Calne (Friday 26th April 2024)

Another Friday warm enough for take-out Lunchtime Special fish and chips, eaten in the Town Gardens.

Before that I had ventured down to the surgery to book my diabetic review. On the way I took one photo on a footbridge over the River Marden and then my camera battery ran out. I had spare batteries in my shoulder bag, but that was at home. There were more mallards squatting in the pedestrianised street further up where I later bought the lunch.

Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Screaming Lord Sutch and the Savages - Train kept a-rollin' (recorded April-May 1965, RGM, 304 Holloway Rd, London)
Screaming Lord Sutch (vcl) and the Savages: Ritchie Blackmore (gtr, vcl), Arvid Anderson (from Neil Christian & the Crusaders)(bass, vcl), Jim 'Tornado' Evans  (from Neil Christian & the Crusaders)(dr) with the Four Saxes: Richard Errington III (ten sax solo), Noel McManus (from Blues By Five)(ten sax), Reg Price (from Lord Rockingham's XI)(ten sax), Ashton 'Toots' Tootell (Tornados' roadie)(bar sax)
This is another selection from Mojo Working! The UK R&B Explosion on the current Mojo magazine, and is a hard to find version of a single by a short-lived line-up of David Sutch's band, he later of the The Official Monster Raving Loony Party. He was a great entertainer if not a brilliant singer but his records have plenty of energy. This Joe Meek production was based on the well-known 1956 version by the Johnny Burnette Trio (their B-side Honey Hush was also on the B-side of this Screaming Lord Sutch single) of the song originally by the Tiny Bradshaw Orchestra from 1952, and precedes the well known version by the Yardbirds by several months.
