[Olog-hai]

Now this Tuesday is a forever afternoon.

Funny how Hayward-era songs are applying to Laine.

Well there’s only one Laine Moodies song I know.

I this may explain the anger...

Heather Mills says she teaches daughter saxophone because Paul McCartney ‘can’t read music’ Mills describes how she passed on her 'very musical' genes to daughter Beatrice

“I taught her the saxophone, because her father can’t read music so I do all the music teaching”

Thank you, I was going to post the same thing!

I imagine when Wings were on their first (informal) tour of northern English college campuses, Paul was at the wheel at their van and probably weaving all over the motorway. Why not? "Any lane" rhymes with "Denny Laine". :)

RIP Denny.

He died on a Tuesday Afternoon.

Laine didn't stick around to cut Tuesday Afternoon and its album Days of Future Passed.* He quit the Moodies shortly after Go Now.

*I bought an old copy of DoFP at a flea market in the late '80s. I love the album versions of TA and Nights in White Satin on that disc, which I later gave to a yard sale by my church.

[“Listen To What The Man Says”]

Along with “Junior’s Farm” and “Helen Wheels” (oy) songs I remember from the 1970’s that I now recall that I enjoyed hearing.

“Junior’s Farm” appears to reference Oliver Hardy from “Laurel and Hardy”(?)

(For those who don’t know, (I’m sure the guys I pinged know) Denny Laine is between Paul McCartney on the right and Jimmy McCulloch on the left)

Always loved Jimmy McCulloch playing on this song
