As I keep saying, this stuff isn't mine and may very well be pulled for breach of copyright. You can, of course, go looking on YouTube, or its variants, for other copies. I'm sure you know how.
Anyway, we have now reached the Ns and if you've been following any of my internet footprint you won't be surprised by this mixed bag of classy tunes:
1st up is a nice R&B&NW type boogie number with some nice harp accompanying the guitars.
I possibly heard hem in John Peel's/Alexis Korner's/Paul Jones' radio shows. Being a Quo fan I always had my ears peeled for this sort of stuff.
Originally released in 1956 by Big Walter Price and his Thunderbirds. Yeah, yeah, never heard of them.
Next up is something German (quelle surprise). Not her 99 but something entitled Irgendwie Irgendwo Irgendwann by Nena:
Triple whammy time - Nazareth, Scotland and slide guitar! My formative years would have been the 60s but as I moved away from hearing background sounds to listening to them, an uncle of mine got me listening to Quo, Nazareth, Floyd and Yes. There follows one of several fine tunes belted out by our Dan.
Hmm, time for another bit of German? Of course. Guess what, it combines another favourite - EUROVISION. Not from 1982 but Nicole is still going strong and here she is from 2016 with a few more languages thrown in to emphasise what we seem to be missing in these turbulent times.
And to close we have a bit of a cross-over - Glam/Punk/New Wave? Covering an old Bo Diddly tune with some more harp, I give you the New York Dolls.
As usual, feel free to add your thoughts whether you agree with me or not. It would be helpful to know what you think and if you want this to take any particular direction.
