thimble generator
Just read the sad news about Chris Whitley who has gone to the big record store in the sky. I came to his songs late in the day but have just found this fab link to his gig at Cafe Du Nord,San Francisco, CA07/24/05
I took a dander out in the rain up Leith Walk and passed a sign for 'Jumbo Bridies' only on the Walk..folks..
I also took a tumble into Cash Generator where folks off load crap cd's for very little wonga. This means they are available to the discerning public for the price of a 1976 kebab..
The racks were full of SClub7, Stephen Gately, Adam Rickett, Boyszone , 911 and East 17. Needless to say, I was not tempted to part with any cash. However, I did spend a quid on 'Greatest Hits of Rolf Harris' A little gem that has been alluding me for many aeons. Released on the magnificent Disky label and with a proper cover, I am one delighted anorak...and it now graces pride of place in my vast cd collection. However, mine is but a drop in the brine. I met someone the other day who had a collection of 80,000 albums.I didn't get a chance to ask if they could tell me the 24,356 one they acquired, that would let us know if they were indeed a serious collector or just a show off.
Left of the planet and round by the Pizza Hut tonight...no countrry just drama and angst wrapped up in a pop ribbon.
Keith West Excerpts from a Teenage Opera mp3
I wondered what this record actually sounded like for years, thanks to the net I now know and it is 'nae bad' as Arthur Askey would say when in Moncrief.

My God, never heard that before! Guess ole Keith didn't make it to the U.S. And those children. There's always something a little sinister about children singing on records of that period...
All together now! Grocer Jack, Grocer Jack....
hey dick van dyke..wonderful notes to accompany this piece of mental nostalgia. I remember the spooky kids all singing 'Grocer Jack, Grocer Jack' I hadn't realised Keith West was so multi talented. I wonder what he is doing now if he is still around?? cheers for the posts all you posters out there in posterland.
