ANIMAL FEVER....

I'm dedicating this blog to my great mate TG who just happens to have a birthday today. TG and I share a weird and wonderful sense of humour and a love of all music particularly get down dirty rock from the likes of Led Zepp and Nirvana through to strutting our stuff on the dance floor to the Jackson 5. Anyone who has ever seen her take on 'Blame it on the Boogie' and in particular her interpretation of the line 'I just can't, I just can't, I just can't control my feet' will never be the same again. Socialising with TG is a day or evening filled with sniggering childishness and aching ribs from laughing so much. You'll talk about anything and everything and no subject is off limits. Oh yeah, and tell her your deepest, darkest secrets in the safe knowledge that they will never be divulged. A true friend and I love her to bits. 


So TG, happy birthday. I hope your gorgeous husband and two lovely kids are spoiling you rotten today. And as a treat, I thought you would enjoy this video which I think it will appeal to your love of great rock drummers and to your sense of comic timing at its best. And as Animal so succinctly puts it.. 'you're my kinda WOMAN'. 

DRUMMER BOY...

Just watching the finals of Britain's Got Talent and the young lad playing the drums has just wowed the audience. He drummed to Wipeout on a floating hydraulic platform and was pretty sensational. Drums for me are always one of the sexiest of instruments and when played well, are the heartbeat of the band making a good band sound fantastic. The drums gives the soul and beat to music and along with the bass guitar, they supply the rhythm singled out when strutting your booty on the dance floor. So good luck Keiran. If he doesn't win tonight's BGT final, I hope he gets himself in a great band to showcase his talent. Of course, he'll have to go some way to catch up to the talent of the greatest drummer of all time - Animal from the Muppet Show. Awesome skills and unblinking scary eyes made him a legend on his own drum kit. These guys weren't bad either....
