American Troubador by Warrigal Mirriyuula
The Eagles, and each of them individually, tightly control their copyrights so this list doesn’t include certain songs I’d like to have included because they are sadly not available for free. These are what I could find on Youtube.

Sorry to be so late to this party, there was a lot of traffic on the way, all heading here…late-comers usually leave late too, keeping the hosts up…
At least that’s how I remember it.

Oh course I couldn’t let a mellow rage go by without post my all time favourite Eagles song.
Special thanks to Douglas Adams who put me onto this one. Vale.

As the Vogon said, “Resistance is useless.”
I loved this on the Eagles’ album. It was played on high rotation on 2JJ, and then along came the radio play of “Hitchhikers”. It was at the time simply the best radio play I’d ever heard.
Did your love of Adams include the Dirk Gently novels? There were two I think; “Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency” and “The Long Dark Tea Time Of The Soul”. Both hilarious and somehow quite serious speculations about time, human existence and the nature of identity.
He was a terrifically talented guy.

Ooooh, I used to listen to double J, and I stumbled across Hitchhikers there too. The treasures you stumble across are all the more treasured for that. For me it’s definitely best as a radio play rather than a book of TV show, but that might just be for sentimental reasons. When it got to TV, putting Arthur Dent in a dressing gown was an inspired piece of costuming.
I think that that was probably where I heard Gormenghast as a radio play as well.

Yes excellent radio play, BBC TV series and book. The American movie was wasn’t too bad but the BBC was much better.
Yes I read the Dirk Gently series fantastic. And Arthur Dent in a dressing ground who could never quite get the hang of Tuesdays, absolutely brilliant.
Does anyone remember Nude Radio with the Aunty Jack boys on double jay?

Over in “The Link” I’ve just posted two links to Russell Guy’s “Whats Rangoon To You Is Grafton To Me”, one the script and the other, the complete MP3.
Its another of my favourite radio plays.

Just going through them and got caught out. Feeling the rapture after the harmonies, in End of The innocence’ (&steel guitar)and the song with James Taylor & Joni Mitchell, I though that I would plough on a bit. Then got hit with the curved ball.
You sneaked that one in WM: The Iranian. So, I looked him up and played a few more. Interesting.

Love it! A grunge version. fantastic, love it. It adds all the youth angst and alienation, indissolubly mixed with youthful invincibility, a real blaze of glory.
And I note they get a lot like The Tubes at about 1:10 and again at about 2:25. Just fantastic.

Yeah, but what kind of pillock plays an upside-down Les Paul? If he’d used an SG he’d still be able to get all those really high notes up the top end of the fretboard!
