A few mono Parlophone Beatles made it to the Colonies......


Early -2/-3 tube cut

 

Raining cats and dogs. Catching up on my Economist backlog with some Brubeck.

 

Some early Doors this evening,

 

Absolutely LOVE that group and their first album.

Mono or stereo?

 

The first album was very Smooooooooth , but thought their second album was a little nutty for my taste

 

B52 live concert from 2018.... gives an old f-rt like me some hope on a Sunday.... Rock On..

 

Dinner simmering for later, Cars on the table.




A Texas summer staple, black-eyed peas/onions/bell peppers/new baby red potatoes/chicken meatballs/ bacon fat for seasoning/black pepper/salt to taste. Serve with fresh cornbread and just enjoy.

 

All simmered down and waiting on the cornbread to golden.

Al, brings back a lot of memories of London shows. I worked with Brian Vollmer's wife when I was young. I'd see him at a show on Friday and then again when he dropped off his wife at work on Monday. Realities of a Canadian rock band.

 

Yep - lots of local connections with this band for sure. I think Brian now lives in Listowel, where my sister lives...

Saw them at Rock the Park a number of years ago, and it was a good time.

 

The Animals animal tracks , and yes it’s in glorious mono .
