Load of Starlings on my back, had a dozen young on the guttering last week. Lot of Sparrows too.

Being on the road all day most days, last summer I saw a large increase of splats on the windscreen which was hugely encouraging. This year hardly any.

It is largely due to the constant rain we had for almost a year until the early summer. Many caterpillar larvae failed, food for many birds, blue tit nesting largely failed with nonfood for the young. Butterfly’s the same the rain had a massive effect, they have shown a bit of late but nothing like the numbers there should be. but blackbirds and robins that feed on worms etc have thrived because of the wet damp weather. when hiking, the peat bogs have not dried out this year, still very boggy and still water running off the moors and hills, can see big problem with floods if we have an autumn, winter and spring like the last couple.

I think the vocal is great

It has male backing whereas the two 45s have none

all good here mate, likewise I trust

A mix I did of Lamont tracks and his writing recorded by others when he dies two years ago https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/karlwhite/episodes/2024-08-12T12_37_56-07_00

Don't really remember Butch getting behind Joseph Webster tbh, was around in the 80s and hammered in the 00's by others

It went to JV from JA, back to JA then to Butch The Ann Heywood is a different Artist on a west coast label, the other side he plays more which is far better.

the acetates turned up later, '89 so quite possibly/probably

Dave withers the first with that covered up as Lorraine Chandler. It was amongst the first batch of unissued Motown to turn up on the tapes from @Robbk given to Rod Shard.

As good and far cheaper than The United Sounds

The piano intro is very similar to Sweetest Feeling

GC at Yarmouth

As mentioned by @The Yank and a great video by Rob of one of the anthems of the 80s Soul scene

This is great, Paul's isolated vocal and just the bass

This is fabulous

Excellent video telling his story

Father and son

Not my favourite by him but it shows the soul of the man
