No Cliff = no The Shadows = no Apaches?

...And half of the jokes in The Young Ones would be redundant.

Now this is a very valid point :)

Well like I said earlier, I am no fan of Cliff however he did move things on somewhat. His very early performances were very risque for the day
( they'd be laughingly tame today) though he was soon sucked up into the clean cut style that we know to today. Judging these guys by todays standards is doing them a great disservice. The world was a very different place when they kicked off. I would recommend a great book that some may find enjoyable. Written by Simon Napier-Bell it is called "Black Vinyl White Powder".

I wonder who got the royalties off Millenium Prayer, anyway.

Always wanted to see the sleeve of it, like. "Words: Jesus, Music: Robert Burns".

Cliffs not my cup of tea but the shadows did some great stuff and Hank Marvin does have a BKP after his tune and tone, he bought the first ever Strat in the UK too.

Cliff did have some stonkin lyrics as immortalised by 'Captain Morgan And His Hammond Organ' in Viz.

'Carrie doesn't live here, anymore. She used to have a room on the second floor. Carrie never left no for-war-ding address that was known to me, CARRIE!'

:lol:

One of my customers gets money for it strangely enough or at least the credit!!
He arranged it and is known for other work in popular christian songwriting.

Impressive, J.

The whole Trad/Old arranged thing puzzles me a bit, I must admit. I've got a book of Irish Dance music at the house, a thousand some-odd ould jigs and reels that i periodically nick chunks out of for solos, riffs etc. Thing is, these tunes are all as old as tae, and I've always thought of redoing a few of them in a riock context, but stumbled over who to pay.

Well, King Solomon never got a credit for the lyrics to 'Turn, Turn, Turn'...
