Two for Tuesday. Thinks I will do (as promised) a couple from the Babys John Waite. First one from the Babys . This album was another played to death at our little house. We had one female friend that every time the party showed up, which was every Friday and Saturday nights after the bars closed down, she would shout at the top of her lungs while walking in the door " I WANNA HEAR THE BABYS! ".

Second one if from one of John Waites second band, Bad English. Notice he has Journeys lead guitar player after he split from Journey..

Someone posted Nick Lowe a while back. There just might be a few Dave Edmunds / / Rockpile fans out there too.
I couldn't decide but narrowed this down to only a two-fer. This one has the rockpile lineup and shows Nick The Knife on bass.

Written by Elvis Costello

Written by John Fogerty but I like this version best:

I'm posting this one because of the story behind it. Not really a big favorite of mine anymore, but at the time we played records continuously. Every Friday night when Brad and I got off from work, we went to the Ohio State Liquor store. We both bought one 5th for the weekend. We then went to the two record stores in town and picked out at least one new album a piece. We usually had several people over in the early evenings as I had one of the best stereos in town. We would sit around and "party" till about 10 o'clock, and then head out on the town to our favorite bars. All the bars back then had live bands. Really good bands, many times brought in from out of state to draw customers from other bars doing the same things. After hitting a few bars and 2:30 am rolled around, the bars emptied, and most evenings they emptied into our HOUSE. I can remember waking up to find all the living room furniture pushed out to the edges of the walls for the purposes of making a dance floor. The stories I could tell here are endless, but I wanna tell of the time we just about didn't see the light of the next day.
It was in the winter . Our winters back then were brutal, and anyone that remembers the 1978 79 blizzards of the Midwest can attest to. We had a huge gas heater in the living room. It was out from the wall a couple feet. In the summer months it turned into a table, or a seat for people to sit on during the party's. But in the winter, she was full tilt keeping that old house cozy. After one of our extended get together s, I awoke to the smell of something unusual.Something was just not right. As I walked out in the living room that morning, I found this album (I'm about to play a cut off it) laying on TOP of that furnace. The album had been taken out of the jacket and both were laying there. At least what was left of them. The album itself was all melted and partially burned, and the cardboard jacket was brown, like a piece of well done toast.The album had actually melted and ran into the outlet grooves on the top of the heater.. What in the heck kept us from dying in a fire that night amazes me to this day ...
So here's the album, I choose this video as its a little different..
