From this past December, I missed seeing it then.

I really like those two:



And of course this here, which only Dave made me aware of on these pages many moons ago!


Nick is a Brit national treasure. And regarding the last song: You can lie to women all you want, yet they still won't tell you the truth. 😁

Late to the party but I've always been a bit of a Nick Lowe fan, got some of his early releases on vinyl.

Used to be in a Little Rock and roll band that did a lot of Rockpile covers. Dance floor was always jammed. Right from the first song.

He tours with Los Straightjackets. I was just digging this video from them.

In regards to Rockpile, I don't think it's been mentioned here that Dave Edmunds had a major cardiac event and has been in recovery for the last few months. I wish him and his family well.

I LOVE Los Straitjackets. They're keeping surf alive by doing it right!!

One of my favorite cuts, because the bass is tricky and fun to play. Check it out....unfortunately the bass is hard to hear on these laptops.  But the video is a hoot!
