What kind of music you hear while you trade?

Reflections.

I'm closing off a wonderful weekend of catching up in person with a close friend after the relaxation of the 'stay-at-home' & how many at home rules in Brizzie.


So a little musical reflection.


I was just a teenager when the Blonde On Blonde double album came out.
A mate at school had purchased it. And said come on over and listen to his vinyl.


Bob Dylan - Visions Of Johanna

Happy Birthday today for Ronnie Wood guitarist, songwriter, painter and radio presenter. Originally a member of UK band The Birds, he first worked alongside Rod Stewart in the Jeff Beck Group. He then got together with three members of The Small Faces to form the Faces joined by Rod on vocals. His songwriting partnership with Rod extended to Rod's early solo albums. Wood joined The Rolling Stones in 1975 after the departure of Mick Taylor.

Also having a birthday is Tom Robinson, singer, songwriter, radio presenter and long-time LGBT rights activist. He was a member of Cafe Society, Sector 27, and scored the 1977 UK No.5 single with Tom Robinson Band, '2-4-6-8- Motorway', plus 'Glad to Be Gay', 'Don't Take No for an Answer' and the solo single 'War Baby'.

You may not know this name but Happy Birthday to Mike Joyce, drummer with English rock band The Smiths who had the 1984 UK No.10 single 'Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now', plus 15 other UK Top 40 singles. In 1996, Joyce sued former Smiths' colleagues Johnny Marr and Morrissey for an equal share of performance and recording royalties. Joyce won the case and was awarded damages of around one million pounds from Morrissey and Marr.

Last but not least for today, it's Happy Birthday to Alanis Morissette, Canadian-American, singer, songwriter, who had the 1996 US No.4 & UK No.11 single 'Ironic' from Jagged Little Pill which has sold more then 30 million copies, making it the best ever selling record by a female performer. Morissette appeared on the Canadian children's television show You Can't Do That for five episodes when she was in elementary school and has now sold more than 60 million albums worldwide.

This music plays when I nail my trades

Some very tasty guitar work from Mr Pat McManus here.......

That film teach us a lot of things... of course if you can understant it.

We'd better say Happy Birthday to Mr Charlie Watts, English drummer who joined The Rolling Stones in 1963 and had the 1965 UK & US No.1 single ’(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction’ and over 35 Top 40 singles and albums. Watts also plays occasional gigs with Charlie Watts and his Big Band. In 2006, Watts was elected into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame.

A bit of trivia, but today in 1965 Ray Charles started a five week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with the Don Gibson penned country ballad 'I Can't Stop Loving You', also No.1 in the UK.

Original backing guitarist for Howlin' Wolf.

And in the movie Cadillac Records, the bar fight scene was where Muddy Waters stole Hubert away from the Wolf for his own band (for a short while).
