What are you listening to?

So was this done with the aid of VCV Rack and electric guitar/bass? I would be interested in seeing the patch if it was. A very good cover version of the track!

Many a time I have walked home from gigs from Bradford in the early 80s from Bradford to Huddersfield 14 miles. God what was I thinking, back when I was into 2Tone groups.

a little New Orleans style jazz

Cheers, no that cover was just using hardware synths, Hydrasynth, Minilogue XD and TR-8S plus my Jazzmaster and some DAW and plugin effects.

I lived in Yorkshire for twelve years, four of them in Bra(t)ford so I know the area well. I’d still be living in York if work hadn’t dried up. I like to feel I still cared as much about music as I used to, but thinking back I can’t. I’d probably have sacrificed body parts to get into certain gigs and thought it was worth it.

I feel the same, is it just ‘old fogey talk’ but the music in my youth seemed so vibrant and all consuming but now I have to be in the right mood.

For example I bought a Courettes CD because I liked the fuzz guitar via YouTube videos, yet when I played the CD for the 1st time, it just didn’t move me! Just contrariness or just got more moody, not sure.

Oh god yes it’s old fogey talk. Kids today can definitely get as hyped up on bands and artists as I was in my day.

Same with me when I saw Zappa in London in 1985. I went straight from the train to work for 6:30am and was 5 minutes late. The boss was not impressed until I told him I was still in London at 2am.

Actually I just checked to see if my memory was playing tricks and the last real milk train stopped running in 1981. I guess they just kept getting called that! All I know is they stopped at every damned stop, even the ones in the middle of fields with no-one for miles that no-one gets on or off at.

That’s the one - 2am ish from St Panceras in my case.

Oddly, I’m listening to Ham Radio Operators on shortwave via K3FEF Software Defined Radio Web Portal

Great ! Thank You for the tip.

I’m looking for my trumpet :sunglasses:
