A PS to yesterday’s post.
Let me pick up on the comments which appear after my waffle, treated as one item ie replies 20 - 28
I’m 100% sure Chris is correct….NO ONE professionally ( or personally I think ) has ever had any input into the DS website ( or associated ) and I've no idea who put ANY of the DS/MK info up there ( I’m not talking about MK News or similar).
So take all of it with a HUGE “pinch of salt” as we say here in the UK.
The “ Robinson Library “ page is a good example of what I mean ..first time I've bothered to look and definitely the last.
Let's play a game …
I will give you the number of mistakes per para, you guess what they are.
PARA 1 ….3.
PARA 2 ….5 ( some huge ones)
PARA 3 ….2 ( plus several non mentions of related subjects)
PARA 4 ….1
PARA 5 ….OK!
PARA 6 ….2
PARA 7 ….Andy Kavanan, apparently copied from similar mis-informed posts.
PARA 8 ….2
PARA 9…..OK!
PARA 10….2
Now these are not earth shattering mistakes/omissions and nobody will lose sleep but 17 errors…...nearly all of which are easily checkable and in the case of PARA 2 sloppy ( chronology for example ) …...is alot for one pretty short piece which purports to be encyclopedic .
Let’s see if any of you can get, say, ten of them.
First prize …..one of my drumsticks.
Second prize…the other one.
Picking up on Chris W’s point ( 26) I have played drums with Alexis Korner, Champion Jack Dupree, Jess Conrad , Mogul Thrash/AWB, Eric Clapton ( a rehearsal which I fucked up ), Dire Straits ( many sound-checks ), NHB’S ( obviously), Lonnie Donegan, and I don’t have a credit list AT ALL.
Re Terry…I stand corrected, had forgotten and that was a fun night.
That’s it pop pickers.
