My favourite Ken Colyer Track ~ SUPERB MUSIC,Murray in Scotland.....

[bhoyardee]

2 great songs! Thanks for posting these Colyerfan. I still have the Decca 45 rpm, a bit scratched, but still playable. I had the great pleasure of meeting Ken at a jazz club in Toronto back in the '70s. He used to play at my uncle's pub in Belfast.

I had a 100e van, on quiet night one could hear it rusting..

Love KC and this video, can't help feeling that the audio has been overdone to get rid of the pops and crackles, gives a drainpipe effect. Sorry to be negative

[COLYERFAN]

An early attempt at scratch removal - sorry!

Ah well, I bought mine - my first car - in 1962 and it was already on the downslide. I called it the "Flying Rustbomb". I remember pulling out the choke to climb hills and the wiper (singular) packing up when you exceeded 45 mph. But we had a lot of fun with it during our courting years.

In retrospect I should have said the 1950s as I started going to trad clubs and playing skiffle probably around 1955.

Love your video style, can't wait to see what you put up next :o)

That brings back so many memories of the 60s and especially KC playing at my local trad club. That was great, thanks a lot, keep 'em coming. PS I had an 100E just like that one.

[COLYERFAN]

Yes - my 100E Ford 'Pop' lasted me 7 years from new to rot. Nice to see the similar black one on Heartbeat. Al.

[Pickledix]

Wow ! This is a find. Just a joy.

[COLYERFAN]

Thanks FC. You saw it before I did! Just had my tea.
