Names

[Ms Diddles]

My dad was a jazz fan in his younger days and saw Acker Bilk and Kenny Ball as well as Louis Armstrong, Oscar Peterson and his favourite Ella Fitzgerald. I like a bit of jazz (although rock music is my personal favourite) and i just bought a reasonably priced 10 dc set with 17 full albums. One of them is an album that Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong did together plus around 5 bonus tracks which come from a second album they did together. Great stuff.

Im a big prog rock fan and the last gig that I went to was the band Focus.

Wow, Herlock!

It sounds like your dad got to see all the greats!

What a hit list!

I'm pretty eclectic in my music tastes, but I must admit that prog rock is one genre that I have never been able to acquire a taste for.

My partner loves it, but it seems like every time we watch anything about Prog, some middle aged man pops up dressed as a warlock (usually Rick Wakeman) and I start giggling and taking the p@#s!!!

We have an ongoing debate regarding Pavlov's Dog though.

I love them and say they have nothing whatsoever to do with Prog!!

He says they are indeed Prog.

The boundaries can be blurred!!!

The singer with Pavlov's Dog divides opinion. I've only got the album Pampered Menial which I haven't played for ages.

The boundaries certainly can be blurred. My brother prefers Indie music and certainly wouldn't consider himself a proggie but he likes Radiohead who are considered prog. Like me he also loves Marillion. I dragged him to see Yes once. He went out of the arena to use the bathroom, bought and ate a slice of pizza, bought and drank a bottle of beer, bumped into an ex-schoolfriend and had a chat and returned to his seat to find that they were still playing the same song. He wasn't impressed.

Indeed! That falsetto voice on Davis Suhrkamp is a bit marmite!

Pampered Menial was one of my favourite albums when I was a teenager. It always brings back fond memories of house-sitting in Berlin with a pal, blasting it out on the balcony whilst smoking Gitanes, drinking red wine and thinking we were terribly grown up and bohemian!

Pretentious twats!!!

Hahaha! That concert sounds fairly typical of Yes.

I'm with your brother on that one!

I picked up Tales from Topographic Oceans at a record fair (again as a teenager), but it wasn't really my bag so much.

Hi Herlock - nothing but the best for your dad!

On a different front, I'm now checking out Skeeter Davis following the BBC using her The End of the World to promote a forthcoming programme. Great voice - and name.

Best regards,
OneRound

Probably my favourite Yes album.....and Rick Wakeman’s least favourite.

Hi OneRound,

When I first saw the name written down I thought it was a man. Sounds like an old blues singer.

Yep, or out of The Muppets or Banana Splits!

OR

[Damaso Marte]

Damaso Marte was a professional baseball player in the mid-2000's, he had a great season in 2003 and earned my admiration. I picked him for this forum because Marte sounds a bit like Mitre.

There was actually a player Sergio Mitre around the same time, but he played for a team I didn't like.

Ms D, is your name something to do with a former poster?

hi hs
i think it has to do with a certain cat that woke up in the middle of the night

Startled by a dog that didn’t bark?

Bingo Abbey!

No reference to a previous poster.

Just an excuse to use a picture of my cat as an avatar and a general love of animals.

I was fostering some ex racing greyhounds at the time I signed up, so I did toy with Ms Burgho or Ms Barnaby, but in the end, I went with the feline reference and my much loved siamese!

Not at all, Herlock!

See answer above.

Do I have a similarly named poster proceeding me?

Were I to choose a name based on a previous poster, I would have instantly won friends and influenced people as Ms Pierre!!!

Joke!!!

I saw something on here about a former poster (sadly no longer with us) who had a toy cat called Diddles. I thought that you may have known her.
