Steve S 60

Very good. Not what you'd call a soul crowd, probably a lot of literary types there, it being part of a book festival. Stuart was introduced by a presenter from BBC Radio Cumbria, who asked a few questions of his own. The author concentrated primarily on Young Soul Rebels, but did a preamble on Detroit 67, and its connection to the new book. Stuart read a few extracts from the book, gave a bit of background on himself, how he got into the scene, told a few anecdotes about his experiences as a soul fan, record collector, student and author. Don't want to go into any specifics in case Stuart has plans to hold further audiences, but I would imagine he's got countless tales to tell, and would tailor things to suit the audience, based around the Q & A session at the end. Found it entertaining and informative, and also quite emotional in parts. Thoroughly recommended, and looking forward to the new book, Memphis 68.

Daptone has managed to achieve a nice retro look on its label and subsidiaries...?

They also said it was unsinkable.

Andrea Ko, who is a member on here, is an inhabitant of that fine city. He'd probably know.

Not really, I just know my clowns. Nice to meet you sir.

Just like Pagliaccio did, I try to keep my sadness hid - Smokey Robinson.

Just like Pagliaccio the Clown, Don't you know, sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down.

To be honest, I'm not bothered if anybody replaces "us" or not. None of my three kids are into the scene and that's fine by me. I wasn't intending bringing up a bunch of mini me's. I'm quite happy to see youngsters on the scene, but one thing's for sure, they're inheriting a scene that is a very sanitised version of what it was in the 60's through to the 80's. Again, that's fine if that's what they want. More likely a signs of the times, and things are going to get more chilled as we all mellow with age. On the other hand, maybe they can't wait for us to roll over so they can have it all to themselves. Thing is, there's such a wide range of ages evident on the scene today due to its longevity. Looking around the venue I attended on Saturday night, I felt positively young (at 55)! In the meantime, l'll keep on keeping on until it's quitting time.

The man can't even get the name of the venue right. It's the Poplar Club, not the Popular Club as used in the article title, although he manages to correct his mistake later on.

Think you're right, it's rumoured to be James Moore, but Moses and Joshua sounds good because of the biblical connection.

Enjoyed the recent thread about duets. How about groups / duos made up of family members, like Moses and Joshua Dillard, Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose, Sly and the Family Stone?

I for one wish the learned gentlemen every success in his endeavours. Will the resultant findings be available to the general public?
