No.7 sounds like the B-side to the single of the theme to BBC’s Film ?? from back in the Barry Norman days!

But borrowed internet connection now giving up on me, so time for bed.

Carole,

Is that Paul Rodgers singing on No.4?

In which case, my guess is it’s either from his Muddy Waters tribute album, or from one of the two albums he did as The Firm with Jimmy Page.

I’ve got all three of those, but can’t check until I get home after the weekend.

Hot Rod Lincoln was all I knew – but it came into my collection from an RR suggestion – so probably you.

Bah! Too late for the Christmas Carole. Only would have gotten the 1st one, though.

Woah!

I thought that some of these would be quite tough, but kudos to Abahachi for #10 and for Abahachi and DebbyM for NRPS.

Apart from that, magicman seems to have access to my music collection because he has it pretty much bang to rights.

I thought that Steamhammer would fox people but clearly not.

I obviously need to make my collection more obscure.

Still #4 and #7 are still to play for.

Debby – not commuting to Denmark any more, my project ended at the end of November. Otherwise a visit to Hamburg would have been lovely.

Could I please sign up for the warm happy fuzzy feeling even if I don’t know any of the answers?

I’m consoling myself that I’d know #8, which is refusing to play for me.

Agree with Herr Hachi on ‘Hello Mary Lou’, and I’m guessing New Riders of the Purple Sage (a CaroleB band)!

Are you still commuting to Denmark? How about a tiny detour via Hamburg one week????

Merry Week before Christmas!

Well, #3 is ‘Hello Mary Lou’, but I have no idea whose version. Guitar playing on #4 sounds terribly familiar but my mind’s gone blank. #7 sounds a bit like Doctor John. System doesn’t seem to like #8…

Oooh, I know this one! #10 is Roy Harper, ‘Highway Blues’! Yes!

Otherwise haven’t the foggiest, but enjoyed listening.
