I can’t remember who it was but a soon to become famous guitarist told the story of being booked to support Chuck Berry one time (I have a feeling it might have been Clapton again). He turned up & waited. Berry apparently showed up minutes before the gig. Our man was in a blind panic at this point & grabbed him to say that he didn’t even know what songs they were playing. Apparently the reply was “We’s playing Chuck Berry songs, what do you think we’d be playing?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eisegerwind Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) I really wanted to join in this thread, but i dont't think I could narrow down my choices from 1960-2019 to one choice. Certainly i don't think even my aged years I could get back to the forties. So after a bit of thinking, remembering back to New Year parties, I remembered to the times when my father would sing song a called 'Rosemarie'. So after a bit of searching I found it '1935'. We'll need to change the title. He didn't do it in this operatic style in the link it was more in the pub style but I'll always remember him down on one knee singing 'Oh rosemarie I love you I'm always dreaming of you'. Enjoy.

Apparently the reply was “We’s playing Chuck Berry songs, what do you think we’d be playing?” It was Springsteen. He also didn't tell them the key they would be playing in and started in B flat, causing further confusion. He then proceeded to castigate two band members for 'playing too fancifully' and told Springsteen to stop playing lead - 'only Chuck Berry plays Chuck Berry licks'. He did praise Southside Johnny, telling the crowd - 'that white boy sure can play the blues'. Taking it back a bit further I would say: 1920s Blind Willie Johnson: God Moves on the Water (about the sinking of the Titanic) 1930s Robert Johnson: Love in Vain (lots of Woody Guthrie to pick from this decade too) Edited January 13, 2019 by Stapes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoofitharder Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) I don't really know which songs are my all time favourites so I am going with ones I like a lot. I was born in 1960 so 60s let the music play - Didi Noel. 70s Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd 80s Enola Gay - OMD. 90s Dreams - Cranberries I don't really know any songs from after the 90s Ian Edited January 13, 2019 by hoofitharder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ramy 1314 Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 I am absolutely shocked and appalled that nobody has mentioned Scotland's greatest gift to the world of music. The one and only. "Bay City Rollers". Top band in their day. That Woody was some fashion statement. Anyone know exactly in Scotland they were from? I'm sure it no "Bay City". Just sayin like..

I probably recorded that off the radio chart show with microphone onto my portable Philips cassette recorder. It was an old valve radio my folks had from the 50's. When the valves warmed up one must have moved and you had to give it a slap. My version of Status Quo's Down Down had a quiet section followed by a thump before the final chorus.

We had a revolution when my dad drilled a hole in my sister's Dansette-style record player and fitted a DIN socket somehow. I then had the option of copying her David Cassidy LPs.
