Funky Friday – We Three Kings
It’s just a touch too early to start dishing out the tinsel tunes (we’ll save that for next week), but as a winter warm-up, how about a visit from three six string Kings that put some fatback on the fretboard and bring us Cold, Funking-sense and much, much more*
Freddie King – ‘Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag’
*Yes I’m aware this is a stretch so tenuous it’s almost transparent, but please – take it with a pinch of panto’

Oh noooooooo can’t we leave the tinsel tunes off this year? I’m certainly putting a ban on cheesey Christmas music at Axe Towers this year. It’s the same thing year in year out. We gotta have change!

Oh yes Col – got to get some Christmas bits on the go – but it won’t be any of the usual weary ol’ crooner tunes

Hey Dave. I go Christmas at the Dino Lounge next week. This was a really cool post. I love all the tunes. I had an uncle who really listened to a lot of music like this. This reminded me of him. Have a good weekend.

You set me off with this but all I could come up with was the idea for a post featuring (Andrew) Gold, Frankie (and the Four) Seasons and (Johnny) Marr, which is as strained a ‘joke’ as the musical combo might be I think.

I’ll be over for those tunes first thing Monday Keith..
Frankie Seasons is genius
You could a Friday night disco version Davey..
Liquid Gold (Anyway You Do It)
Dr. Funkenstein (Parliment)
More, More, More (Andrea’s True Connection)

Yeah that’s the one and for the last two it’s James Taylor Quartet and Kitty Grant (which was written by Ian Dury /Chaz Jankel)

Well. This took the chill out the air, briefly. Especially Freddie King.

There’s a couple more Freddie cuts here IB – and how about that Albert’s – pipe and flying V combo – fantastic
You know he was a huge influence on Stevie Ray Vaughn (pipe and a strat)

Thoroughly enjoyed listening…

Blimey, PM! I’ve just got around to seeing that pic of you in the last post!
I’m gobsmacked – you would’ve made someone a nice wife back then.
Only kidding, like.
That is an odd looking Flying V, the headstock is all wrong!

Well it was the eighties you know you have to think The Sweet/Hanoi Rocks etc..
Think Kingy’s guitar is a custom job as his name is inlayed on the fret, which would explain the headstock
