Welcome to my blog - can't believe I'm doing this at my age - still - as no-one will read it, why not - sort of diary really. Anyone who recognises "Morgan's Mutterings" will know I used to write under that name for the TVR Car Club magazine. The idea of this blog is to look at the world - but not too seriously - and maybe learn some lessons from it.
So first lesson - went to a gig last night by Viva Santana (tribute band). They were amazing. From where I was sitting one of the band looked like they should have been serving at Focus DIY store, one looked like he would have been happier sawing a plank of wood in two and another looked like a real geezer from down the pub - and with apologies to all concerned because they were actually amazing and truly talented musicians - so never judge someone by their appearance - it's what's inside that counts!
Oh - and a second lesson from this - always sit closer to the stage or remember to take your glasses!!
Difficult to name all time favourite rock bands in a 1-2-3 order, but certainly in the top 10 would be Santana (of course), Stones, Who, Led Zep, Quo, Queen, Cream, Manfred Mann (and derivatives e.g.Manfreds/Paul Jones's Blues Band) - after them I would be considering Animals, Them, Beatles etc - so really showing my age!!
ReplyDeleteBest Gig - difficult one - Manfreds with Joe Cocker and Long John Baldrey was good, as were a couple of Elkie Brookes concerts. We Will Rock You was also excellent although more of a show. No Viva Santana was not the only one!!
