Got tickets to see Mudhoney shortly after Superfuzz Bigmuff came out. In Brum, turned out the gig was at The Barrelorgan on Digbeth High St. Got there to find out we were pretty much the only people there, spent about 10 mins talking to singer Mark Arm before they absolutely nailed it with just us there.

Nick Drake. I know he died more than 40 years ago, but I would love to have asked him a few questions about his songs and the meaning of life
Met his sister Gabrielle a couple of years ago. If you've ever seen the film Clockwork with John Cleese you'll see a scene set in a monastery, and that's where they live. Lovely woman and totally committed to keeping Nicks name alive. River man a classic

Back in the late 1980's, I'd just started learning the guitar and was very into classic 70's rock. Just before I moved to Shrewsbury, I bought a copy of this:-

It was out of curiosity if nothing else due to the album cover. Anyway, I loved it and Tony McPhee's gritty blues fusion guitar work.
Not long after moving into my first (bedsit) in Shrewsbury, I walked to one of my favourite pubs for a couple of beers. As I sat at the bar, I kept looking over to my right at another guy reading a magazine at the bar. After the guy left, I asked the landlord, 'Don? That guy over there at the bar just now, does he play guitar?' Don confirmed he did, and it turned out my suspicion was right; Tony McPhee often enjoyed a beer at The Swan in Frankwell! So I rushed back to my hovel, grabbed my copy of "Who Will Save The World......." and asked Don if he could kindly ask Tony to sign it for me when he was next in.
Very kindly, Tony did sign it

Out of interest. Here's the whole track with the band included (it was played live with brass overdubs). Nice bit of sight reading Neal!ker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y9JHUyap5g&fe...
