>Mix and Match #9

[Disclaimer #1: The mixes and the majority of the tracks from all of these mixtapes are the original C90s from the late 70’s/early mid 80’s. Vinyl to tape. Play a couple of hundred times. Tape to mp3. Snap, crackle, pop and hums are free of charge]

[Disclaimer #2: Meg from Nelson is helping out for a couple of weeks. To say that our musical tastes have few touch points would be an understatement. If you’re surprised to find Barry Manilow, Andy Williams or Liberace here, don’t look at me]

No Phil Collins. I think I was in remission.
Nice linkage here. I think so, anyway
Starts with Wolfgang Ambros and Dylans” Like a rolling stone” with an impenetrable Austrian accent. Great reading.
Then Bob with “Jokerman” – Mark Knopfler with delicacy counterpointing Mick Taylor’s raunchy edge
Then Knopfler from “Local Hero” – one of the great “small” films
Then the Eagles with “All night long” from “Urban Cowboy”. Played in Houston as did “Local Hero”
“Caravan” because Van the Man really would have played all night long ” One more time”… kick”
Clapton was there on the night, too and I first heard “Badge” driving my bosses car to the airport through the Domain in Auckland
Trivia: George Harrison was at Eric’s place and said “”Badge”.That’s an interesting title” and Eric said “No, George. It’s says “Bridge” That’s the bridge. But then again, why not…?”
True story.
Fizzles out there, but Meatloaf and Steinmann match.
And if you want more Zevon, there’s a “Don’t ask me (about WZ)” from last week
