gordon s Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Glad to hear it all went well Tony. Sounds like there's a few miles left in the tank..... Talking about sounds, stumbled across this site a few minutes ago. It's all about band line ups from the 60's. http://www.webcitati...-10-25 22:33:23 Edited June 14, 2012 by gordon s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted June 14, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 14, 2012 You want some sound? Try this http://www.steamsoundsarchive.com/10/10_1.html (and the good thing about it is that you at least can't hear me swearing at the Traction Inspector on the footplate of 4930 as we went up Sapperton Bank with me fuming about the dismal performance and the Severn Tunnel Driver muttering 'this was how we always came up here on the ballasts' and me trying to get it through to him that we were not on a ballast train. Mind you we still knocked out a few bricks as we went through the tunnel ). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No room for them on the footplate alas (where there were, I seem to recall, what I shall refer to as 'a number of us', and at least 3 of us had a go on the shovel going up Sapperton although the loco was steaming well but the Fireman was flagging a bit after many years of driving diesels).

gordon s Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Now I'm treading on dangerous ground...... It was never released as a single as far as I'm aware, Pete. It is a track on the Funky Butt live album though...... I thought the single was Sam and Dave..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Oops, you're right! Alzheimers kicking in, I'm afraid!!!!!!! Btw on Dexy's the No.1 single was called Geno and was about Geno and The Ram Jam Band, specifically a gig they did in Harrow in 1968. It's a good song and performance. Best, Pete.

gordon s Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) No worries Pete, I got just as confused over C'mon Eileen and Geno. Both were Kevin Rowland but completely different backing group under the same name 'Midnight Runners'. Geno Washington was pretty special as a live band though. Just a shame he couldn't recreate that excitement on a 45. The live album was one of my all time favourites that I haven't heard for years. It could be on my iPod in a few minutes.... Edit: No it won't. iTunes don't list the album. I wonder if it's still on CD. If not it's back to vinyl......

gordon s Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Jeez, only two CD's that I can find. One at £47 and the other £125......Vinyl copies seem readily available for less that £20.....and I thought vinyl was the real way to listen to music as it was recorded.

RMweb Gold PhilH Posted June 14, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 14, 2012 Good grief, that's a blast from the past - Geno Washington and the Ram Jam Band, I must have seen them 5 or 6 times way back when. It's strange the things that stick in your head, I can remember that the keyboard player had a Leslie rotary speaker cabinet for his Hammond. Another favourite band, again who I saw often, was Jimmy James and the Vagabonds. Happy days apart from the fact that I met my ex-wife at a JJ gig at the Royal Pier ballroom in Southampton (which was all the way out out the end of the pier.

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted June 14, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 14, 2012 Is Americana the one with "God Save The Queen" on? Certainly is! First two verses and then a segue (is that the right term?) into "My Country Tis of Thee" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
