You've missed a subtlety, punkfolkrocker. Easily done with yer man. He put a lot of them into his act.

Jake used to do the "no encores" bit but end with," So that song I just sang was my last one . . . now here's a couple more".

Then he would do a couple more songs and THEN he'd walk off never to return.

Saw him do it several times. Loved it every time.

yeah.. my memory has suffered a great deal in the last 30 years..

but whatever he did..

and however he did it..

.. he certainly made a considerable impression on us
all those years ago..

me and my mate had 3 main pre-punk era 'role models'

Eddie Cochran, Wilko Johnson and Jake..

and then we discovered MC5 and the new york dolls..

and Pentangle and Gong.......

errr.. late 70's provincial west country punk-hippy scene
is maybe best lost forgotten in the mists of time..

odd what diverse strange things influence your music making
for the rest of yer life..

anyway.. after watching the TV shows my mrs has decided she now
likes Jake..

and wont object too much if i buy a few of his newly released CDs !!!

As Mudcat is based in USA it does show the correct time (there), give or take a little ...

I had the pleasure of working with Jake on numerous occasions, a wonderful talent and a gentleman.

On one gig when I did the support, we were backstage and I asked Jake, "How would you like me to introduce you?" Jake said, "Just say… Jake Thackray, and get me on, I hate this bit, I just need to get on and then I'll be alright".

A true talent and sadly missed.

I did a recording with Jake for BBC radio, it was called "Humoresque" which was a series introduced by the late Tony Capstick.

It was recorded live at "The Old Profanity Show Boat" in Bristol.

Has anyone got a copy of the recording? I would love to hear it after all these years.

Correct time can be generated in JavaScript but it does depend on the accuracy of your PC clock, and then the posting times would all have to be ammended and........... I don't see it being done - too much effort for little return. Max has to earn to feed his family. And how is the bambino ?

So would I Y Not - any offers?

Jake taught with my dad so I knew him for a very long time and Tony was a good friend for many years. Shame neither of them are no longer with us.

Ok, it was a lovely programme, so thanks again to Joy Bringer!
Re Time zones: so if it's going to be too difficult to cater for everyone in every part of the world could they not put a suffix of which time zone it is (as I did - GMT)? Then those of us with a wee bit maths could work it out: as far as I know the "USA" has several different time zones, Nigel.
So guess it's New York? 5 hours' difference. Not getting at anyone here, as Mudcat is wonderful! Big Smiley!
