Great choice Paul.

[johncorrigan]

Actually Lat I might go for this Bob Wills instead - quality viewing in my opinion.

I've a LP by your hero John.
The spine says ' Bob Willis ' !
Hon mentions for those swingers Milton Brown, The Lightcrust Doughboys but not for Spade Cooley.
Now Wilf Carter knows a good title when he sees one.
' When The Ice Worm Nests Again '

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Paul! That's set me up for the weekend. We need more mucklucks in these parts, don't you think?

[Paul Sherratt]

I do

Hey guys, I'm really struggling. I've been awake for nearly 24 hours and I haven't had anything to eat. So much prep for today's Job Centre interview.

It has been a terrible day with the fourth day of excavation work, drills and driven diggers next to my parents' home and one removed from mine. The noise has been eight hours every day and truly awful. There's now a ditch so deep on a slope just the other side of the fence that it looks like ground zero.

I am really worried about the foundations and have been expressing anger into the air. It is turning into a nightmare for us. My elderly mother disappeared to get away from it and we had all the worry about where she was. It all used to be so calm here. Sometimes I feel that I've had enough of people for a lifetime.

I really want to listen to "The Verb" from last week and review it but I feel that I might not be able to without passing out at my desk. I am really disappointed as I haven't missed one yet. I hope to come back to the country music very soon.

For titles - The Son of Hickory Holler's Tramp.

Merle Haggard does it too, but this reminds me of the Irish Showbands style.

For wishful thinking - well, I was just a boy of seventeen.

So many cowboys. So much grief.

I love that OC Smith song Patrick - I always loved the way it faded out too...and talking of Mr Haggard ..well I'll just flag up again this wonderful bit of Candi Staton doing her take on Merle's 'You don't have far to go' - classic southern country soul - it tingles my spine it does!

[PatrickOD]

John, you are taking me back to the days when Alexis Korner played all those soul numbers on his radio programme. I'm now searching!

[johncorrigan]

Try this one on for size Patrick - great voice, brilliant horns; a right tearjerker from Bill Brandon!

Sorry Lat, I'll get back to the topic in hand shortly - I'm still trying to decide about the Thomas Fraser track - you're right - not 'over the rainbow'.

[Lateralthinking1]

Yes, we do need the TF track.

It's ok. Mother was found. She'd been "on buses".

I went to inspect the huge abyss that is within 3 metres of my parents' small property and the Lord of the Manor opened the window in his newly built ivory tower. According to him there has been no noise for days on end from the tanks scooping out half of the borough.

He was "unaware" of the Party Wall etc Act 1996, although he builds and sells property from here to Slovenia. If I insisted on a Notice, as required, he would see me in court. As soon as I mentioned the phrases "the monstrosity of your extension" and "it's the return of Osama bin Laden - another ground zero", he shut the window as fast as Juliet but he's a very, very, ugly version of her.

The chasm is sheer and below the foundations of the bungalow. I wouldn't mind except it is the final straw in this country's campaign to make us destitute. It can only be a matter of time before the bricks split, and everything slips down the 1 in 9. Come to think of it, we'd have had better treatment in the past year with me working for, and them living next door to, a Taliban training camp.
