Day 1 - ⚖️

Scales = Libra which reminded me of Charles and his sightly concerning views about women 😳

Libra and my name is Charles
Now I like a woman that's quiet
A woman who carries herself like Miss Universe

Day 30

It’s been a fabulous November challenge. Thanks so much to everyone who has taken part and shared such inspired choices

I’m with Kate though and I’m pretty confident December Will Be Magic Again (what with Bing Crosby singing White Christmas) 👍😊

Day 29

Really struggled to pick a favourite one for today! I’m going with the one (in the hope @arqandtheclouds.bsky.social comes good on The Wombles! 🤞😁) I just love its mood 😎

Stardust – David Essex

But he’s the leader of the band
He’s a lonely man

Day 28

There’s a story in Joe Jackson’s memoir of how he worked as a jobbing musician at the Playboy Club in Portsmouth to raise money to make his demos. He had to wear a suit! It reminds me of this song.

Day 27

Al Bowlly was a British crooner/guitarist who was killed by a German bomb in 1942. I’ve posted this before but it’s worth hearing again 🥰

Day 20

BA Robertson - Kool In The Kaftan (Referencing Scott McKenzie of hippy fame)

I'm into Scott McKenzie
In San Francisco
That is where he can be found
I don't mean to offend thee
But San Francisco has its faults

Maybe it is truly underground

Day 19

The Dead Milkmen - Punk Rock Girl

And someone played a Beach Boys song
On the jukebox
It was "'California Dreamin'"
So, we started screamin'
"On such a winter's day"

And also "If you don't got Mojo Nixon
Then your store could use some fixin'"

Let 'Em In - Wings

Sister Suzy, brother John
Martin Luther, Phil and Don

Phil and Don Everly (obvs!) ‘Let 'Em In’ is a tribute to various people in Paul McCartney's life, and mentioning them was a nod to their musical impact on him.

Day 14

Before I leave Eddie Cochran, here’s one he wrote after the shock deaths of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. It’s a little maudlin but heartfelt. Eddie himself would be killed just over a yr later. RIP

Eddie Cochran - Three stars

Whenever I'm sad, whenever I'm blue
Whenever my troubles are heavy
Beneath the stars I play my guitar*
Just like Eddie

Eddy Vortex - Steve Gibbons Band

But he looks like Eddie Cochran
So that’s good enough for me

Day 10

The Upsetters - Return of Django

Skart the week Monday 👍

I know some would argue this was inspired by the film of the same name, but I’m inclined to think - at least subconsciously - this is referencing Belgium jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt 😊
