...talk to Gordon’s wee dog, Tufty, then fall asleep. I’d attempt a casual blunder home in the wee hours, trying unsuccessfully, not to sing this utter gem, a tad too loud. Great, carefree, if a smidgen hazy, days...how I miss ‘em...

I just had a scary vision of you circa 1980 in some seedy nightclub off Sauchiehall St....white suit, cuban heels, mirror ball reflecting off your Foster Grants trying to pull some young hottie...and you nearly did, until she noticed, that wasn't a Paisley pattern shirt you were wearing but chicken chow mein.

Only one second is enough to recognize this song. Happy tune!

andypritchard

That would be 'Jump To The Beat" I reckon… i was a proper original punk but also realised in about 1978 that tagging along to assist my chum on his mobile disco was a far more reliable way to meet… wait! women! Such hypocrisy! Such fun!

It's good to hear George Benson again and to get of glimpse of your misspent youth!

I was reading this eagerly, awaiting a wise old sage's profound lesson of life to be drawn to a conclusion for all to learn life's bitter-sweet lessons & all we get is drunks slumped in chairs, no chicks & covered in brown stains.....bah!! what a let down!! ;-D

@debutch DC, wise and profound are two words seldom found anywhere near my page and certainly never in the same post! Y'know, I had edged away from old TIMJ because I'm still not sure how I want to play it all, post closure. I posted this, as I'd already written the blurb, weeks ago and thought what the hey, it's there, use it. there's maybe a couple more in there, yet...old times sake & all that. Loop is a no-no. Easy decision. Nusiki is easy. The founders have (like Loop) tried hard and...

5 years, 4 months ago

21schizoid

@debutch ...well done to them. It still seems small and clumsier than here, though. A lot of stuff packed into a small space. But most of all, it's easy and that I need, if I'm doing this at all. Posted one track. Picked up an inordinately (for me) large number of Followers, not all of whom have been reciprocated...some of the toons these folks that Follow me listen to, makes me wonder what the hell they're earwiggin' me for!! Follower Gatherers...anyhoo, I'll stay backstage...

5 years, 4 months ago

21schizoid

@debutch ...and play it like I feel appropriate. Just didn't imagine ever havin' to make these decisions. TIMJ is/was so right. Never even blinked at another platform. Progress?!? Shove it, springs to mind...

5 years, 4 months ago

21schizoid

@christineb Hahaha. See me as a roller skater do you, Chrissy? Not on those Friday nights, I'd wager. Love Georgey boy...always brings a huge grin to my face...my past is littered with naughtiness...fortunately, I'm not the guilty type... ;-D

alan_edmonds

Great track - takes me back to those days too. Love the backing vocals - seems to help give it that 'night time in the city' sort of feel. And as for chips and curry sauce... that was something I seemed to have a lot back then too! :-D

@alan_edmonds Ah Al, if only Cillit Bang had been invented then, all my white stuff would look less like I'd vomited on it!! ;-D Totally agree on those backing vocals...just wonderful...

I competely agree with your comment on my last jam. I would have let it stay longer, but I felt that world events, in particular round the Mediterranean, were more important. And what better place to post this musical outcry than on my social media.

@dutchbeeblebrox Thanks Jan...totally understand and concur...

Quality yarn, PB. I remember dating a young lady many moons ago, and in her record collection was a George Benson album. Nothing really out the ordinary (although we went to see The Cult, Siouxsie ATB and more together) but the record cover was George on roller skates, playing a guitar. Top Man is old GB...

5 years, 4 months ago

21schizoid

@cbinseoul Cheers, Craigy. Totally a class act, old Geo. Moozik's amazing it, ain't it? "Yeh, I'm a big George Benson fan. Not seen him live yet, but I'm seein' The Cult next week!!" Brilliant stuff... :-D

5 years, 4 months ago

cbinseoul

@21schizoid Aye. Good stuuf. Where are you seeing The Cult? I'd be up for some of that...'no bought a good T-shirt in yonks ^^

5 years, 4 months ago

21schizoid

@cbinseoul Haha. Communication misfire! Was playin' out your old burdz conversation,'bout bein' a Geo fan, yet poppin' off to see The Cult! In fact I did see those Cult types, supporting Simple Minds at Ibrox, back in 1986. Now I'm sure I've got that t-shirt somewheres... ;-D

Haha...Those pesky quotation marks..that's why they were there...doh! Nae bother. I was at that Simple Minds gig too. In Tua Nua were on the bill as well as The Cult?

Such a tune.

5 years, 4 months ago

debutch

Yeh, it's looking more & more like all my favourite jammers will be split between 2 camps. It's like the bloody Berlin Wall !! Seriously, it' s all such a shame. I'm thinking of when a brilliant thread is going on on LL or maybe a great prog tune is posted & I'm thinking oh!..what would Pepe make of this?....or vice versa with Nusiki... I'm still believing a "hero" will appear at the very last second to take over TIJMJ AND eliminate all the restrictions too....fat chance,eh? ...:-(

Are there no programers about who could start up a little site for us out there I have no idea how these things work I know when I was having my website built there was an option to have a chat room so how hard can it be?

