General Discussion / Re: what are you listening to ...
Last post by port perran - Today at 06:38:02 PM
I'm with Tim @Moonglum on this.
I rather prefer Frijid Pink's version of House of the Rising Sun.
There are also plenty of cover versions of other songs that I prefer, including pretty much all cover versions of Dylan songs.
The Hollies Sing Dylan album is an excellent example of this.
I've just got in from a long day returning to our old cottage in Cornwall but I'll try to post some examples of great cover versions over the next few days.
As a starter for 10, which is the best version of Black Magic Woman written by Peter Green?

Cheers

I've got one of those, Mum gave me it years ago.

I never told her, but it doesn't work   :smiley-laughing:

Standard procedure for companies. Go do some homework on the comparison sites, you'll be fine.

Quote from: Papyrus on Today at 02:54:35 PMI have to agree. Similarly, I appear to have acquired stuff that I have no knowledge of or need for. That continental bogie freight car, for instance. Why have I got that? I really need to get a grip...


Do you have a use for one of those, or might do in the future?

A grip just gives you more space to lose things in :uneasy:

I generally have little difficulty in finding what I need - provided I haven't tidied up recently  :smiley-laughing:

I sometimes find that my rolling stock has disappeared from my layout, only for it to miraculously re-appear well after I've given up looking for it.

And usually exactly where it should have been, creepy or what? :goggleeyes:


Small tools are considered permanently lost in their default state  :D

That's why I often have 2 or 3 identical tools kicking around,







somewhere ................








where's that tape measure  :-[

I have noticed that. A few weeks ago, I was doing a bit of tidying up and came across a plastic case. On opening it, I saw that it contained a new looking Black and Decker electric drill. "I don't remember putting that away" thinks I, turns round and saw my, not so new, B & D electric drill on the workbench!  :doh:
