It seems reasonable to draw this to people's attention, since its subject was a key part of an influential if short period of my life. I haven't seen any advance version but I think it includes some use of a photograph of Gerry and his producer Hugh Murphy that I took in a small studio in Worthing in 1980 - they were there co-producing Richard and Linda Thompson, if memory serves. Right Down the Line will be shown on BBC 4 TV later.

ReplyDeleteOn another point entirely a link to an obituary of the great Jerry Lieber, whose death does not seem to have been noted here:

MIchael, I thought you might be interested in this blog post by cartoonist Kim Deitch.

Large mention of the Stones, bits on Bloomfield, Blind Willie McTell, and others.
A few of the earlier posts might interest you as well. One deals mostly with Elvis.

Thanks to you both for these links: both interesting.
ReplyDeleteMichael, Here is a menu to the previous posts in the series.

Considerable Elvis content in posts four and five, and in the comments for those posts.

MIchael, By way of the blog posts I sent along there are two other very interesting links which came up. A really exceptional article on Stagger Lee, and an equally great piece of research on Harry Pace.
