FLY2 10,108 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Exactly ! A stupid and totally unnecessary facility. As is the Remain Anonymous button. Why should anyone be able to see what I'm up to, but I can't see who's anonymous. We don't want possible stalkers on here do we ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Just received 'Holding all the Roses' by Blackberry Smoke. As I can't access 'What are you listening to' I'll post it here. So, if anyone likes Southern Country Rock, with a twinge of humour,then give it a spin ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn 303 Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 In my early to late teens I would frequent the Dungeon and the boat clubs and once did that circuit from Nottingham (before the invention of Northern Soul) to the Mojo and Twisted Wheel. I remember seeing the Small Faces, The Steam Packet, Little Steve Wonder, Gadys Knight and the Pips and many others including my favorite, in terms of one of the most memorable nights of my life, Charlie and Inez Fox. I now live in Memphis. Tennessee is the music capital of the world and I will often visit Nashville for a night out, but, in those old days Memphis was to me some place mythical and wonderful . Apart from Graceland and the Sun Studios there is the Stax Museum. The Stax label and recording studio was where Booker T and the MG’s were the session band, where Otis Reading, Sam and Dave, Wilson Picket and many more too numerous to mention recorded their most famous music. Beale St, which is downtown and a little like a poor relation to Bourbon St inNew Orleans is very near where the Gibson Guitar Factory is located, also plays host to the B B King (not exactly my style) club and restaurant. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you’re on Facebook Martyn, are you on the Dungeon Club Reunion Group, most saw the same acts you’ve mentioned. There are nearly 500 members on the closed group, worth a look. I’ve caught up with loads of people I hadn’t seen for 50 years. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn 303 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 From you posting I am assuming you came to Memphis, did you manage to see the Stax Museum or go to Nashville? Nashville is booming these days and the night life is really good for all types of live music not just country. A couple of years ago I took some old friends who were over visiting from Nottingham and we went to this old fashioned burlesque club / restaurant. When at the bar waiting to be seated this guy who heard us talking came up and asked where we were from and would you believe he was the owner and he came from Worksop, we had a great night. When talking about B B King I was referring to his music, a bit too bluesy for my taste - not enough beat. The club is OK, although I haven’t been there in a while. The last time I was there there was this 70 odd year old guitarist fronting a great group and had a really good time (thinking about it 70 odd ain’t that old now). I’ve avoided Facebook, but my kids are on it, i’ll have a look through them - thanks for the info 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn 303 Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 That must have been good Last night I was speaking to a friend of mine about this website and topic as he is on the board of the Stax museum. He also plays a saxophone in a brass section that backs local soul groups and has played with the MG’s at various fund raising events. Got to get back into this thing 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Martyn 303 Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 You really were a traveller. I only travelled for work and did plenty of that. I would catch whatever I could on the way. HoJo’s, now thats a blast from the past. I don’t think I’ve seen one of those for ages although I stayed in one once in the 60’s while waiting for a ship in Houston. I remember the breakfast was huge and would last you all day. Unrelated, but I went down to Houston a couple weeks ago to see John Cleese - not bad 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Told them about this web site and page and how you guys were promoting tourism to Memphis (I might get a free mug) Y’all famous now! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
