Stiles Road Clontarf, Rainy Friday night, a Parent-free house Jeezezzz ephh! Grease, A Star is Born, Neil Diamond, Kenny Rogers. Clouds of smoke, some grunting, followed by the soothing words
We were out in the rain and well up the street when the car passed us. We kept our heads down and moved as one, emerging at the Howth Road shivering and unsavoury. It was almost Christmas, and the 3 not-so-wise men headed East, drawn by the distant glow of the Saint Annes chipper. Tomorrow night was Grove night, but for now, the only vinyl that mattered was the yellow tarp over our heads.

Saintpauls78 Love reading your stuff, you tell and a great story... obviously your a big Genesis fan,what was your favourite album? mine was selling england by the pound, a stunning album. I can understand why you'd might put Mr Giltrap in the Iffy pile, but he's a brilliant guitarist and deserves a little more merit. most of my mates would of chosen the same classic albums for instant playing. ie foxtrot, fragile ect.ect. anyway, good to read your posts ! ------------- Russ |

| Mr. Giltrap's Heartsong demonstrated his ability, as did Fear of the Dark, but there was always something not quite right about his image. He dressed like Barry Blue (of "Dancing on a Saturday Night" fame), and since he did appear on the Annihilator (TOTP), he got relegated to the "iffy" stack. Sorry Gordy; lose the moustache and get a pair of levis. Of course by now he's almost 60, and probably wouldn't recognize him if I ran into him. |

SaintPauls 78 Heartsong was superb piece of guitar playing, both perilous journey and fear of the dark were by far his best albums. Even at 60 He is out there doing his thing, I dont think he ever reached true fame and fortune, He sometimes plays small venues here in london, If only as you say, he had lost that damn moustache....oh yeah I've just remembered that Gordi appeared not only on TOTP, but also the 'Val Donican show' .............. bet ya missed that one ! ------------- Russ |
