City Rocker Posted March 24 Author Report Share Posted March 24 I've just rediscovered my sprightly young 'theme tune' during a YouTube jaunt, which reminded me of when I first got the the internet, well over 25 years ago. The first web search I ever made (on Netscape Navigator IIRC) was 'Bristol City'. I discovered some weird and wonderful places, like CybeReds, the Bristol City Net Centre, and a very primitive version OTIB. My second search was The Clash, where I found some equally oddball sites, including one called Clash City Rockers. What all these static, read-only Web 1.0 pages had in common were rudimentary message boards where visitors could comment and discuss their subject, but you couldn't sign up and register a user name. But people did come up with clever pseudonyms, which they would type in afresh, each time they posted a message. And so my first internet nickname was born from my first two searches on the 'information superhighway'. Of course, we've all moved on now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 Watched Record on , the Specials documentary the other day, brilliant and lovely to see Terry Hall , Horace Panter and Lynval Golding chatting away. I lost interest just before the 2nd album after being mad about the first one , and seeing them at the Locarno . I didn't even know about the album they released in 2019 , watching it had the old feel of around that first album. I've ordered Encore and love this versions of lunatics .

AppyDAZE Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Madness to think that this now has to be classified as "old" music. I call it brilliant, timeless music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Whatever else anyone thinks of the BBC, they have a back catalogue to die for.

BigTone Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Have a friend who is leaving France to return to Scotland. She doesn't want to take her CD's as she uses Spotify etc these days. Asked me if I would take them to which I agreed. Now have a further 3000 cd's in boxes that I am trying to wade through. Currently have some accoustic compilations in the car and am going through Woodstock & Glasto at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Slarti, I wonder whether you or any of the ‘old music’ aficionados on here might be able to help - luckily I checked my punctuation before posting, as I referred to you initially as an ‘old’ music aficionado , so you can thank Miss Taylor for that. Do you have any idea who the drummer was on the Amen Corner link I posted earlier on this thread? I showed the video to my mother when I was last across, but she had no recollection - understandably. I just remember she was always very keen on that ‘lovely, cheeky looking drummer’ and wondered whether he remained with AC or moved on.

Your spelling of his name is correct and, as you suggested, he did indeed join the Bee Gees - in 1973! He was their drummer during their heyday. With thanks and acknowledgment to WIKI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
