Norman Verona Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Comedians. Morecombe and Cooper, we'll never see comedians like that again. The sort that make you laugh out loud by just standing there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarmanUK Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 An odd one and maybe not an art form per ce, but I really admire people who are good with words. Not only the written word but the spoken word as well. As mentioned, any musician who seems at one with their instrument. As a guitarist of some 30 years I am totally in awe at some of the talent out there. Not just the obvious names like Clapton, Vai, Carlton, etc but some young players like Jess Lewis who is just an awesome talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Verona Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Isaac Guillory came to our folk club several times. Like some people I listen to music with my eyes closed, it helps concentrate. The first time he appeared, the folk club was held in the upstairs room at the local pub, I had been told he was something special. His first few numbers were good, very good. Then he seemed to be playing a tape as it sounded like two guitars were playing. Opened my eyes to see him playing both ends of his guitar. Fantastic sound. Unfortunately, he's no longer with us, but I have several of his cds and listen in awe a few times a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I once saw a Segovia "live" solo performance at a small theatre in Bolton , he was 80 something yrs old but could still play the song of the guitar . I could listen to Fats Waller all day long ( inspired Lennon & McCartney amongst others ) Louis Armstrong was a sell out performer for over 50 years , many tried to emulate him , all failed Duke Ellington Rocks along with Count Basie Benny Goodman Django Rheinhart Merseysippi Jazzmen Singers with added talent , Nat Cole ,George Formby , Acker Bilk , Sam Shed Paul McCartney Cant stand any of the modern talentless electrified rubbish of today , all DJ's should be shot at birth , bring back proper "live" music Art... I like both modern and classical , but has to be something I wish I had the talent to do, not just arranging a pile of bricks or throwing a tin of paint on a wall . I realy admire those who paint and it looks like a photgraph ( how on earth ? ) and those who paint with spots and stripes yet still look like a photograph (how do they do that ?

Norman Verona Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Bernie, agree with all of those and have cd's of most. However you left out the best.... Miles Davis. I was listening to "Kind of Blue" this morning and still can't understand how one man can make music like that. ed to add that I posted this before the drivers got mentioned. Just in case anyone thinks Miles Davis was a racing driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham0127 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Blimey....I feel ten feet tall.....................Still doing trackdays & crashing ,but I guess it`s in me.It`s the main reason I got a Westie.............fed up falling off...well wife fed up with me falling off !Both of my little kids 6 & 8 have bikes and eldest one is pretty quick....won`t know how quick though until he`s on a 125.My dad raced,like me road,track and motox(good fitness) and my 8 year old already feels the need for speed.Luckily mum`s very supportive and has no issues. Remember Steve McQueen`s saying..`racing is life,everything else is waiting`.I`m 53 and still wanna race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
