        @GraemeE Damn,Sorry,I’ve got nothing,never even saw him,met him and one of my closest friends was his personal assistant for years. I’m sure she could write a book with her stories.

          @GraemeE This is kind of like one degree of separation. Genya Ravan(Former lead singer with a band called Ten Wheel Drive)had signed a production deal with Media Sound Studios in NYC. It was her job to go out and find new bands and bring them to the studio and produce demos for them with the agreement that if they got signed as a result of those demos they’d record their album at the studio. An engineer there said I saw this band Sorrows at CBGBs you should check them out. Fast forward…She’s late getting to a session,she comes in all out of breath and excited because she had just been singing back up vocals on a song for Lou Reeds new album. And she thought it was the craziest/funniest thing that he had them sing…And the colored girls go. Do Da Do etc. etc. Had no idea as to what she was talking about and then the song comes out. We did get signed as a result of those demos,and recorded our first album at that studio. She didn’t produce our album,but she did produce The Dead Boys Young,Loud,and Snotty.

            @Jett129 there we go - that's what I was looking for

            You go from not having any good stories to an anecdote about the recording of one of the most iconic songs of the early 70s

            10 out of 10 👏 👏

                  @GraemeE Had to look up Joe Meek. There was another band with the same name,and maybe he worked with them. Definitely not us.

                          @Brian when they happen, those connections to our parent’s youth before we were around can reshape our opinions of them - or at least help to see them in a new light.

                            We always had records playing growing up singles or lps
                            It’s what made my love of music really even if my taste didn’t align with my parents taste

                                    Jacob knows how to turn everything on and load up a record etc and how to set the needle
                                    Not sure my taste is his taste but he never turns anything off that he puts on and it’s all a damn sight better than the commercial radio junk he would otherwise hear

                                        “Walter's innovations helped redefine the harmonica and changed the way people viewed the instrument. Before Walter, harmonicas were considered toys and cost a dime, but after him they were viewed as instruments and cost $5”

                                        -from a Google answer to “what makes little Walter harmonica playing unique”

                                          @Aetas I'm with you 100% on that, some great albums there, I've got my eye on Space Funk 2 as my next purchase from them.

                                          Check out Daptone Records if you get a chance, I've seen quite a few of there artists live over the years and they are so good (unfortunately a few - Sharon Jones, Charles Bradley, Naomi Shelton to name a few are no longer with us)
