Lack of blog activity

Lurgied. As Spike Milligan would have said. But I'll be back with more swingin' sounds in the near future. In the meantime I'm returning to my bed of pain.

See y'all next week, I hope!

Seriously, ... I hope you get well soon; and please keep on keeping on with this great information in verbal and musical form. Your site is one of the few using the net to its utmost - and providing great music to boot.; 25 October 2010 at 20:21

I've been lumbered with chronic fatigue aka M.E. for three years and have felt the better for you!
Last week I was in Otago Lane and felt the better for that when I'd recovered from the immediate physical effects! more power to you .. and all the very best!

boogiewoody said...: Many thanks to all you wellwishers. Recovery has been slower than I thought it would be but I'm getting there and there is a new post for you all.

Apologies to people who have been waiting for email replies - I've falen behind with all that.

Rrrrrrrr, etc - it's months since I've been over at Otago Lane. How is Mixed Up Records doing? Chronic fatigue - horrible, glad the blog provides light relief for you. Hang on in there! Visit more record shops!; 5 November 2010 at 18:13
lemonflag said...: There hasn't been an outbreak of "the dreaded lurgy" in many years. I hope your recovery goes well.
As you mentioned Spike, did you read about his tombstone?
He wanted it to read "I told you I was sick!" but the church would not allow it. So they used Latin instead and the church agreed to thst. Good old Spike.
Thanks for the blog, always a pleasure.; 8 November 2010 at 17:15

Dedicated to REAL R&B, Rock'n'Roll, Blues and Jazz

This is a site dedicated to rockin' 1940s and 1950s music, ripped from vinyl. Some cuts are a bit on the rough side. If you're looking for audio perfection you're on the wrong site baby!

If you like what you hear on this site please buy this kind of music. There are many reasonably priced reissues available from web dealers or perhaps from your local record shop, if it still exists. These reissues will be in far better sound quality than the vinyl rips on this site and they will usually have more up to date liner notes and info, so go out and splash a little cash now and again. Help keep those reissue labels going in these difficult times.

No in-print CDs will be posted here. In fact no CDs will be posted here. I will occasionally list recommended purchases to help you hear more from artists featured on the blog.
