Don't let it go to your head ~ Jean Carne

Love the theme for Weds, joins some really good ones recently GIO folks and nice choices team. Ok, crawling over, how about anything by Kate McGarrigle, Annie Lennox or Sharleen Spiteri. I know Ms S was on last night, but that was in Texas days, so mebbe a solo song? MadhufromEdinburgh

I am not sure how yummy she really is, but Mrs Boss has a couple of pretty good lp's (though she is brutal and intrusive on hubby Boss records). Anyway...Gaie Brown will name that guitarist, keyboard player and co-writer in one:

Patti "Bossette" Scialfa - As Long As I Can Be With You or Lucky Girl

One further thought: Alone by Heart (both the Wilson sisters are mothers).

Joe
Linlithgow

# 14 Would it be the very versatile and personable Mike Campbell who manages to play guitar and keyboards at the same time as writing tunes?

Very well done Gaie.

You mean very well done Google!

Henri, Carlos Sangria would go completely unnoticed here in Greenock where I can personally vouch for Chelsea, Kobi, Chantal, Jaime, Tyrone, Savannah and Tiffany. Only Zappa's brood would merit a raised eyebrow.

What about Pocahontas McGinty. she must be just about leaving high school by now

That Ciccione wifey has lots o' kids, all hand picked

Na on second thoughts I would just win the moderators raffle

...and Apple Pie

2 options:

1) Our own, our very own, Eddi Reader.
While I'm loving the solo stuff, I'd like to step back to a couple of the less obvious Fairground Attraction tracks:
* Falling Backwards as it's a cheeky wee number
* Over the Rooftops for the Eastern European Jazz feel, with the clarinet

2) June Carter
who had a child with each husband, all 3 of whom was musically successful.
Best tracks - avoiding the duets with Johnny Cash:
* Juke Box Blues
* Ring of Fire - her version with the autoharp, before Le Johnny got in on the act.

#18

I read 'Zappa' as 'Zaphod' and thought "Blimey, they *are* exotic on the Clyde Riviera"

#18. There's a family near me with children named Savannah, Georgia and Dakota. I love Alexander McCall Smith's idea of a child of vegan parents being named Tofu!

Kids Say The Darndest Things ~ Miss Tammy Wynette

THE BANKS OF THE CLYDE from FASHIONABLY LATE by LINDA THOMPSON

Mother of TEDDY and KAMILA, who also appear on this album, this is a song about a woman who misses her home town of Glasgow by a woman from Glasgow who is never likely to be played on this show.

The ultimate mother must be 77 year old GILLI SMYTH, still going strong and appearing with GONG at ABC Glasgow on 9th September. Even less likely to be played on this show

SHE’S THE MOTHER OF……. from EYE by MOTHER GONG

I won’t hold my breath.

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

#23 We are! We are!

And I'll therefore most emphatically second Fred's Banks of the Clyde song

#28 - Fred thought he could swim in and out of the net with impunity. Poor Fred.

Maybe they'll throw him back.

;o)

Hooray! I'm on a roll.


Here's another one that Gaie will recognize! This yummy mummy had a girl and a boy when she was married to Len Tuckey.


For Wednesday - Breakdown - Suzi Quatro

:o)

#24 - Julie - I'll bet if Dakota had been a girl they would have called her Sioux.

;o)

I Don't Wanna Play House ~ Miss Tammy Wynette

Who are the women who have balanced bringing up a family with a career in the music biz?
Get in touch with their best songs...
You're having a laugh, most celebs have a lady that does... Can't see Madge steepin' the nappies!

Disappointingly, yet another prior theme idea re badged!

Suggestion for a theme :

Those songs that dwell in your memory because your brother or sister played them all the time and they became part of your early years.
I couldn't stand Warren Zevon songs when my older brother played them in the 70's but now I love'em !

Sort of like inheritance tracks - but not.

Ian in Partick.

'Samantha' ... Hole (Courtney Love)

... one to blast the dead cert 'twees' (ie Charlene, Annie, Madge et al) out of their (probably white) cotton sox!

#27 ... like the cut of your jib Fred me old Fish. Would gladly second the Gong shout ... tis high time the Gnomes and Pixies had more respect ...

Oh well, I don't expect they'll be great support for my Jordan suggestion and since the theme has developed a bit since it's dubious beginings into female artists who happen to be mothers, i withdraw my previous request.

