You will keep enjoying his music and the memories of those great shows you attended.

Favorite Singers 'n Front Men is live . . .

. . . and ready for Take 1! Young Dr No had three passions. The last to develop was for the game of pool when I was about nine. Before that was my fascination with wrist watches. I remember staring at a relative's triple-calendar for minutes on end. The f...

Thanks Art.

I just might take you up on that one! It's a 2937 actually. But what's a few numbers between friends....
Not a reference one sees every year . . .

Tom Waits is a legend!

Certainly not a conventional one but one with a truly interesting range - at least in my humble opinion 😊👍🏻

Seen him live 6 times, worth every penny every time. ...
Thanks Abel.
By: Thomas_3 : July 9th, 2021-18:25
Not sure I'd go see him again, his shows are nowhere what they used to be. Of course age plays a huge role in that, I've seen a couple of shows that are fairly recent on youtube and they are way different from what they used to be. When I was seeing him h...
Seen Rod once at the Hollywood Bowl . . .

Wow dear Art! What an introduction!! Great post!
By: Subexplorer : July 9th, 2021-13:57
You never cease to amaze me with your musical knowledge (and your Omega knowledge as well of course!). Great watch on your wrist today. You know I have an special fondness for GS and Seiko watches. Interesting Theme you bring. And many memories as well. I...
I love Karen Carpenter

She was truly gone too young. And who can forget Ella Fitzgerald singing Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered? Not me!

Good call Abel, she is the only artist to record two Bond themes and I have had the great privilege to meet her in person. Frank Sinatra is definitely one of the all time greats but unfortunately I didn’t see him live in concert. I see Frank has the same ...

Marvin Gaye recorded the first songs of What's Going On as early as 1969
By: wover : July 11th, 2021-16:14
In July of 1970, Seiko produced my 6117 6400 and in 1971, What's Going On was released. It is impossible that this a coincidence! Just as Seiko stands the test of time, so did What's Going On. You will have heard of and seen a Seiko, you've now seen the c...
Marvin was tops! . . .

Hello dear Art! That’s a great (an hilarious) story!!

Can imagine the face of Dame Bassey looking you! Lol! Well… these things happen sometimes! Lol! Glad you like my old Rolex. The Veryflat is a charming watch. But I can understand you. We have priorities and we can get every piece we like. Thank you for sh...

Great theme Art ! You shared some great moments in music with us the weekend in your opening thread. I’m going to start with Bowie because he reached the point that everyone referred to him as just Bowie. The same happened to all the greatest artists. Elv...
Thank you Abel ...
By: Cpt Scarlet : July 10th, 2021-08:27
Bowie had the same model in his collection. I’ve owned this one for many years. For many personal reasons it will remain with me forever. Have a great weekend !
Bowie was a touch too . . .
By: Dr No : July 10th, 2021-17:50
. . . outré . . . . . . for my tastes when I was in high school. I hung out more with the Cat Stevens / Moody Blues crowd . . . Bowie was just too edgy. I didn't learn to appreciate his genius until much later in life. Same goes for Lou Reed. As they say,...
Thank you 🙏 ...

Hope that you are keeping well.

Now, there's a front man . . .
By: Dr No : July 11th, 2021-00:07
. . . and a half. If Mick had any competition for the title of Greatest Front Man, it would be The Lizard King. He could make notes sound as though they would be the last we'd ever hear. You're Lost Little Girl . . . . . . Riders on the Storm . . . . . . ...
Good memories ! ..

We all love a bit of nostalgia and why not when it’s this good !

Somehow music has featured less in the last two and a half years since we moved here - something to be rectified for sure. So, videos aside, here some ‘relatively’ recent ones for me: - Amy McDonald - somehow the combination of her lyrics - and this is on...

And I hope I will get the opportunity at some point soon to check out some of your favorites (have to admit there’s a couple that don’t ring a bell 🤷🏻♂️) 👍🏻
Some of my picks . . .
