An album called 'A rainbow in curved air,'forget who by. Stewart Copeland, Police drummist.

I liked Curved Air as a young man, summat to do with Sonja Kristina being proper fit.

It will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet, then it is not yet the end..

I know Jon Anderson off of Yes was from Accrington, dunno the composer and won't google it.

MGB GT was from one of my personal heroes, Richard Thompson. I have his complete anthology.
Liked his vehicles: another notable song was Vincent Black Shadow.

Happy bumpering!

You're good you two, the composer is Harrison Birtwistle. I did the sound for a local bands in my youth & we often supported big names when they came north, Curved Air being one & Sonia Kristina was in a class of her own. I became quite good at squeezing past her in the dressing room for obvious reasons.

Ta, but I must take the credit. Sue is amazed that I can recall obscure music facts but forget our wedding anniversary.... Fairly regularly.:whistle: 40 years is a long time to be married to a ginger, oops strawberry blonde, tbh.

Next q: in a recent survey, how many people wanted to punch Bono really hard in the face. Repeatedly.

Or....
Which 20th Century Schizoid Man associated with a man, now sadly deceased, that stuck daggers into a Hammond?

Not the TG one, but come to think of it.....

I had her poster pinned on my wall. Sounds like you had her pinned AGAINST the wall. :beer: :spank:
Gotta be careful with that nowadays: ask DLT. The Hairy Tw@tflake. Another candidate for repeated violence. Me first! Are knuckledusters still legal?

Fond dream: Johnny- Land news wish: Simon Bates, Kid Jenson (called that for a reason I'd reckon! And not for his youthful looks...) and Noel Edmonds (tidy-bearded eternal life annoyance, certified absolute cnut ) being led out to a police van, handcuffed together and being pelted with faeces to answer 'charges'......

Just my thoughts, BBC lawyers feel free to try sue me. Good luck with that. Oops, gone off-thread again.....

Greg Lake was a member of King Crimson & the dead organist was Keith Emerson of Emerson Lake & Palmer. Emerson used the knives to lock down the keys whilst shaking seven shades of s*it out of the organ spring line. Happy days.
