Iain Maclachlan's tune.. written c 1958. It became Dark Island in 1962, renamed for the BBC TV series of that name,

A blistering guitar solo, and lovely kazoo work. Of course it's a good song to go with it.

AI started off as a fun tool, and has many artistic & novel uses. But, the horrific side is instead of aiding musicians', authors' artists', and academics' work; it is being used to replace it with cons galore & nobody bats an eye. Frankenstein's monster has been unleashed to run riot.

I watched. I didn't want to text and interrupt, as you were in full flow (apart from one siren distraction). A new year, and hopefully better on all grounds for you. I look forward to the book and of course an album in the near future.

Thanks for keeping us straight on that. The weekend starts here. I was chronologically confused. More calendar versus head confusion to come next week.

It feels pretty much like a minority platform, with our posts going largely ignored. Although millions shifted on to here, it still feels like tumbleweed drifting in the desert. It doesn't feel high to me yet, on the 'must post' priority scale.

On Twitter I kept getting followed by various 'Susanna Hoffs'
(sic), Half a dozen of her. Alas the real one not, it was in fact, only a bot.

A long time ago, in a musical galaxy far away - I danced to 'Sound and Vision' at discos. Pre-80's Bowie, it was one of those tracks that had a great danceability factor.

No touring performer should watch 'four in a bed'. They go round trying to find the tiniest 'short & curly', & err - 'bodily stains'. Imagine their reaction to some of the digs/hotels that are used by performers. Trigger warnings may be required. Compulsive pubic hair checking is a thing!

Just to clarity I meant 'this platform' as in their platform "Internet Archive". not 'this platform', "bluesky". Copyright in UK terms is 70 years after the death of an author/composer.. which is why John Lennon's songs are in (C). Recordings may be out of (C), but the songs themselves may not.

I hope this was a good short summary of the book.

Kirsty MacColl's demise was one of the great tragedies, irrespective of who she was. She died instinctively and heroically pushing her son out of the way. There was no justice served out to the rich perpetrator. IF the tweet was real Darren Grimes would be an ignorant and arrogant w----r.

You have the right to transfer and make available old 78's but not the right if the songs themselves are still in copyright. As it is you breach copyright on this platform, especially by making files downloadable.

You've had to be a one man promotions outfit for the last few months with so many projects on the go, Amazon! I left an unbiased ***** book review on the said platform for you.

That was beautiful and sung with such conviction. I could imagine that used in a TV programme. So creatively arranged to perfection. Who needs a choir? #voicesofangels
