Thank you so much for sharing. I clicked your link … Oh, wow. That sax. Marvellous. And Gregory Porter. New discovery for me, unbelievable voice.

Definitely going to listen resp. watch the whole video within the next days :slightly_smiling_face:

Aah… Difficult listening to that one without comparing to a glorious community open mic performance from Jenn @Jenndye429 and Dan :slightly_smiling_face:

Hope the Swedish summer is (has been) a bit better than the Finnish one. We have had way too many happy (rainy) days :umbrella:

Oh, I missed that one. Are the open mic sessions recorded?

Summer’s been pretty nice here as I recall (according to Swedish an Finnish standard anyway). :smiling_face:

And of course Christine McVie (then Christine Perfect) sang with Chicken Shack before joining Fleetwood Mac. Small world!

21

Probably one of The Who’s best songs, great vocals by Roger Daltrey and Keith Moon’s playing is also spot-on:

22

And those standards are not too high :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Yes, you can find recordings of the community open mics here.

Try as I may, I can’t find the one with “only happy when it rains”. Maybe it was in the first mini online gig after all…

Oh…Nicole! Not yet! :pleading_face:

I felt exactly the same when I woke up this morning to the grey November rain outside realizing that it’s back to work on Monday :flushed: Then Rogier’s comment… No . Noooooo… not yet :pleading_face:

Luckily there is a cheerful summer rain song at least :sun_behind_rain_cloud:.

Most people who know the name will likely only to recall Cherry Red but their albums are full to the brim with tasty Blues tracks. Another band from my early teens ! :+1:

And in the 80’s you could see them all (not Christine McVie obvs.) in small pubs in South London including Steve Marriott. I remember standing right in front of Tony McPhee, me with pint in hand totally mesmerised. You need to take out a mortgage now just to buy a pint in a pub…

Chicken Shack with Christine:

It is an awesome symphonic song - The Who meet Emerson, Lake and Palmer - though to me hardly their best. It is a fine song with which to mute one’s strings and practice strumming patterns and dynamics.

I might have dropped a subtle hint :sunglasses: Thanks for picking up on it @stitch

How about: It’s Raining Again by (the underrated) Supertramp…?
