pat boone???? just free-associating off the hint. (I almost wrote free-basing).

Pat Boone it is - tsk,tsk - I made it too easy!

Back in 1968 Pat tried to `get with the kids` and released this album. Ry Cooder devotees have to get it 'cos he does some session work on it ; he doesn`t play on the Buckley track. Tim debuted the song on a Monkees show ( that performance ends his recent 2 disc 'best of') in 1967 ; his studio version didn't appear until his Starsailor album in 1970.

Boone's version is awful - they even have the sound of a ship's horn at the start.

Next question!

I should freebase more often. go me!! too easy, my ass. did anybody else guess?

Who, all you Shakey readers, said "Art is just a dog on Neil Young's porch?"

Zappa? I know FZ said "Art is knowing where to put the frame", which I might make my new signature...

What sort of car did Neil Young drive in when he first travelled to LA?

His hearse.

Which Costello collaborator is descended from a long line of Suffolk postmen?

invisible Pole · Post by **invisible Pole** » Sun Jul 04, 2004 12:12 pm

Brian Eno ?

PlaythingOrPet · Post by **PlaythingOrPet** » Sun Jul 04, 2004 2:52 pm

My first thought was Eno, so I'll take a random wild guess - Aimee Mann. Imagine that!

bambooneedle · Post by **bambooneedle** » Sun Jul 04, 2004 2:53 pm

Steve Nieve?

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Sun Jul 04, 2004 4:16 pm

Our new chum from Kalisz is spot on. Heard Stuart Maconie mention this last night, and recalled hearing it before. Amusingly incongruous.

Over to IP.

The Waterboys and The Attractions.
Any connection ?
(though there may be a few, please try and guess the one that's on my mind)

Pete Thomas did some work on the endless sessions for that album that Mike and co. recorded in Ireland ; the albums name eludes me at the moment.

invisible Pole · Post by **invisible Pole** » Sun Jul 04, 2004 5:26 pm

Yep, he played snare drums on "Old England", a song from The Waterboys' "This Is The Sea" album.
Your turn, John.

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Sun Jul 04, 2004 5:35 pm

Point of detail: John appears to be referring to Fisherman's Blues (great record), rather than This Is The Sea. Or was that also recorded during endless sessions in Ireland? FB was in a house in Spiddal near Galway.

johnfoyle · Post by **johnfoyle** » Sun Jul 04, 2004 5:36 pm

Yep , I got the wrong album , sorry. However since the question has been answered lets keep going with this -

Elvis was supposed to do a guest vocal on Shaken and Stirred: The David Arnold James Bond Project but couldn't find the time. Which 1960's Bond theme was he supposed to do ?
