3/4 time & Wellington Vinyl...

UPs to Grant Smithies for boosting the WCC Library's vinyl collection.
It was absolutely fantastic in the old days for the best  music but I was surprised he never mentioned the brains and the driving force behind the acqusitions.
I am not going to mention their name because it is not my prerogative but when they left the WCC they took a position at the Alexander Turnbull Library.
Dig a little deeper Grant and lets here it for the man.

I have to say that one of my favourite  albums was one made by Hank Williams just before he died with one track in particular "The Alabama Waltz" being a hit whenever I play it for the old folks.
Even Jimi did stuff in 3/4 and you can disguise it as 6/8 if you are careful with the accents.

Just checking Valley HI and Me And Paul which are astronomically expensive on the big A.
drat.

Reading Max Hastings The Secret War at the moment.
Great stuff pre the digital revolution.
He does not think much of some of the protagonists and it is easy to see why.
Both the US and British armed forces staffed with class conscious idiots and pompous bufffoons.
hahahahahahahahahahaha.
The reason why the allies won was not so much the men although some were brilliant but the preponderance of Materiel and expendable personnel.



have to go to you know where to get entry to other sites and the ad list throws up some doozies.
e.g. what happened to female WWE wrestlers and transgender celebrities you never knew about (Sic) and actors who have done sex tapes for the social media.
all very very sick but I suppose it is all in the public interest
yeah right!











right this link is public so I gotta go
