they are all
older than me?
Last Waltz
cast list is in there so is it vaguely something to do with all appearing in concerts/shows that are tributes to someone?
Is it a Bob Harris...
..wet dream?
ha ha
ha!
They all...
...have legs?
They all...
Appear in this list, all of them arranged alphabetically by surname?
Scorcese
Worked with him in some way/were filmed by him/had films made about them by him?
There is a very tenuous Scorsese connection. . .
but you're not really on the right track.
OK, some more names to add
Bayer-Sager, Carole
Costello, Elvis
Donovan
Midler, Bette
Wainwright, Loudon
And some more?
Cooder, Ry
Fagen, Donald
Manchester, Melissa
Streisand, Barbra
Last clue: the answer's here
They're...
All in the audience at a Richard Thompson show?
Damn.....
Before you added Bette Midler, the correct answer was they are all on my iPod. Someone always has to spoil the fun.
Donovan
Twice?
Give us another clue
Lots of them have family (siblings, children, partners) who are also performers...but lots of them don't (at least that I know of).
Any mileage there?
Is it...
Something to do with spelling?
Er...
Did I get Carole Bayer-Sager wrong again?
Jim Keltner
The answer is that they have all at one time or another employed the services of the great Jim Keltner on drums. Can I have my five pounds please?
...is the correct answer!
He was 65 last month and isn't planning on retiring yet.
Oh dear
I fear mob justice.
For how many decades has it been a truism…
That Keltner has played with anyone who's anyone? Mob, ahoy!
Not *quite* true
Liza Minnelli is still waiting for him to pick up the phone, while Macca never calls, never writes....
The tenuous Scorsese connection, by the way, was that Robbie Robertson dragged him in to play on the soundtrack for The King of Comedy .
Still, not a bad CV, all told, is it. And I left off a few who I thought might make it too easy (Lennon, Ringo, Roy Orbison, etc.)
The full thing's here for those (few, it seems) who are interested and have oiled their scroll wheels: http://www.geocities.com/peryharry/jimkeltner.html
No offence
but I'm actually glad I didn't know the answer to this......(Erects scaffold!)
Cover story
Have they or will they appear on the cover of Word Magazine ?
I like
the way people are still trying to guess the answer even though it's been given...
LOWEST GIG ATTENDANCE
Over the years I have attended many gigs and wondered where were the rest of the punters.
Last week I saw singer/songwriter Kim Richey the night before she was the featured studio artist on Radio 2's Bob Harris programme. There were no more than 40 people in the Gallery at Aberdare's Coliseum for a hour and a half set from one of American music's finest.
That was not the lowest though I think that honour fell to British singer songwriter Julian Dawson(Plainsong) in a pub in Newport, South Wales. About 10 people if he was lucky and I was on the Guest List!
That attendance was only marginally less than turned up at Cardiff's Point for one of my musical heroes, Tim Rose. Sadly the man died weeks after my son & I witnessed a superb set.
I wonder what tales of empty spaces contributors can recall?
