In. Just in time for Crimson cover from Marissa Nadler. Gooder! Indie-folky rendition. (My usual "takes a LOT of nerve to even try on such classics" applies.)

Morning, Steve. That Mary Fahl cover of The Moody Blues "Tuesday Afternoon" (my favourite song of theirs) gave me shivers up my spine ! Nicely done, dude !! That's why I always refer to you as "King of Covers".

Noice loop-back(s) Marianne Faithfull <--> Stones <--> Marianne Faithfull. We miss her.

10:22 AM, March 7th, 2025
P
OH. 'Cept "As Tears Go By" was written by Stones Producer Andrew Oldham me-thinks? Though she would be who got it out there first.

10:27 AM, March 7th, 2025

The wiki on that song: "As Tears Go By" is a song written by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Rolling Stones' manager Andrew Loog Oldham. Marianne Faithfull recorded and released it as a single in the United Kingdom in 1964. Her song peaked at number nine on both the UK and Irish singles charts.

P, you'll enjoy this stuff I think. Again the wiki. "As Tears Go By" was one of the early compositions by Jagger and Richards; previously the Rolling Stones had chiefly been performing American blues and R&B tunes. By one account, Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham locked Jagger and Richards in a kitchen in order to force them to write a song together, even suggesting what type of song he wanted: "I want a song with brick walls all around it, high windows and no sex." The result initially was named "As Time Goes By", the title of the song Dooley Wilson sings in the film Casablanca. It was Oldham who replaced "Time" with "Tears". Richards said: We thought, what a terrible piece of tripe. We came out and played it to Andrew [Oldham], and he said "It's a hit." We actually sold this stuff, and it actually made money. Mick and I were thinking, this is money for old rope![5] According to Jagger biographer Philip Norman, the song was mainly created by Jagger, in co-operation with session guitarist Big Jim Sullivan,[6] although Jagger claims he was responsible for the lyrics while Richards wrote the melody.[7] Oldham subsequently gave the ballad (a format that the Stones were not yet known for) to Faithfull, then 17, for her to record as a B-side. Oldham played a demo for her with Jagger singing and Big Jim Sullivan on acoustic guitar. "He handed me a scrawled lyric sheet and I went back into the studio and did it. As soon as I heard the cor anglais playing the opening bars I knew it was going to work. After a couple of takes it was done. Andrew came and gave me a big hug. 'Congratulations darling. You've got yourself a number six,' he said."

Thanks, Benoît, for the research and for sharing the details. Love it!

Thanks for the thanks, but it's nothing and a quarter.

B! HA! Too much homework / thinking before coffee fully kicked in for me to have done. Thanks.

I've just had to look up what the heck a 'cor anglais' actually is. Again the wiki: Cor anglais Woodwind musical instrument The cor anglais, or English horn, is a double-reed woodwind instrument in the oboe family. It is approximately one and a half times the length of an oboe, making it essentially an alto oboe in F. The cor anglais is a transposing instrument pitched in F, a perfect fifth lower than the oboe. Way more than I understand, but there you are!

This new festival happening in Calabogie, "Guitars & Gasoline" is looking awesome. I just looked at the layout with camping sites and it's own food vendors. All Canadian line-up with some great acts. and what a sweet location for a festival !!!! https://calabogiemotorsports.com/guitars-gasoline-music-festival/

N & DL The ad for that (your link) yields a "band name": The Glamping Yurts...

11:03 AM, March 7th, 2025
N & DL
Did anyone ever attend Nostalgia Festival with all the cover bands? Would love to know how that worked out

11:03 AM, March 7th, 2025
Steve Kirkland (host)
N&DL, many Thanks for the tip, and the link! Looks/sounds interesting, indeed.

11:04 AM, March 7th, 2025
N & DL
Good catch B. What the heck is a glamping yurt?! Sounds like a foot fungus or goat species ...... lol google says however......Yurts are round tent-like structures that merge the worlds of tents, huts and houses. They are traditionally used as portable dwellings by nomadic cultures of central Asia, but have become a growing accommodation trend around the world and in the glamping industry. Most glamping yurt vacations have running water and heating, and all have comfortable beds with everything you would need for a relaxing night. Yurts are a perfect upgrade from your normal camping tent. Cool !

11:18 AM, March 7th, 2025
B
It makes perfect sense, of course! But the *sound* of glamping yurts is something...

11:20 AM, March 7th, 2025
N & DL
hahahaha.......now I am going to be haunted for days with glamping yurt echoes............it's like something you might "bring up" with accompanying gagging....hahaha

Hey Steve.......how about doing a special with all reggae covers !!!! There are an incredible number of excellent reggae covers of all genres of music. I love 'em. Every week there are new releases on Jamaica radio. DL loves his reggae music, especially covers cause it brings back memories of when his legs were still at 100%. woof woof

11:28 AM, March 7th, 2025
N & DL
Sweet.......I will be onboard tomorrow, bud. Thanks

11:30 AM, March 7th, 2025
Steve Kirkland (host)
Good suggestion N&DL re the reggae covers. I'll keep that in mind!

11:32 AM, March 7th, 2025
Steve Kirkland (host)

BTW That Marrisa Nadler cover of King Crimson's "Moonchild" really had a James Bond sound about it, like I had missed one of the Bond movies and this theme. Thanks again Steve for a phenominal show today
