Quotebv QuoteMisterO Frankie Valli is 90 and is still touring. Including performing three show's in three days in different cities. I hope to see him perform this September in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Who knows maybe the Stones have 10 plus years a head of them! Did you actually see Frankie Valli (age 90) live on stage? Don't forget that Wyman will be 88 in about 3 weeks time.

QuoteAquamarine I first saw her in the Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, she had amazing longevity as an actress. And was super-cool till the very end. She was also wonderful in Alan Bennett's The Lady in the Van. I VERY much agree! Those are performances for which she should be remembered, rather than the Downton/Potter ones.

QuoteRockman But what gets me is if you're not happy with it why did you give it more oxygen ??? I never, ever, wrote that I was not happy. I'd bothered to read what you posted and I was admitting incomprehension and was seeking meaning in the placing of the posting. If you read my short query another way, then that's your problem.

But such solutions are probably (very) expensive. But that would still be digital which would upset the analogue purists...

If you live outside of the USA or the UK, then getting hold of a real hard copy of this album is something of a challenge. My copy finally arrived yesterday and I've now listened to it..... As ever Bill works with outstanding musicians. The band works really well, and Terry Taylor is, as usual, a standout. The music is just right - very blues influenced. Those are frequent observations

The link points to which is all about the time The Rolling Stones brought Howlin' Wolf to the screens of the USA TV watchers. One of my favourite clips of early Stones. Brian is pretty much jumping up and down with excitement introducing Wolf. Great stuff. The pianist at the start of the Wolf video is a young Billy Preston.
