Terrible news about Wilko Johnson. Our sympathies go to all concerned. Here he is doing what he does best.

We’ve some regulars off to the farewell gigs in March – with any luck we’ll have some exclusive reports back here.

Merry Christmas (Tadhg Style)

Gerry Lee Lewis’ Doctor Visit

Happy Birthday Keith Moon

He would have been 66 last Thursday (23rd).

Sounds obvious, but news of poor auld Keiths demise has still to filter through to come circles (see Olympics Organizers Ask Keith Moon to Play Closing Ceremony)

Tom Waits – Hell Broke Luce

Just can’t get enough Tom Waits:

Classic Buddy Rich on the Muppet Show

An oldie but a great one… again courtesy of Mojo Magazine… Buddy Rich plays the Muppet Show.

From Muppet Wiki:

Buddy Rich: “The thing that’s good about it is; I felt like a Muppet myself; I was like a kid, playing with those guys, because that’s how they made me feel. Then, of course, the battle at the end with Animal; to play opposite Ronnie Verrell—one of my all-time favorite drummers, along with Kenny Clare—was a total gas to me. That one week will go down as one of the most positive weeks in my career. I loved it—and I thank them.”
