Pickled Egg Jukebox-Your Selections

[NewcastleFalcon]

Let's see if we can come up with 10 music related names based on the LNER route that we could use to name the trains. Artist, title, lyrics, famous concerts, anything goes.

.......The Who - Live At Leeds
The Housemartins - London 0, Hull 4

Heres my assembled list

1 London- "Londoner" Maybe its because I'm a Londoner-The Whistling one which introduced Dixon of Dock
Green before 1960
2 Peterborough "Peebo" Peabo Bryson and Celine Dion Beauty and the Beast
3 Darlington "The Loco-Motion" Little Eva
4 Doncaster "Doncaster Lass" Richard Thompson "The Sights and Sounds of London Town"
5 York "The unforgettable fire" U2 "Comemorating the lightning stike and fire York Minster"
6 Durham "From Langley Park to Memphis" Prefab Sprout (Durham lads the McAloons of Witton Gilbert)
7 Newcastle "The Water of Tyne" Kathryn Tickell
8 Edinburgh "Sunshine on Leith" Proclaimers

I was going to offer The Proclaimer's - King Of The Road, or maybe Dean Martin's version, but instead I've settled for this. Why ? Because both songs mention Bangor (Maine). Why Bangor ? Because it's (more or less, give or take) 3000 miles from here

From my list

..the only place I can find the whistling George Dixon is on an episode on youtube from the mid 50's. So rather than bog down the PE jukebox with a half-hour 1950's Police drama I'll put it on On TV.

and here it is viewtopic.php?p=646648#p646648

But worth a nostalgic listen to the first couple of minutes. In a strange parallel with the final episode of Ashes to Ashes PC George Dixon after being fatally shot in the Blue lamp by Dirk Bogarde, did not hinder him in carrying on for a few series of Dixon of Dock Green.

My POTD linked with Dougie Maclean, and autoplay took me to one of his classic songs. He "wrote it on a beach in his early 20's when he was feeling a little homesick". It is one of those songs which for me just stir up emotion.

There are many versions and Lisa Kelly's from Celtic Woman is superb, but Dougie a few years on with a guitar and a few friends is what it played onto today....

Elvis did loads of them, the Beatles did a couple and the Dave Clark 5 did this, and had a trip to Devon

Youngest daughter is sick of more modern stuff (like Kate Bush, not modern as in contemporary) and singing and asked for recommendations for classical stuff. I compiled half a dozen playlists the seem to have drifted off to Patti Smith and thence Bob Dylan, who I see was recently 79.
I must be getting old

[Hell Razor5543]

My cousin has pointed me in the direction of this lot. If you have a problem with them nip over to the Isle of Wight and discuss it with her!

[NewcastleFalcon]

Well at least they seemed to be enjoying themselves.....

And here is Doctor Magnus Pike in a music video;

Heard twice on Classic FM - unusually the only two times it has been played.

Parce mihi, Domine


Unfortunately this is a cover of the one on CFM, where it was the Hilliard Ensemble with Jan Garbarek and the sax was sublime. Another order for Amazon

[Gibbo2286]

Must clean my glasses, I thought you wrote 'the sex was sublime'

Two tracks from the Beatles I have come across recently, which completely bypassed me. Helter Skelter, and this I want you (she's so heavy). Noisy discordant, heavy, tremendous bass, strained screeched vocals at times, unexpected and a superb end where the silence is part of it. Not an easy listen but an excellent track in my opinion.

The Charles Manson "Helter Skelter" was a mystery to me for years. I did have the white album but it is another one that has gone AWOL.

[NewcastleFalcon]

Its the 9th of June. but not 1862 on Summer Afternoon.

Blaydon Races day so I'll give you a Why Aye Man! from Newcassel!
