"im here to play this here f-n banjo. You gotta problem with that?"
Post this for any of the old 70's era guys. This is a Uriah Heep album cover autographed by all five members of the classic Heep lineup Byron, Thain, Kerslake, Box & Hensley. I did have the autographs authenticated before I framed the album cover. The fellow I bought it from years ago said he had it signed in Birmingham while Heep were recording their very successful Live LP. Of course, that part I cannot authenticate but I did have every reason to believe the old boy. It broke his heart to part with this cool piece of memorabilia. I totally wanted to be Gary Thain (less addictions) all my playing career.... Apologies for the glare. I was too lazy to take it off the wall.

With his Root Beer Sparkle Wattplower Mk 2. After seeing and hearing him play it, I had to have one. It took awhile to find, but I finally tracked one down in a boutique in Barcelona.

Great catch! Never occurred to me, and I've watched the single season of The Prisoner many times. And every episode of Danger Man that I could get my hands on. Patrick McGoohan was the best. He'd have been a great James Bond.Looks like he was a fan of The Prisoner.

Not that anybody asked but I have and will use the same jacket on stage for the exact same reason.

He was a great corny villain in "The Silver Streak". Great silly and funny movie with first rate magical cast. Have seen it many times.

If the film is half as good as this Wikipedia description, I'll have to track it down and watch it. Tonight would be good!
Silver Streak (film)
EDIT: I had to rent it for 3,99 € on Prime Video. Only place I could find it. Will watch it tonight.

Doe he not have a Tech?
No, they were punk rock. Real punk, and not the Warp Tour variety of punk.

It contains one of the funniest scenes in movie history. The first pairing onscreen of Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. Pure gold.If the film is half as good as this Wikipedia description, I'll have to track it down and watch it. Tonight would be good!

Watched it last night. I loved the popup entrance that Pryor made. He and Wilder were a great pairing. I don't generally like renting movies when I have so many streaming platforms to choose from, but Silver Streak was worth the 3,99 €. Great recommendation!