So here's a couple to get going:

Kate Bush - Somewhere Inbetween from the album Ariel

most magnificent and beautiful, worth a play - one child, Bertie. I think she abandoned her career when Bertie was wee, so not sure that's in the rules - but each to their own - but at least he's got a mostly sensible name

Sandie Shaw - Think Sometimes About Me or I Don't Think You Want Me Anymore

'Think Sometimes About Me' was played on songwriters night, so maybe the other Chris Andrews number above would be good. Fve children all with sensible names as far as I know. Something of a superwoman, became a famous pschycotherapist post recording and uses art and music as part of her therapy techniques.Obviously, all her help and skill made no improvement in Morrisey, which I'm sure she sees as a huge failure, but I suspect he was already beyond redemption.

regardez youse

henri

Many mouths say Messiah, Messiah when will come He will rise by the standing stones Rise by the rising Sun King Many mouths say the 'Festival' Mother... Get Gong On!

Many mouths say the Mother. The Mother she comes soon. She was born with the pregnant earth. Rise with the waxing Moon Mother, Maya Mother....Get GONG on!

This lady was on the Music Cafe today - she has a son called Egan

Icarus Wind - Thea Gilmore

and fancy forgetting in my names list: Marlin Zebediah - my cousin's youngest. If any of you are into dub then my cousin is one of Mungo's Hi-Fi. No I haven't a clue, but he's a good lad and they seem to do very well all over the world.

That's 3 on the blog for Gong so far - I think that counts as VERY POPULAR TONIGHT

GONG's time has come.

let's Get It On

Bang a Gong...

'5 bang for Gong' ... an unlikely GIO heading if ever there was one

Bring on the flying teapots!

#42

Sounds like an Enid Blyton adventure. With lashings of ginger beer!!!

I say, where's Cynthia just when we need her?

She wandered off with George. They do seem to get on rather well.

#44 I say ! I'm here !

#45 Who is "George"? I don't know him to wander off with

CITY OF SELF FASCINATION from 2032 by GONG

Oh, dash it! Timmy's scarfed all of Aunt Fanny's doughnuts!! Now he'll be for it!!!

#46 He`s a she. And Tim is her dug.

#46 He`s a she. And Tim is her dug.

#46 He`s a she.
And Tim is her dug.

#47 And no one makes doughnuts like...

Sorry folks. Dont know what happened there.

#46

Oh, Cinders, you're such a tease! You know George is a girl!

Now, where's that naughty Timmy hiding?

#44 I say, I'm here!!!!

#45 Who is George. I don't know him to wander off with


CITY OF SELF FASCINATION from 2032 by GONG

I say! déjà vu!! Again!!!

#51

I say! That's what Uncle Quentin said!! And he should know!!!

I say! It's Miss Babs!

My Yummy Mummy is got to be Kate Bush, 'This Woman's Work' superb!!!

Another female favourite is mine is Annie Lennox for whom I wish to share my Annie Lennox story.

I was doing a sponsored run around the SECC in 1988. We had to shower there after the run but the shower area was getting too busy so this security guy showed us through to another area and on the door it says 'Eurythmics' who had played there the night before. I then went to another door in the changing room that said 'Annie's Shower'. So in I went and in the shower was a champagne cork and a used bar of soap with a short and curly on it. So I just had to use it. My claim to fame is that my pubes and Annie's have rubbed together.

If only EBAY was on the go then what would I have got for that bar of soap.

J.O'B. (Working on Islay just now)

#57 the champion of the blog is back eh? And on MILF night too! I trust this chat of a face lift is not true. Where is Hoppo - he will be able to tell.

Has Yoko Ono been on yet?

Yoko Ono - Walking On Thin Ice

#58

Well, I have it on good authority that waxing and electrolosis intervened to mean that it was probably one of Dave's and definately not one of Annie's.

You'd consider yourself lucky if all you got was a doze of the crabs, never mind fortunes on ebay.

#60

Norrie,

Huge 2nd for Yoko - (John always referred to her as 'Mother')

Walking on Thin Ice is the only thing that she's done that is any good -but it really is very very good.

And John Lennon's contribution was his last recorded work.

#58.
Didn't MacLean & MacLean cover that subject ?.
