Beatles fan, lefty, guitarist, Celtic supporter, nice person.
Mentioned earlier. @stevenc63.bsky.social did an alternative running order of Extra Texture (Read All About It). I think it really enhances a fine album, that probably wasn't sequenced as well as it could have been. I really like it #extratexture50

I do love that second version of This Guitar, quite brilliant #extratexture50

His Name Is Legs (Ladies and Gentlemen) - no idea why this song got so much criticism back in the day (I remember reading reviews about it years and years ago). It's friggin great #extratexture50

Grey Cloudy Lies - it's good but might be my least favourite. The synth bit at the end of the verses seem to annoy me for reason 😅 #extratexture50

Tired of Midnight Blue - rocketed to one of my favourite George songs. I even did a (not great) attempt at recording it (harder to sing than you might think). I think it's an album highlight and one of my favourite George songs. Freaking great 🙂 #extratexture50

Can't Stop Thinking About You - I think it's another banger. Really well arranged and George sings with passion. #extratexture50

Odd place for A Bit More of You 🤔 #extratexture50

World of Stone is top tier George in my view. I've always loved (not my fav on the album though) #extratexture50
November 22, 2025 at 9:22 PM
Ooh Baby (You Know I Love You) - it's great again. Has this song ever been covered? I think it's just begging to have a real soul version of it. Nothing wrong with this of course, but I just see this as a real R&B song sung by a woman. #extratexture50

This Guitar (Can't Keep From Crying) is superb. That's it 😅 #extratexture50
November 22, 2025 at 9:12 PM
The Answers At The End is superb in my view. I've listened very carefully to this song, it's beautifully arranged with a great vocal by George #extratexture50

You is a fantastic opener. Minimalist, great guitars, and great melody #extratexture50

So sad to hear of Diane Keaton's passing. She was an incredibly diverse actress who seemed to be able to transition seemlessly between comedy & drama. She was incredible in Annie Hall, Manhattan, Looking for Mr Goodbar, Manhattan Murder Mystery, Baby Boom, Something's Gotta Give etc. RIP Diane.

Happy Birthday to my buddy Johnny "Moondog" Lennon. He's been a big part of my life since I was a kid and has always been a good friend.

I think Chaos And Creation In The Backyard is an outstanding album. It has a personal feel to it, a man not completely at ease, and it's filled with fantastic songs. Nigel Godrich did a great job pushing Macca. Whilst maybe not quite top tier Macca, I don't think it's far off. #maccachaos20

I only Got Two Hands - always loved the way he closes the album. The piano part is pure genius #maccachaos20
September 13, 2025 at 8:48 PM
Anyway (despite the People Get Ready likeness) is fantastic. It feels personal and the melody is gorgeous #maccachaos20

This Never Happened Before. Don't know why, but I feel uncomfortable with it. I wonder what Mary and Stella in particular thought of it. #maccachaos20
September 13, 2025 at 8:42 PM
I think Promise To You Girl is probably the weakest track, yet it's opening is fantastic. Caused a bit of tension with Nigel if I recall #maccachaos20
September 13, 2025 at 8:38 PM
Follow Me is a guitar player's song, late night in an Irish bar at that point every reflects 😅 #maccachaos20

Riding to Vanity Fair is absolutely outstanding. Good to hear a bit of bitter Macca. Remember Tom Robinson naming this song in his interview with Paul as his favourite. It's superb. #maccachaos20
September 13, 2025 at 8:29 PM
A Certain Softness is probably my least favourite on the album, but I like the wee bossa nova vibe tonight #maccachaos20
September 13, 2025 at 8:26 PM
Too Much Rain is just fabulous. End of. #maccachaos20
September 13, 2025 at 8:25 PM
English Tea is just delightful, even for this slightly hardened West Belfast boy 😅 #maccachaos20
September 13, 2025 at 8:21 PM
Is Friends To Go the best George tribute Paul has done, or is it just because he mentioned it. It's a fabulous song whatever, I think. Going to play this one on the guitar 😀 #maccachaos20
