A couple from Stevie Wonder

 

 

 

 

Here’s a very abridged clip of my band doing a song by the Melbourne singer songwriter Paul Madigan. I used to enjoy traveling to the Tiger Lounge in Richmond every Saturday afternoon to watch him and his band The Humans (Ross Hannaford, Wayne Duncan and Freddie Strauks), in the latter part of the 70’s.

Quite the interesting chap, Paul Madigan.  I used to love his radio show on 3RRR in the early 80s.

High calibre band as well, featuring two Daddy Cools and a Skyhook.  Did Doody perform at the gigs?  :D

Haha... unfortunately not; but I did hear some interesting stories about her luring chaps home only to have them surprised by Paul springing out of a wardrobe. True? No idea, but it makes for a great mental image.

The Monkees haven't been seen here on this thread but as popular as they were back in the day they were also underrated ... the following 2 songs were hugely popular here in Oz in the late 60's but Davey Jones doesn't feature on lead vocals in either song

And I'm not sure that 'Mary Mary' was ever released as a single outside of Australia but the words to the song were rather risque by today's standards!

 

 

 

 

My band played this afternoon and we had a few guests sit in, that included Vince, the guitarist from the Hitmen and Psychotic Turnbuckles (for anyone old enough to remember), Chester the singer from the Turnbuckles and Archie the drummer from the Huxton Creepers. This was my first time meeting Archie, but we bonded very quickly upon learning we share a love of the Dees.

Point of order ... Stairway to Heaven was never released as a single.

Should I have said songs then?

Yet more shameless self promotion...

Last Sunday (20th Dec) we (The Branch Covidians) played in an event called COGIG19, which is an online streaming festival running over a period of 19 days and aiming to set a new world record for online acts performing out of one location as a festival; achieved by the middle of the first week.  It featured artists from all over the planet.  This link is to a YouTube playlist of a half dozen songs, I cut from our stream and edited; hope you enjoy if you feel inclined to check them out:


Happy New Year and let's hope 2021 has a little less drama... an appropriate tune for the times:

Very nice, hardtack.  A Hoodoo Gurus tune, if I'm not mistaken?

Indeed it is.

Since shameless promotions seem to be ok, below is video of my son’s band. He’s the lead guitarist. 

PS - Werridee, just loved your idea of infecting this topic with another “best of” collection - brilliant!

Absolutely LOVE this... it's like Folsom Prison Blues (melody) on steroids!  Your son's a [censored] good guitarist as well!!

PS. Nothing wrong with shameless self-promotion... it's the best way to get things out there.


Fans of "The Sopranos" tv series will be familiar with this song but maybe not this version. Intriguing band. Wish I'd discovered them years earlier.

Great stuff... I see these guys (North Mississippi Allstars) at Byron Bay Bluesfest a few years ago... another brilliant, yet largely unknown, band.

 

Q:  What did the dead blues singer have inscribed on his gravestone?

A:  "Well, I didn't wake up this morning."

 

 

Don’t know why I hadn’t come across Joe earlier but he does some great guitar work! 

Here is another Joe classic performed at the Sydney Opera House

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
