well done martinfoyle (and a superb band they were too - highly recommended if anyone is able to track down their album "Magic Box").

Here's my question again.

Hint: On the U2 album she's credited by her then married name. Simple when you think about it.

I'm going to take a total guess and say Kirsty MacColl?

Tim(e) · Post by **Tim(e)** » Thu Apr 22, 2004 7:03 pm

Could it possibly be Chrissie Hynde (she did do backing vocals on Nite Club)?

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Thu Apr 22, 2004 7:13 pm

Dov'e Martin? Yes, you're right. I didn't know that she was on either LP, but the credits for TUF refer to Mrs Christine Kerr, and she's on Pride.

Dang, I still have 0.

See, this is all so bleeding drawn out and slow. It could be fun otherwise, especially if I could get an answer, but it's just painful. I reckon still that answerers should bung in a question, then at least it might move along...

martinfoyle · Post by **martinfoyle** » Sat Apr 24, 2004 12:42 am

Indeed. Come on Tim(e), get the finger out!

Rush rush rush, that's the problem with todays society. Lie back, take it easy, have a drink, smoke some pot, chill out, and pop back sometime next week for the next question. It's not meant to be a race.

Well, I don't know the answer, but I like SoLack's approach to the whole thing.

Sorry... it was a long weekend here (maybe I should have posted a question on the assumption I would be credited with the correct answer)

On the Kill Bill Vol 1 soundtrack is a tune by the Japanese musician Tomoyasu Hotei. Name one of the bands he was in prior to becoming a solo recording artist and name another string to his bow (well, you don't have to... but I will be impressed if you can).

GWAR?

No... Hotei was in bands in his native Japan. I don't believe that GWAR are from Japan (are they?).

Well live and learn!! I did not know that he had had anything to do with that band... I was thinking of either Boowy or Complex which were his two most famous bands in Japan. Your point sir!!

Yes, he starred in the very entertaining Samurai Fiction.

What musician has played on a studio recording with both EC and Buddy Holly?

Post by **BlueChair** » Mon Apr 26, 2004 8:17 pm

I'm thinking it's Earl Palmer, even though that probably makes no sense

Maybe that's a bit too obscure a question. Here's a hint: It's the rhythm guitarist, I think, on the '79 version of Stranger In the House on George Jones' My Very Special Guests album. Can't find the lp sleeve right now, but I do remember this fact occuring to me.

Blue is very close, the right guys name is in this paragraph.

-Jerry Allison became the group's leader and after a short while, the group resumed recording and touring. Earl Sinks left and another Holly "soundalike" named David Box then recorded with the group, especially with his rendition of "Peggy Sue Got Married". in 1961, the Crickets teamed up with Bobby Vee and released several singles and an album. Although Mauldin is pictured on the album cover, he was not on the session. Tommy Allsup played on some songs, Earl Palmer was the drummer on a few of them, with Bobby Vee doing most of the vocals, sharing a couple with Jerry Allison.
