My god, but an audience really can destroy a song with their stupid and incessant clapping. It took ages before they stopped, before the final few realised that their stupid clapping wasn't in time with the song.

Fully Qualified Survivor (1970) – Harvest
Window (1971) – Harvest

This is easily my discovery of the week Walt!. (never is too late!) :-)

Pura Vida!.

J.K. & Co. - Suddenly One Summer

Another thread is about twee covers. This is a twee album. Good stuff, but I don't find it as great as its reputation. Good background music while working.

Michael Chapman/Fully Qualified Survivor. ****



My first approach to his music was, as I wrote before, "Trainsong: Guitar Compositions 1967-2010": an instrumental double cd that shows his masterful musicianship BUT the man, as I discover with "Fully Qualified Survivor", is also an excellent singer-songwriter ... wow!!.

" For one thing Fully Qualified Survivor shared many of the same key personnel (Mick Ronson, Paul Buckmaster, Gus Dudgeon) that featured on the early David Bowie and Elton John albums. The mix of acoustic guitar with string arrangements and heavy blues-rock lead guitar, might sound an incongruous combination, but it works well here, and the sound of the record fitted in perfectly with the dominant introspective trends of the era. You could easily imagine a couple of the songs fitting discretely onto Bowie's Hunky Dory. Small wonder then, that John Peel was to describe the album as one of his favourites of that year. "

"I had an art college education and on a rainy night in 1966 I went into a pub in Cornwall, but I couldn't afford to pay to go in. So I said, I'll tell you what, I don't want to stay outside in the rain, I'll play guitar for half an hour for you. They offered me a job for the rest of the summer and I've been at it ever since."

If anyone likes steel guitar, this has Good Ol' Jay Dee Maness all over it. He can make it cry.

Made In Sweden - Where Do We Begin (1976)



Georg Wadenius (guitars and vocals) and Tommy Körberg (lead vocals and percussion), Finns Pekka Pohjola (bass and piano) and Vesa Aaltonen (drums) and Polish Wlodek Gulgowski on pianos and synthesizers.

The same line-up, without the singer and with the addition of Mike and Sally Oldfield and Pierre Moerlen can be heard on Keesojen Lehto by Pekka Pohjola. The music has some simularities I think.
