You must have some very good market stalls in your part of Switzerland. I am picturing it as being sorta Camden like wot it used to be with a tall mountain or two near whatever the equivalent is to Dingwalls.

(I fully accept that most mountains are tall but assume yours are taller than the CD towers from Argos)

Did love Mink Deville although I only really know the first album. Did I mention that I had tickets for a Stevie Ray Vaughan in London back in the 80s but it was cancelled. Bugger! Just like my Quo 40th anniversary tickets!

Do you know Robin Bibi? A shorter SRV but a real worker and been gigging for years as well as having worked with loads of top names.

And just about to watch the Reginald D Hunter Song of the South on BBC2. I saw the first part but missed the second. This is the third.

Bibi really looks like Vaughan.

I was watching one episode of Song of The South. Hunter interviewed Lynyrd and Arrested Developement. Was that the second episode?

Dunno. Tonight he had Dr John, Steve Cropper, Allen Toussaint, Irma Thomas, Seasick Steve and played loads of stuff like Creedance, Bobbie Gentry.

Incidentally our Eurovision entry is very Southern Jazz.

I caught the Dr. John bit of today's episode which is great because "The Doctor" is one of my faves.

I've no idea who is going to be Switzerland's act for this year's edition of Eurovision Song Farce.

Haven't heard it and would like to know if you reckon it is any good. It can't be as brilliant as the original!

"Irish Heartbeat". Fantastic. Especially "My Lagan Love".

No one yet no one else sings as he does on that track:

I've mentioned Joe Bonamassa before I think.

Look on his website and you'll get a free download.

As a facebook friend I've also got a free download album too.

I see that Daevid Allen of Gong has died at the age of 77 on Friday 13th.

I bought Flying Teapot on CD a few weeks ago in a charity shop but haven't got around to playing it yet and I used to have Camembert Electrique as one of those first Virgin releases for 49p.
