THE SORROWS

The Sorrows were the raunchiest, hard-edged, most agressive band in England in 1965. Their brand of thumping R & B/Blues/Rock at the time was groundbreaking and way ahead of it's time. Their music made The Stones sound like easy listening, which was no mean feat. The musicianship is excellent for the era, the lead guitar breaks by Pip Witcher are lightning fast and raw. The drumming of Bruce Finley is frantic yet still tight. The pounding, booming vocals by Don Maughn literally take your breath away. Formed in 1963, they were from the gloomy industrial city of Coventry, which is close to Birmingham and not all that far from where Ozzy Osbourne grew up, although by their sound, you could easily mistake them for being from NYC or Detroit.

THE THOMAS FAMILY OYSTER ROAST!!!!

THE OTHER NIGHT WE HAD A OYSTER ROAST AT MY HOUSE!!!LET ME TELL YOU THERE WERE ALOT OF OYTERS TO BE HAD! HERE ARE SOME PICTURES!THE OYSTERS CAME STRAIGHT FROM THE RAPPAHANNOCK RIVER OF VA!!!!

The Rappahannock River is a river in eastern Virginia in the United States, approximately 184 mi (294 km) in length. It traverses the entire northern part of the state, from the Blue Ridge Mountains in the west across the Piedmont to Chesapeake Bay south of the Potomac. Due to its continued significance as an obstacle to north-south movements, it effectively functioned as the Eastern Theater boundary between the "North" (the Union) and the "South" (the Confederate States of America) during the Civil War. An important river in U.S. history, it was the site of early settlements in the Virginia Colony and was later at the center of major theater of battle in the American Civil War. It drains an area of 2,848 sq mi (7405 km²), approximately 6% of the state of Virginia. Much of the watershed is rural and forested but has seen growing development in recent decades with the southward expansion of the Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C.LET ME TELL YOU THEY WERE FRESH AND SWEET!!!!!

PAUL JONES!!!!

THAT LAST BLOG LEADS ME TO THIS ONE, PAUL JONES!!!!!!!!!Paul Jones (born Paul Pond, 24 February 1942, in Portsmouth, England) is an English singer, actor, harmonica player, and radio andtelevision presenter.

In 1962 Jones became resident singer with Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated (alongside Long John Baldry, both towering out above a shorter third vocalist, an aspiring Michael 'Mick' Jagger).

Jones then went on to be the vocalist and harmonica player of the successful 1960s group Manfred Mann. He had several Top Ten hits with Manfred Mann before going solo in 1966.

He was less successful without the band than they were with his replacement but did have a few hits, notably with 'High Time' (1966) and 'I've Been a Bad, Bad Boy' and 'Thinkin' Ain't For Me' (both 1967) before attempting to branch into acting.

His performance opposite model Jean Shrimpton in 1967 film Privilege, directed by Peter Watkins, did not bring the hoped-for stardom, although the film, a satirically dystopian view of the pop world, later became something of a cult classic. In 1972 Paul recorded "Crucifix in a Horseshoe" with White Cloud a New York based session group featuring Teddy Wender on keyboards and Kenny Kosek on fiddle!^[1] It was not until the 1990s that Jones became a familiar face on television in the children's series, Uncle Jack. In the meantime, he enjoyed a parallel career as presenter of radio programmes focusing mainly on rhythm and blues, notably a long-running weekly show on BBC Radio 2.

Privilege!!!

U.K. film. In the future (1970) the British government is using Steven Shorter, a popular rock star (Paul Jones), to channel the impulses of rebellious teenagers. In one concert sequence, the crowd watches him sing a while locked in a cage surrounded by police officers armed with clubs. He becomes a pawn of the establishment but eventually goes beyond rebellion and the government reengineers his image to more tightly control teenage society. Cool swinging UK imagery is in abundance. Paul Jones had been the front man/singer with Manfred Mann before going solo (and making his acting debut). Supermodel Jean Shrimpton plays a sultry mod girl who keeps tabs on Stevens’s activities. Cool jangle-beat rock group dressed as monks. Privilege was censored by the BBC. Paul Jones, Jean Shrimpton (she never made another film), Mark London, William Job, Max Bacon, Jeremy Child, The George Bean Group. Privilege!  

THE GOLLIWOGS!

The Golliwogs was an American rock band which eventually became Creedence Clearwater Revival.

The band started out, in 1959, as an instrumental trio called The Blue Velvets. The original line up was John Fogerty (guitar), Stu Cook (piano), and Doug Clifford (drums). In 1960, John's older brother Tom, who had been in local bands since 1958, began singing with the group.

The Blue Velvets released three singles in the San Francisco Bay area, during 1961 and 1962, on Oakland's Orchestra Records. These recordings received only minimal sales although the second Blue Velvets single was added to Oakland's KEWB top 40 playlist by famed disc jockey Casey Kasem, who was employed at the station.

Following the Orchestra singles, Tom began playing rhythm guitar in addition to remaining the lead vocalist and front man while John continued as the lead guitarist. Meanwhile, Stu Cookswitched from piano to bass guitar.

In the middle of 1964, the band recorded two songs for Fantasy Records, a local label based in San Francisco. The band was attracted to Fantasy because, in 1963, it had released a national hit by Vince Guaraldi, "Cast Your Fate To The Wind". Max Weiss, one of Fantasy's co-owners initially changed the group's name to The Visions, but when their songs were released as a single, in November 1964, Weiss re-named them The Golliwogs, an apparent reference to a once-popular minstrel doll called a Golliwogg. Seven singles were released in the San Francisco Bay area. While none of these broke out nationally, one, "Brown Eyed Girl," was a near break out in Miami, Fla., for four weeks beginning on February 26, 1966, when it reached #10 on Billboard's "Regional Breakout" chart for Miami (a chart one level below their Bubbling Under charts).

Eventually John Fogerty took control of the group, writing all of their material, singing lead vocals, and blossoming into a multi-instrumentalist who played bass, keyboards, and harmonica in addition to lead guitar. By 1967, he was producing the group's recordings.

In December 1967, the band changed its name to Creedence Clearwater Revival. The band's first album as Creedence Clearwater Revival was released in 1968.
