That sounds embarrassing…

That was nice, thank you!  Whose version of "Snowfall" was that?

Faces – A Nod's As Good As A Wink...To A Blind Horse Listening to this whilst the kids are in the bath, being unusually well behaved. It is one of my favourite rock records, largely for its sloppy stupidity, and young Rod Stewart's vocal performance.  Great record. My wife is currently on an Albert Collins kick. Even in these days of hipster ubiquity, one of the most uniquely dressed men of all time.  Legendary.  I was lucky enough to have an English lit teacher when I was 7 who had the whole class reading Inglan is a Bitch. I have very strong memories of reading it and marvelling over the different meanings of "beech". Obviously he couldn't be "bitch", as that was rude. Was it "beech", as it was spelt, or perhaps "beach", with savage irony? I remember the classroom scene like yesterday, although it was decade ago.  The teacher made a big deal about having had to go deep into Brixton to purchase it in pamphlet form (to our 7 year old ears, a legendary no go zone). It was the late 1980s, when London certainly was rougher, but I have often wondered how much of that was actually true and how much of it was just about casting a glamour over impressionistic kids.  Years later, I was speaking to an uncle from the part of my family who remained in SA after Sharpsville. Apparently this record was one of the few that got through the Nationalists' cultural restrictions of the time, and it was a huge deal in the anti-apartheid movement. Reggae along with House was one of the most important foreign influences on South African music post-apartheid, and this record was apparently one of the main influences on the likes of Lucky Dube and other legends of that era.

Facebook posts from a Remler expert. Cisco is apparently a Willis Jackson tune called Gator Whale and not the tune recorded by Pat Martino and later by Emily and Larry Coryell (as Gerry's Blues) Samba de Orfeo is actually Meditation So What is actually Moanin' Again, I have yet to hear the CD but the poster seems reliable.

I thought it was great that you did it!  People doing the BFT's generally listen before reading the commemtary anyways.
