Mike, the good news it is almost certainly muscular - I saw the osteopath earlier, which was helpful and reassuring. I haven’t been having a good run recently!

Good grief, this thread reminds me of some of my horror vehicles! Morris Marina, what can I say, first car and about all I could afford. Hysterical steering ie purely advisory. Turn the wheel, sometime later the car would change direction. Thankfully, not a particularly fast car. It eventuality...

Now that is a decent space to play with…

And to think all those years ago the 8000a was my first proper amplifier. I liked it, a lot. Yet I do understand why others don’t. Marmite!

Thanks. Yes, I am shuffling about. Lots of involuntary yelps from yours truly. For the time being I am having to limit medication. Won’t go into that now whilst tests are ongoing.

As ever, simply astounding.

I quite like this. Yes, there are a lot of similarities with all manner of bands, the harmonies, the early Chicago, the early Santana, and so on. Reading about them on All Music and Prog Archives seems to suggest this is their high watermark.

I don’t know if this is a pointer - but, this is a battle scene. Guns, swords and such like. So, who thought it a good idea to send some poor chap out to fight with a trumpet?

Lepsons.

Saucisson, some cheese (particularly blue) and red wine. Heaven. Albeit my intake these days must be significantly modified.

Gypsy. A band I do not recognise. I will check out and report back.

Soul Mining. The first side is epic. Never really got into side two!

Good post JoeJoe. It prompted me to dig this out. I haven’t listened to it in years. Yes, I can picture this being performed in a theatre now. A tale of the times, perhaps just as much now, some forty years since it was released.

Tractor tyres!
