The state of some of the replies to the original post. They’re on a slippery slope to authoritarianism, but apparently, this is all a publicity stunt to sell books.

I see @mtgallagher.bsky.social is flying the funk flag, which inspired me to go with this, for Token 2. Manu Dibango, with Soul Makossa.

Funky as hell Michael. Great lyrics and a Marvin Gaye quote. You couldn’t beat that with a big stick!

Very true. I am old enough to remember when the UK Top 40 countdown, was like the football results; “They’ve gone up three places, they’re just outside the Top 10, they’re at Number 5 for the fourth week running “. Shows like X Factor were the final nail in the coffin for all that.

It is often used in film and TV. If you haven’t seen it, try and watch the Netflix drama, The Queen’s Gambit, which, in one episode, has a wonderful montage sequence, cut to Classical Gas.

Good morning Still Honest and everyone on the jukebox today. Thus is a real brain stretcher of a theme and I’m anticipating some very good contributions. Here’s my Token 1-Mason Williams, with his great instrumental, Classical Gas.

You have a tradition of cured and smoked meats in Germany and Italy has a multitude of hams and salamis, but that, I feel, is not exactly the same. I’m prepared to be proven wrong.

Nice to see you back. Can I ask how job situation is going? I remember you were having problems and had to leave .

Not so bad. Nothing to complain of. Hope your sporty children aren’t getting you up too early. Presume you felt the need of a break?
