AJ Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Andrew Symonds, Brummie born Aussie cricket legend. Even if you didn't follow cricket, chances are you have heard about Andrew Symonds. Probably my favourite Andrew Symonds moment: Spoiler 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veloman Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Rick Price, Birmingham born bassist with numerous Birmingham bands . Perhaps most famously Roy Wood's Wizzard. Think he was married to the female half of Peters and Lee (Diane?). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote A mainstay of the early 1960s Cambridge, Massachusetts, folk scene, he subsequently became a friend and associate of Bob Dylan alongside whom he appears in D.A. Pennebaker's documentary Dont Look Back and Dylan's own self-referential romantic fantasy/tour film Renaldo and Clara. The lower half of him appears behind Dylan in Daniel Kramer's front cover photo for the album Highway 61 Revisited. Neuwirth assembled the backing band for Dylan's 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue. With Janis Joplin and poet Michael McClure, he co-wrote the song "Mercedes Benz". He also introduced Kris Kristofferson to Janis Joplin, who would have a major (posthumous) hit single with Kristofferson's song "Me and Bobby McGee" (which Neuwirth first played for Joplin.) Painter, road manager, sidekick, confidante, henchman, poet, underground cult hero, womanizer, party organizer, self-appointed king of cool, and baiter-in-chief of Baez, Donovan, and any other unfortunate who wound up in the line of fire of his sledgehammer jibes, Neuwirth went on to become a film-maker and a credible singer-songwriter in his own right, co-writing the wonderful 'Mercedes Benz' with his friend Janis Joplin.

veloman Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 If you like Vangelis' theme to "Blade Runner' , have a listen to the version by 'Morrissey Mullen'. The late Dick Morrissey and ace guitarist Jim Mullen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
