As a follow-up from our New Wave of British Heavy Metal show I dug into the vinyl vault for an album from one of my favorite bands of that era, Girlschool! The version of the album I have is actually the Canadian version which differs from the original UK version as I talk about in the video. A great album from a great band!

An off the cuff chat about the new release of the 1974 Paul McCartney and Wings Abbey Road sessions that resulted in "One Hand Clapping". I have been listening to the double vinyl album of these long shelved tracks and am loving it. As a lifelong Macca enthusiast I think these are some of the best sessions he ever did! #paulmccartney #wings #onehandclapping Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Two sets of Beatles stamps issued by the Royal Mail in 2007. One set of 6 and one set of 4. Mounted in really nice sheets. I had forgotten I had these!

Given the recent spate of classic rock artists sadly departing us, I thought it would make a nice change to celebrate some belated birthday wishes for some great artists who are most definitely still with us! So let's raise a glass to bass legend Neil Murray who just turned 73, vocal maestro Robert Plant who reached the venerable age of 75, and the baby of the bunch, Alex Lifeson who just turned 70. Happy Birthday gentlemen, and thanks for all the music! #classicrock #neilmurray #robertplant #alexlifeson #whitesnake #ledzeppelin #rush Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

It is with great sadness that I learned of the passing of the legendary Canadian musician Robbie Robertson today, at the age of 80. From his early days with The Band to his influential solo work, Robbie Robertson's contributions to the world of music are immeasurable. Through songs like "The Weight" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" to his later solo hits like "Somewhere Down the Crazy River," every phase of his career has left an indelible mark on classic rock music. Rest in Peace Robbie and thanks for all the music. #robbierobertson #theband #classicrock #theweight #canadianrock #americana #thelastwaltz Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Rest in peace Bernie and thanks for all the music. The rock world lost another great today, with the untimely passing of guitarist, songwriter and producer Bernie Marsden. From his iconic work with Whitesnake to his solo ventures, Bernie's guitar mastery has inspired many musicians. As well as being a masterful rock and blues guitarist Bernie was also writer of classic rock anthems like "Here I Go Again" to "Fool for Your Loving" amongst many others. Bernie's influence endures, and in this short tribute, I celebrate his legacy and the impact he's had on the classic rock music we love. 🎸🤘 #BernieMarsden #RockLegend #guitarhero #classicrock #whitesnake The clip of Bernie playing live comes from a video posted on the excellent Rich Foster channel (https://www.youtube.com/@ISawAShow).

As a decades long Hall and Oates fan, I'm saddened by the legal stuff revealed today, particularly the restraining order against John Oates by Daryl Hall. However the puns write themselves! Let's hope it gets sorted soon. These guys are too old to see it fall apart again.
