FunkJazz&Blues

New to twitter, just feeling my way through the confusion & wonderment at the moment. Jazz & Funk are my life & love, as are old films, golden age, pre-code & silent. Early counter culture, avant-garde & the Beat generation are my life worn bag. Come say Hi, if you dig.

@djdebgrant 'ere guv'nor, wot time's the raffle? Got me eye on that bottle o' port. *hic*

Our new project has launched! Sharing ridiculous stories from the DJ booth. This is a personal favourite 👇

@djdebgrant Hokey Cokey was a floor filler in my day, honestly I'd be chuffed to f*ck if suddenly got played in some trendy club full of them there young'uns.

@Vaclavjoseph @no_frankly @thehistoryguy Okay, I stand corrected. I've been told many times it's offensive, happy to be corrected though.

@B_FunkJazz @no_frankly @thehistoryguy I am Czech and love the handy short name Czechia

@no_frankly @thehistoryguy Okay, Czech Republic and Slovakia. Sadly I'm old enough to still use "Czechoslovakia" as do many Czechs. One name they absolutely hate is Czechia which alot of English speaking people use.

@B_FunkJazz @thehistoryguy You visit Czechoslovakia? Do you need a carnet for the time machine, too?

@gnaddrig @thehistoryguy True, I suppose it depends on the frequency of visits and the contacts/relationships formed.

@B_FunkJazz @thehistoryguy Good if you have somewhere to store all those spares. Will not be possible for many people, I guess.

F*cking disgraceful. Anyone having anything, whatsoever, to do with #WorldCup2022 should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. Really boils my piss! 😡

Anyone asking ‘is Paul McCartney overrated?’ on social media, should be required, by law, to include their C.V. with their post

What a wonderfully misleading diagram in the Times today 📈

@mrwbw That's just plain crazy. 🤯

@cmsdual90 @MichaelRCaputo @Pink I wear pink underwear! And socks, & shirts, and ties. I like pink. 🤷‍♂️

I'm an old (ish) white man who is often sad, however, I've been in the entertainment business for coming on 30 years now, do I get a pass?

@thewhippetbeans @SaucySeventies 🤣🤣🤣

@SaucySeventies Never seen a keyboard shop on a beach before, poorly thought out business model that.

Saucy Seventies Alternative Glastonbury! Emerging techno talent Mario Mathy with Jump!

@gwensnyderPHL As a serial protester back in the 80s & 90s, I can wholeheartedly recommend the British S6 gas mask, gets a bit sweaty but gas, tear or otherwise, has absolutely no effect on you, also has the added bonus of looking menacing as hell. Still got my old faithful.

Viewing this from "across the pond", I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking WHAT THE F*CK IS GOING ON OVER THERE?! #RoeVsWade #PlessyVsFerguson #BrownVsBoardOfEducation

Sarah Vaughan, "Black Coffee". 1949. Nothing else needs saying. youtu.be/CRyN9wQ1taY

@timeasley @djdebgrant Not like that I hope. 🤣

@FullanChris Once again, The Simpsons were ahead of the curve.

@B_FunkJazz Canada may need to build a wall

How long will it be before we see Americans coming across the English Channel in rubber dinghies seeking refuge from their authoritarian, despotic government? #AmericaInCrisis #RoeVsWadeOverturned #GayRightsAreNext

@HamDried Horatio, he was an Englishman... obviously.
