Timbuk3 - 'Future's so bright I gotta wear shades'. Good album as well, as far as I remember... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qrriKcwvlY 11/09/2012 (UK) Long story - a friend and I were trying to work out who the lady was playing piano on 'Mouldy Old Dough' by Lieutenant Pigeon - just don't ask - From that I checked out Mrs Mills and Winifred Attwell on youtube. Ok - three tracks from Winifred Attwell - WHAT a ragtime player, with SERIOUS attitude. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJagAMtp6AE&list=LPvZzyHhzs4oo&index=1&feature=plcp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O50GfY29Iaw&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo37ZlHGvRw&feature=related And a medley from Mrs Mills - great singalong pub player. Both of them VERY popular in the 1950's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_NyzG-dan4 Why don't they do music like that on Sunday lunchtime in pubs anymore? Certainly did in my local in London in the late 1970's. They had an old girl there who could play ANYTHING after about 6 pints of milk stout!! And we used to do a 'whoever turned up' acoustic band behind it. There was an old geezer who was the most astounding spoons player I have ever seen. Then the pub closed at two and everybody staggered home ......................... Those Sunday lunchtimes ended when that generation died. No fun any more!!!!!. 'Get us another Milk will you love?' If any pub round here was doing anything like that - even I would turn up every Sunday................................................................. 10/09/2012 (UK) Steve Gibbons Band - 'You can't catch me' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Crp5X-O94g You don't lose it!! 08/09/2012 (UK) John Hiatt and The Perfectly Good Guitar Band.
