Mike and Bernie Winters were always a second rate Morecambe & Wise Lol. there's a story (don't know if it's true) but Morecambe and Wise were on a chat show and the host asked them what they would have been if they weren't comedians and Eric Morecambe replied "Mike and Bernie Winters".

and talking of birds (!) here's David Crosby describing seeing the Coltrane Quartet at a club date in the US.
Elvin Jones, the Quartet's drummer (and a big influence on Mitch Mitchell) has just started a solo and Croz is extremely stoned...

For anyone who's interested, this is a stunning version of My Favourite Things by the John Coltrane Quartet with Eric Dolphy. I first heard this over 40 years ago (thanks Dad) and it's mind blowing. At 7.55 ish. Dolphy comes in. It's already got fairly far out in places, Trane has taken it to the ed...

Hi Question for Lord Reith and anyone else on the board. The animals' rendition of My favourite Things you mentioned in a post in the box of Harry. Where is the song from and Did the Animals record it - on what CD or is it a live performance only. Is there a cd of the Animla on the BBC ???? Greg Pr...

All I recall is that the article was focussed on Brian and th...

It’s a good documentary, already bootlegged by FAB. Jones was an interesting character, really driven as far as the blues goes. You can see how his look inspired a whole host of sixties bands, particularly in the USA - just look at the Byrds when they first started out. Lennon claimed to have pulle...

Thanks for that bit of information about Easy Beat. Wondering if you know who they shared the bill with.

Kenny Lynch, Maureen Evans, The Clyde Valley Stompers and The Eric Delaney Band were the other 20th October 1963 guests on Easy Beat.

Mr Bathtubes was gainfully employed on a variety of shows - Saturday Club, Top Gear, Top Of The Pops (trans. disc series), Easy Beat for the BBC plus Thank Your Lucky Stars (ITV series) and a number of Radio Luxembourg series. The good thing with transcription service discs TOTP or POTP for your DJ...
