Benny Hill was the man over here in the states Funny Funny

Try as hard as I could, it was near on impossible to remeber the Dave Allan jokes the next morning and yet he could go on for how ever many fags and whiskey glass refills.

Very talented man.

Skip you have amazingly good taste for someone with castironitis.
Same tastes as mine.
Good stuff.

Skip, that one by Goanna certainly brings back a lot of memories for me.  I remember it well and all of the controversy when it originally came out.

Mate of mine played bass in the band,
Good times,brings back old muso's memories :D

Do you remember The Denvermen, Skip.  Early sixties.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4xc_SqXgSU

I don't remember them Derek but they are great I'll have a bit of a squizz at them on youtube.
I really dig this era and the surf tunes-very under rated in my opinion.

Thanks for the link.

Skip :) :) :) :)

Then the sixties wouldn't be the same without Col Joy, Little Pattie and Johnny O'Keefe

Then their was that good bass voice of Peewee Clark.

The most over rated and under talented singer of our era. He should have been put in gaol for false pretenses, taking money for singing (?)

And the modern Mr Bassman.  :-*

O my lord...  Watching the Deltones in the pink tux's has been a hoot.  I toured with them in 83 I think...   I seem to recall the final event of the tour was an outdoor show at the old Toowoomba Showgrounds (which was recorded by Jands for a live album)...

Pretty simple really...

I was asked to tour as an assistant sound engineer (Read: general sh!tkicker and gaffer tape dispenser and occasional guitar tuner) by a mate of mine who was the foldback engineer, and did the east coast tour on the 1983? tour.  I recall that they had just reformed...

The gig at the showgrounds was pretty special for me as it was my home town, and it was being recorded.  That was the start of an interest in studio based work and a continued interest in it thru to my time working in theatre as a stage manager (who dabbled/worked in lighting design and sound design).

I look at how hard it was to get the recording down for that show, and think to how easy it is for me to plug unto a sound desk now and digitally mix it at home...  WOW!!!

What I remember of the Delltones, was a group of guys who just wanted to play music, have fun, and they loved the applause... And they provided lots of liquid sustenance...  :-? :-? :-?

I think the album recorded was the basis of the "Tickled Pink" album, as the band wore pink for the tour...

Does that fill in the gaps???   :D :D

Thanks Rastas,

Great Blackcat, would have been a great time!

Was just surfing youtube and came across this classic-watched a movie on Saturday night & this was the theme-

Crap movie by the way "The Lost" ;D

Here is another of his songs

No doubt about it that sucker could sing- did he have much of a career?

Skip

Like a lot of them he seemed to disappear after a while.

Do you remember the Dave Clark Five.  Same era.

Remember this bloke.  It was rumoured that he was a millionaire before he started singing.

These fellas would all be in their 60's now.

I remember Mrs. Palmer

Then there was Eric Burdon And The Animals.  This is the House Of The Rising Sun.  All about a young guy and a brothel.

When this came out I was a teen who regularly went to a Church Youth Group.  We used to sing the words of the 23rd Psalm to this tune,  Try it.

The Lord's my shepherd
I'll not want
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green he leadeth me
The quiet waters by

etc ...................  Bugga I still remember ;D ;D ;D ;D

House of the Rising Sun Lyrics....

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

------ organ solo ------

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

hi i been trying to find the benny hill song ernie for many years to play to my son , thank you
