Play nicely and burn the candles
A couple of trainspotting items of marginal interest, probably not warranting their separate posts.
In a recent interview, Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull talked about guitarists who played “nicely” – Hank Marvin, Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Ritchie Blackmore — “Precise, accurate, they sang melodies.” This bit starts at 3’20” and wraps up at 5’40” into the conversation.
On other news, Japanese manufacturer of bathroom fixtures Kakudai has released their 2025-2026 catalogue with a cover art that is a remake of the Burn artwork.
It is not the first time this company uses a classic album cover as inspiration for their catalogues.
Thanks to Nigel Young on both counts.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Many thanks for the Ian Anderson interview. I keep it touch with the odd interview with Anderson and a few others, as these years quickly pass us by. Plenty of history there and the link to Ritchie, a sort of link anyway from the 1970’s. Hank Marvin indeed and the Shadows. Marvin has resided in Western Australia for many decades, still gets out for a few concerts here and there. He has been in a ‘gypsy’ acoustic trio band recently. Cheers.
