A posting further back---ref: Marc Bolan. His made up surname was from which music idol of his? While you ponder that---i have a recording of a group playing in Germany called The Beat Brothers backing Tony Sheridan. Who were they better known as? Pink Floyd is named after 2 blues guitarists. Which ones? Which year did Jimi Hendrix perform in Newbury, Berkshire? Who took the micky out of The Shadows, recording "Cry For A Shadow"? My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Unfortunately, I am not a Pink Floyd or a Jimi Hendrix fan so I can't even harbor a guess. I don't even know what "micky out of The Shadows" means must be before my time. LOL!

Apologies for Cockney rhyming slang accidentally appearing in one of my questions. In full---taking the mickey bliss---means to mock someone; in this case, a style of guitar sound of Hank Marvin and The Shadows who backed Cliff Richard, similar band to The Ventures or Tornadoes in the US a bit later on. I've only heard the song Diana by it's original writer/performer, Paul Anka. Not to give my age away, but it made No.1 in the UK charts in 1957--though I was very young, though heard it on US radio stations at the time. The 2 blues guitarists were Americans, as the US blues was having a big influence in early--mid '60s pop music here when Pink Floyd, and other bands, were formed. Glad you liked my avatar. Paul.

Sue gets the brownie points! Yes it is a great song but I only like the version done by Richard Harris. It's interesting though that I can't find that version anywhere, not even on i-Tunes Diana, do you mean you would like to hear the song? If so I think you should try youTube...all you do is key in the song title andup comes loads of choices. I have only just discoverd this and have been listening to fab songs from many moons ago in the 60s, 70s and 80s that I hadn't heard for donkeys years! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
Paul Hilton Posts: 2605 Joined: 21st Nov 2004 Location: UK	Posted at 08:40 on 8th May 2008 The answers to my questions--so don't read if you're still working them out! Marc Bolan's surname was derived from Bob Dylan Pink Floyd's name came from Georgia bluesmen Pink Anderson & Floyd Council Jimi Hendrix played at Newbury, Feb. 1967 and costs 7/6 to see him at The Plaza in Newbury's Market Place; now a major estate agents/auctioneers offices. Backing Tony Sheridan were The Beat Brothers, aka The Beatles. At this time in 1961, they recorded the Harrison-Lennon song " Cry For A Shadow" as a parody of The Shadows; the only Beatles' song credited soley to Harrison-Lennon.
