My one international was the U23s against East Germany - probably the 80/1 season. We went because the England forward line was Reeves and Fashanu reunited.

I had that very edition. Lost it somewhere in the mists of time.

Good luck!

The Blockheads' set list tonight.

Carlsberg don't do set lists, but if they did...

En route to the best gig of the year!

It's been a great day all round

Yes indeed

When I studied the British Constitution, there was a thing called "ministerial responsibility." It should be brought back. #Lammy #Starmer .

Will do!

Finally got off at Northallerton, now on another train going to Boro. Should get in about a quarter past.

Just gets worse. Train no longer going to Middlesbrough. Sat on a train at York, supposedly going to Darlington. But not moving. #ncfc

I file musicians my first names, but authors by surnames. So on the cd rack Basie is under C. But on the bookshelves, the Count is a B.

It was all terribly sad, but we're moving again. Should have plenty of time.

Things going wrong. Major delays between Leeds and Yorks. Might not make game. #ncfc

#MusicSky Our first gig of the year. Aynsley Lister. Cracking!

Reader. Trying to be a writer.

Zappa Plays Zappa ~ Black Napkins ~ [2008] [Disc 2] [1080p] Zappa Plays Zappa is an American tribute act led by Dweezil Zappa, the eldest son of late American composer and musician Frank Zappa, devoted to performing the music of Frank Zappa. A DVD documenting the 2006 tour was released in early 2008, which this video is from. Filmed in Portland and Seattle, The Zappa Plays Zappa Double DVD collection brilliantly commemorates the critically acclaimed 2006 concerts which presented a collection of Frank Zappa's rock-oriented compositions.The band debuted in 2006 with shows in Europe, Canada, and the United States during May and June (the tour was also known as Zappa Plays Zappa: Tour de Frank'). The shows presented a collection of Frank Zappa's rock-oriented compositions from the 1960s to the late 1970s. Apart from Dweezil Zappa on lead guitar, many of the band members previously played with Frank Zappa. Among those, Napoleon Murphy Brock (sax, flute, and vocals) was an integral part of the band, while drummer/vocalist Terry Bozzio and guitarist Steve Vai performed as guests in parts of the shows. At several shows the live band played along with audio and video recordings of Frank Zappa himself, notably portions of "Chunga's Revenge", "Dumb All Over", "Cosmik Debris", and "Muffin Man."Frank Zappa's bands underwent many changes of members, and Zappa Plays Zappa has done the same. The first changes came in 2009–2010, starting with the departure of Aaron Arntz from the keyboard chair, followed quickly by the replacement of guest vocalist Ray White with the hiring of full-time singer/multi-instrumentalist Ben Thomas. Shortly thereafter, keyboardist/singer Chris Norton was added to the lineup. Changes have been made since, and most likely will continue to do so as Dweezil continues in his father's footsteps. "Black Napkins" is the second song from Frank Zappa's 22nd album titled Zoot Allures. The song was recorded live on February 3, 1976 in Osaka, Japan. Zoot Allures was his only release on the Warner Bros. Records label. Due to a lawsuit with his former manager, Herb Cohen, Zappa's recording contract was temporarily reassigned from DiscReet Records to Warner Bros. The title is a pun on the French expression "Zut alors!", which conveys mild surprise. The performance heard on the album was culled from Zappa's February 3, 1976 performance in Osaka, Japan, though it was edited for the official release. "Black Napkins" became a signature piece for Zappa, featuring heavily in nearly every subsequent tour and several official releases. *Zappa performed "Black Napkins" on the Mike Douglas show with the Mike Douglas Orchestra on October 28, 1976.

#CatsOfBlueSky The boys have spotted something outside in the cold.

I'd like to carry on too. Haven't been able to post for a couple of days because can't use PC.

Ah... a Shropshire lad in Japan, not Shropshire. Whoops!

I'm glad you like it! They tour a lot - definitely worth checking out.
