In This Week's Playlist :-

 

Shirleyphiles I can hear you saying to yourselves "Why oh why is la Shirl donning leather and lace in the Australian Summer?" Vanity? ...not moi!...Is she trying to be a fashion "victim" by wearing such inappropriate clobber in the current climate? ....me TRY to be a fashion victim?...au contraire....oh no guys and dolls...this week it's a HARD rockin radio Shirley for the Birthday boy of the moment...everyone's favourite decorator, electrical gadget boffin, fount of useful knowledge, maker of a mean home brew and sometime biker dude...the ever so congenial Stephen! So I'm slipping into my Emma Peel biker leathers, jump starting my customised Ducati and taking a wild ride down the highway of 70's guitar and glam rock into far "butch-er" territory...Shirley style natch...than we've ever travelled down before.

Tempted as I was to just whack on a side of Led Zep's "Physical Graffitti" for Steve ....Kashmir rocks buddy! *wink*.... I made an executive decision against it ......So in this week's high voltage but gloriously low-fi half hour our gang consists of Ian Hunter, Lou Reed, War, Alice Cooper, Gary Glitter, Suzi Quatro, Led Zepplin, Sweet, and la Shirl's favourite falsetto Tiny Tim, displaying a rather uncharacteristic baritone growl to wrap it all up with his take on the Acca Dacca classic Highway To Hell! What a way to ride into a one pub town with that pack of assorted luvverlies! Heaven on a gear shift indeed!

So hold onto your helmets sweet things, join moi in a good old spit into the wind and a truckstop toast to Lisa's Birthday boy, Stephen! *la Shirl drops an octave for a hearty and well meaning..... "Cheers mate!"*

till next time...take care and play fair....

*smooches* Shirley