My dad had this album and we played the heck out of it. Love George Benson.

@amortentia Indeed it is, Taija... :-D

5 years, 4 months ago

21schizoid

@debutch @psyclopstrees Grouped us all in on this, as I believe we're (trying to) address the same issue. Ok, I didn't like Loop from minute uno (worst kept secret). However, until Jamsiki came along, the only 'community' fragmentation I envisaged, was Jammers like myself, not looping and effectively, retiring. However, the minute I found Jamsiki and tried it, I knew exactly what would happen...and it has. In short DC, you're right. I guess most of us don't have the time (or in my case, desire)

5 years, 4 months ago

21schizoid

@debutch @psyclopstrees ...to do both, so the worst case scenario is upon us. I don't have the savvy to fathom out an alternative. What I do know from watching a Nusiki intro video, is that they expect this thing to make money and therein lies the problem. I guess even if a program could be established, it would need someone's unpaid time to handle and no-one's gonna' do that. I believe therefore, we're stuffed and how sad that our Jamsters have to be split up in this way...

5 years, 4 months ago

21schizoid

@debutch @psyclopstrees ...ps. I'm not in lurve with Jamsiki...I just see it as the best option...other than doing 'nowt...

@21schizoid I'm ALWAYS up for a bit o George. What a treat. Pulled into my drive in my beaten up bogie green coloured (yes that's the colour on the log book) Peugeot 106 whilst blasting this tune out, got out of my beloved, what I call, crate and heard the bin men on the street singing it. It's infectious!

@21schizoid ooops, I told you a little story about me driving onto my drive in my bogie green coloured car while blasting this tune out, and me hearing the bin men on the street singing it and it being infectious but it looks like I '@' the wrong person! What a dork

5 years, 4 months ago

21schizoid

@ulittletwit Ok Jules, I'm real easily confused, so I'm sticking with the original version!! Whatever, you're very sweet. If I embark on that book, I will personally autograph your copy...well, I'll have to do something, you'll be the only one in the queue... ;-D

I don't know what's involved in running these things. have you had a look at cookd & bombd (not my bad spelling this time) it's an intresting site I go there for information once in a while, they have 3 different forums the one for music is called osilations you can post in there or you can start your own thread I think you might enjoy it in there... http://www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/forums/index.php/board,5.0.html?PHPSESSID=6d5295fbb73a83dfd9c17d1e19c19dbd

At the moment, I'm on TIMJ, NUS AND LL & it's taking up way too much of my time.Well in 2 weeks, I'll only be on two but even that is too much really. The idea is to let LL & NUS scrap it out for my affections the most after some weeks & I'll choose to stay with the winner only. I AM very sad at the thought of eventually losing a fair number of my favourite jammers....ah..(sigh)...shit happens, I suppose.....

@21schizoid - Hey you old curmudgeon, before you roll that large boulder across the entrance to your cave have a quick look at 'God's Jukebox'. It's the nearest thing I've seen to TIMJ. Quick & simple to use (a bit like me...so the wife says).

5 years, 4 months ago

heatherrings

@21schizoid Have got at lot of very nice memories of TIMJ. A good many of those relating to some very silly conversations with you. Thanks for all the laughs and giggles. :-D xx big hug (Oh - there have been some rather good tunes too.)

@Cranky Thank ya' sir. Almost anything is better than that Loop tragedy. I see a further crumbling in our community,young man. The Jukey does look pretty neat and I see folks over there, too. Some like me, that are already on Jamsiki (albeit, on an extremely part-time basis). Now from scramble to uberchoice...it's all gonna' end in tears ma' friend...

Oi, Pepe. Give GJB a go mate. Here's a link to the FB group https://www.facebook.com/groups/811944658922848/?notif_t=group_r2j_approved you can join to help refine & finesse the site to suit our needs & wants. Ollie & co are working really hard on this site & the improvements they've made in a very short time is amazing! I reported a bug on day one & they'd fixed it & reported back to me inside 15mins! :) Oh yeah, nice toon & excellent drabble sir. :)

Oh, if it helps anyone in the decision making process, my latest communique from Siki, tells me about the Featured User of the Week. He's 16, his first gig was Miley Cyrus, his ultra fave is The Weeknd (me, neither) would love to meet Michael Jackson (could be arranged) and lurves popcorn (awww). Whilst I'm off to vomit profusely down the toilet, please someone set up a fucking adult TIMJ and if it happens to be God's Jukey, so be it. This, from an adult with a Pepe Le Pew avatar...

...and in other news, a Nusiki-ist follows me. As I do, I decide to check on his/her musical tastes, before I consider reciprocating. His/her profile is private, so I have to lodge a Follow request.

I hope to decide over the next couple of weeks......you're doing a good job making people aware though!

@debutch You have my sympathies mate. I'm on four & I can't quite keep up! Totally agree about it coming down to one in the end. GJB has it for me at present, tho it needs some refinement.
