I heard the question at a recent meeting of the ZG pub quiz team and the answer is

elvis costello and little hands of concrete. The name arises I think from king of america where EC hired a bunch of top flight us session guys Think ex presley band rather than steely dan/sting etc. These guys weren't that impressed with EC's guitar playing. they're lucky they didn't hear him play the piano.

my question

who said uttered a phrase that could be translated as 'more farmyard building' and why?

 

Old McDonald?

And why? Because his sheep were getting a bit frisky and had to be seperated from the geese?

 

err no

try google except for 'farm building' use your imagination. question is almost hifi related

John

Hi john,

Hi

It's Bobby Valentino. He was a Clark Gable lookalike and has played on many records as a session player. He was also in the Hank Wangford band. Who I have seen & enjoyed.

He also took the Bluebells to court over royalities, even though he was just a session player, and won.
