Mark Albrighton Posted July 18 VT Supporter Share Posted July 18 I only know Bob Newhart through his cameos in things like the Simpsons, TBBT, I know he’s in Elf…I’ve not seen any of, what would be considered, his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two sitcoms he created are true classics, as are his legendary comedy albums from the 60s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably one of the reasons why Ronnie became so able to apply his talent so effectively in the second half of his career. I kinda grew up on snooker, my Grandad lived and breathed the game and maybe it’s just my bias but I think Ray Reardon is such an important figure in the game that you’d have to put him on a ‘Mount Rushmore’ of snooker players alongside Davis, Hendry and O’Sullivan. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il_serpente Posted July 24 VT Supporter Share Posted July 24 4 hours ago, psavfc81 said: John Mayall. Legend. Will get his album out tomorrow This one hits hard. He was the first artist I became obsessed with in my late teens. I discovered him when a childhood friend and I were going through my dad's albums in the mid-seventies and he found a Mayall album and said, "this guy's a legend." That album, "Ten Years are Gone", is still one of my favorites. I started collecting everything of his I could get my hands on as a broke college student. I was lucky enough to get to see the Bluesbreakers reunion at the Beacon Theater on Broadway in New York in 1982, with John McVie, Mick Taylor and Colin Allen. A friend knew how much I liked him and learned about the show and bought tickets. We were in school in upstate New York at the time and made a weekend trip to NYC to see the show. It's probably my fondest concert memory. The only other time I saw him live, in San Francisco in the early '90's, was with a new long-time girfriend and we made a staycation of it in the city rather than drive home late at night after the show. I think we may even have consummated our relationship that night. Many fond memories associated with this guy aside from his musical contributions. I'll be falling asleep to his music tonight. RIP John. Oh, and I reluctantly had him as part of my VT Deadpool selection of all Johns a couple of years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess I know. It's the only one I own (purely for Clapton). Never could stand Mayall's singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
