@alfiesgirluk Yes, that was pure genius, whether it was Jennifer's scripting or Jane's ad- libbing, it was totally hilarious.

Yes, on 16th May 1992 my band Gemstone were playing at the Swanley Workingmens Club in Kent and I had the great honour of passing my faithful old Stratocaster to "Crispy" and he did a blinding version of this song to all and sundry, as he used to frequent that club quite often. It was so sad to h...

I had watched Liberace's version of it prior to this and, although Lee was a well respected pianist both classical and honky-tonk, he tended to go off at a tangent quite often, so it was great to hear it played straight and uncomplicated, and as I said before, absolutely beautifully.

I'll never forget her holding that tortoise when it pooed on her, she is so adorable, what a treasure. I'm sure if Cowell hadn't discovered her, someone else would have done.

I was so knocked-out by this tune when I heard it that I saved up all my pocket money to buy the 45 and I didn't even have a gramophone to play it on. I've got one now, though......

From their Jigsaw album, which has great versions of Maria Elena and Stardust, absolutely brilliant.

When Queen/David Bowie recorded Under Pressure, I bet John Deacon never realised just how popular that little bass riff would be.........

I like that little all-girl quartet playing in the club. It would be good to know who they are.

@Ra1nemaker It' came out originally on a 45 around 1960 called Piano Party and it's now included on a CD called Winifred Atwell's Party Medleys, there's some really great stuff on it. Hope this helps.

@fuzzypige222 I think the album you're referring to is Red Rose Speedway with the brilliant "My Love" on it.

@Wilfslad Yes, her name's Stella Tanner

@Cryofax Yes, how could I have forgotten her?, and I also forgot Kate O'Mara, who met a rather nasty end from Carmilla/Marcilla/Mircalla. I think this film ranks with The Devil Rides Out as best Hammer film, well, in my opinion, anyway..........

@njriley55 Thanks njriley55, a brilliant bit of deduction there, so Paul was the hippo all along. Ha ha, they had a brilliant sense of humour, well I suppose you only have to listen to Harrison's "Piggies" on the White Album for proof of that. I wonder if he had help from his mate Eric Idle when ...

"I exterminated him, put him in the curry" Spike's humour was pure genius.

This is British comedy at its best, only Spike would have thought of a piano with just one key on it.

Yes, his name is John Bluthal, He used to impersonate Hughie Green in the hilarious idiot scout sketch which I think was in Q6

Yes, I joined a club band called Gemstone after leaving CRISP in 1983 (They went to Butlins, Pwhelli) but had to stop at the end of 2005 as I developed an infection in my left leg and had to have it amputated, otherwise, I would still be doing it now. Oh well, I've got some great memories, and I ...

It's great to hear these lovely tunes. It seems a pity that none of her party LPs made it onto CDs

What a great rocking performance and great soloing, especially Ken Nicol.

Why can't we hear songs like this now? What a beautiful clear vocal from John

Yes, what a brilliant drummer Moonie was, his style was so different to the standard rock drummer, as he actually listened to what Pete was doing and put his own stamp on it.. Bell Boy is a brilliant example, as is Baba O'Riley. Sadly missed RIP Moonie.

This number illustrates what a brilliant solid bass player Jimmy Lea is

I remember Russ having a regular slot on the Light Programme (remermber that?) back in those days, and along with a singer called Eddie Falcon, Bert was a regular guest playing things like Guitar Boogie Shuffle. There was a guitarist on some of Winnie's old tracks, but it is obviously not Bert......

This has got to be the very best arrangement of this classic tune. Russ is sadly missed.

Yes, I was there, and what a brilliant sound. They generate so much excitement in their playing and even the jokes between numbers with Simon and Peggy get the crowd going. I went to the Half Moon every year up till about 2000 and you could bump into Richard Thompson, Ralph McTell and the lovely ...

Yes, just listen to the brilliant bass notes on Winchester Cathedral, only she could find notes like that. You're dead right, that was a brilliant album.

If this was the "B" side, what was the "A" side?

What a brilliant idea to play a run of diminished chords at the intro to simulate a steam train, pure genius.

But there are more than 3 chords in this song.........

I suspect it's his mandolin, he's always doubled on mandolin on things like Flatback Caper. Quite a talented guy is Peggy.....

Me again (Sorry) I think a popular name for it is "Asia Minor"
