the weekend to mentioning two of the best song’s ever.
I’ve posted a Alabama 3 clip from the gig in Melbourne only for the reason that I was there and I had told D Wayne Love to play the song the night before, did I mention the night before? Maybe next time.

Like Buses........

Like buses really you wait 6 months for an update and then 2 come along at the same time.

I'ts really great when you forget all about a song and then suddenly out of knowhere it pops back into your head many years later.
Even thought i collected music by the truck load and i do own this piece of music on many formats i just totally forgot how much i love it...................

Not Quite A Blogger

As you can see from the time of the last blog entry i haven't really taken the blog world by storm so why am i sat here writing this,a number of reasons really but as i realised the body is getting older and the mind more forgetful i really need a place to put my thoughts and memories plus in that everlasting quest for that rare track that i may have a vague recollection of from my youth i have come across some very very good blogs.
In my younger day's i never really thought of taking photo's mainly because i'm a lazy b*stard and i always thought the memory was good enough but as you get older and the memory gets longer the photo's mean so much more.
I never thought that i would blog (the jury is still out on that)as i could never see the point but people and times change and all a blog really is are rambling thoughts that would have been kept in a diary.
So that's entry number 2 if you count the video as the first but that's a bit lazy.The next update should appear in November by my calculations ;-)
