The End of The End - Paul McCartney (2007)
The last in a long line of Macca posts. Not his finest finale by a long and winding shot, but the lyrics really resonate with me on this day of leaving:
At the end of the end
It’s the start of a journey
To a much better place
And a much better place
Would have to be special
No reason to cry
No need to be sad
At the end of the end
An End To The Matter - Lol Coxhill (1980)
A goodbye from the original LOL.
Get in touch if you don’t want to lose touch.
NUTS
Nuts proved to be a classic showcase for George Melly and the Feetwarmers live in concert (some of it had to be re-recorded as it all became rather drunken!)
The atmosphere is bawdy, raucous, rude and plays to George’s strengths - switching from the melancholy to innuendo at the drop of a hat.

Got this on LP when it first came out. It’s a great party record. The 11x11 colour (vintage hand tinted of course) photo of Melly as an insert with the caption “Wouldn’t this make a nice enlargement?” sets the tone of this irresistible live set. Out come the lyrics and the rich booming voice in peak condition through the speakers and the band plays magnificently as always with great toe tapping instrumentals. But its mainly Melly.

One of my faves! Shame that you don’t see Melly heralded nearly enough on the web.
Nuts! HOT NUTS! Get em from the peanut man…

Wait, is George Melly finally going to start taking off on Tumblr the day that I’m leaving? Oh welly… Check my tags for more Melly…
There’s Nothing Left To Do But Say Goodbye - Isham Jones Orchestra feat. Frank Sylvano (1932)
Here endeth the ‘Blr. Today’s my last day on here, so I’ll be posting a bunch of suitably melancholy and absurd farewell postings.
