There was a very nice song called "Brandy" by a band called Looking Glass that was out in 1972. I think Manilow took that and changed it to "Mandy". The original "Brandy" may well have been played in the Grove but I can't remember. ------------- May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride. Biker Pat Grove 1972-1975 |

Or people could be thinking of "I'm Mandy, fly me" by 10cc? I don't ever remember Barry Manilow being played in my time, but that was early days (71-75) ...  ------------- One of its legs is both the same |

Looking at your dates there Pat, almost identical to mine. We must have been in Belgrove on the same nights many times, but our paths just didn't cross in there. Amazing really ... ------------- One of its legs is both the same |

For sure Gerry. Gang of us on motorbikes hung out on The Beachcomber on Sat nights and The Barony in Fairview before driving up to the Grove. We usually hung out near the womens jacks or near the other end of the hall to Cecil. ------------- May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride. Biker Pat Grove 1972-1975 |

We would have drank in the park first mainly (I don't think the term knacker drinking had even been invented yet!), then from prob later in 1972 onwards it would have been a mix of The Inn or the Green Dolphin some nights, the park other nights, depending on the humour. We would have hung out largely down the back, but sometimes up the front or even on the stage beside Cecil, although that was rare enough...we tended to roam a bit as well ... ------------- One of its legs is both the same |

Yes, Cecil actually did play ‚Mandy‘ - and it did indeed „stand out“ from the rest of the slow sets in 1978 / 1979 😃 ------------- The Universe is a void full of infinite possibilities |

I think a few Manilow songs might have slipped through the cracks at the Old Grove, along with the Sedakas, Diamonds, Taylors, Carleys, Denvers etc. but If I was Cecil I wouldn't admit to it either HAH! I had an interesting conversation with a black co-worker once. He claimed that his black sisters and bros' loved Barry Manilow but hated Neil Diamond with a passion. I would have thought the opposite considering Neil's manly, gravelly voice and tight bellbottoms. Yancy wasn't the most diverse fellow in his musical knowledge or tastes however ...I told him my Ella Fitzgerald joke and he said he never heard of Ella Fitzgerald. To me that's like a white guy saying he never heard of Elvis. .

Speaking of Mandy and silly songs, here's one that Cecil definitely never played in public...(but the guy in Golden Discs confided in me that he sold him a copy back in 1969) http://www.npr.org/2019/09/20/761616330/50-years-later-the-archies-sugar-sugar-is-still-really-sweet" rel="nofollow - http://www.npr.org/2019/09/20/761616330/50-years-later-the-archies-sugar-sugar-is-still-really-sweet

HAH! Brings back memories Pat. Shortly after I moved here I went to see Dionne Warwick in concert. Someone in the audience shouted up a request for Dionne to sing "To Sir With Love" and she threw a hissy fit on stage. Then she went into this long rant about it being a Lulu song and tore the woman a new arsehole. Kinda embarrassing and ruined the show along my love for her. Trivia: Did you know that Dionne Warwick is/was Whitney Houston's aunt?

John Denver's "Annie's Song" was played at the Grove in my time there. Loved Mama Cass both solo and with Mama'& Papa's. I knew that about Dionne to Whitney link. I loved Lulu's "The Boat That I Rowed" long before I knew it was a Neil Diamond song. As you pointed out earlier Pogue Neil Diamond wrote a huge number of great songs not just for himself but for others. I think his musical prowess was recognised when The Band had him on the artist list for their incredible "Last Waltz" concert. ------------- May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

There seems to be some rule that it must be at least 25years since your first hit record or something? This year the induction ceremony is being held at The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. Usually it's held in some slum hotel in New York City, because nobody in their right mind wants to come near Cleveland –affectionately known as "The Mistake on the Lake". A bit of Rock & Roll history: I was actually on MTV and had my face on the front page of USA-Today for the opening of the Rock and Roll Museum. Jerry Garcia died a day or two before the opening and they put together a quickie memorial wall. I was on a ladder, screen printing Jerry's name when the cameras started rolling. The can of ink dropped from my hand and spattered from floor to ceiling across the entire display...one of my life's biggest disasters. I was always a master of timing. .

Me living in the Us of A I had to look up that programme/episode. It was a similar situation but broadcast live on national TV. That's the dayI changed my name from Sean to Pogue...(just to get Shane Mc Gowan blamed for it). You might have noticed that Shane has not been nominated yet. |

That's true Pat. It was around Christmas so will be about 50 years this cChristmas since I asked her to dance. I don't remember the first song we danced to but remember being surprised at her asking me if I liked Leadbelly. Her girlfriends had tipped her off ahead of time that the weirdo Sean had his beady eyes on her and that he loved Leadbelly HAH! My advice to the young is, if you ask a girl up to dance never ever buy her a Fanta and a Club Milk 'cos you never know where it might lead

Thanks Frank! I don't want this to get around so don't tell anyone (that's why I'm posting it on the internet) but I was such a Leadbelly fan that I christened my son Huddie for his middle name. Not a big deal today with all of the Chaquitas, Rodricos and Jessabels around, but back then it confused a lot of family and in-laws because they had never heard of a saint Huddie.
I had to explain that Huddie Ledbetter was the saint of 12 string guitars. Argh! the silly things you do when you are young...the poor kid has to live with being named after a black murderer-singer from Louisianna.

I was a Grover between '68 and '71 Frank so our paths must have crossed a couple of times. We probably even took a pee together without knowing it. Those Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich songs bring back memories. I think their album was appropriately named -"If Music be the Food of Love, Prepare for Indigestion."

On the subject, Frank, I saw you posted a vinyl album with loads of 60s tracks on it on Facebook. Where did you get it, may I ask? Was it online or in a shop in Dublin? ------------- TPFKAB (The Poster Formerly Known As Brunswick). |

Another nice take on the song, Frank. If I'm honest though, I prefer the original. I think it's very difficult for any artist to reinterpret music composed and performed by someone else. I'm sure there are such examples out there, but none come to mind right now. Of course, these things are largely subjective anyway, so my "meh" reaction to something might be someone else's "magnificent". I don't think the above is very clear. I had a lovely night out last night with old and dear pals, but it's taking its toll on me today lol! ------------- One of its legs is both the same |

YEH-but who has the nicest eyes: John, José or Judy? I agree that with only a few exceptions the original is better than the cover versions. Being an old strummer who struggled for years to learn the guitar I'm always impressed how some people can pick up an instrument and play it effortlessly (Judy as an example). José is a much better guitarist but he's missing that tinny steel string sound that we have all grown to love. eh - Did I mention Judy's blue eyes?

Very nice Frank. Have to say, I never heard of the band or the track (as you predicted lol ) . The producers name - Wayne Bickerton - is kinda familiar to me, but I could be getting confused on that one! I'm off to google/Wikipedia now to research the band (and the producer!) a little more ... ------------- One of its legs is both the same |

I never heard that song Frank, but not because of age. I had to look World of Oz up and found out that your song was a follow up to this "One Hit Wonder" which I remember well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4XGqcB19sw" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4XGqcB19sw

Cecil probably had most of these in his orange box when the Grove doors opened in '67 but most likely an American list of hits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJGMFHO1gVo" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJGMFHO1gVo
