Was at that Quadraphenia tour myself mate, but we travelled down to Brum for it. PJ Proby playing the rocker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not talented or musical at all but after watching the Fleetwood Mac documentary my opinion is that Buckingham is a craftsman of his art……it was fascinating listening to him talk about small details in the studio, how he could sit and listen to a track and decide it needed a guitar sound here or a piano sound there for just the briefest second, letting you listen to the before & after and it changes the whole song entirely….i could listen to people like that all day. Talking of which, I’ve always been a big fan of drummers and Mick Fleetwood was one of my favourites, his drums in “Go your own way” are one of my favourites…..amongst my myriad favourites !

Yeah it's amazing to watch and listen to truly talented people eh mate.. as you know I pissed around in bands for quite a few years and even locally I was in awe of some of the people I played with, I wished I had their natural talent, mine was bravado and hard graft...some people just make it look easy.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But as far as voice and impact, it doesn't get any better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

His place is spot on, lovely historic gaff in East Sussex and is set up to keep him pottering about at something all the time….obviously he has a couple of blokes who work for him so it’s tidy. I had a drive round his farm and trout lake and then upto the house, got given the tour…it’s exactly what your boy off the plot made good but who ain’t flash would have….old England, classy. I fished there a few times. One day l was fluff chucking as per the rules of his trout lakes when a couple of lads appeared. They both set up float rods baited with worms or maggots and started hauling out a trout almost every cast. Along came Roger Daltrey in some little buggy thing who WHO had a word in their ears . He then came over to me, apologised , and told me one the lads was his son and that he'd been told not to do" that sort of thing in front of the paying punters." To be honest l did like him for some reason. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seagull 298 Posted Thursday at 21:33 Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 21:33 A massively underrated band, old Noddy had a great voice as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
