John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers with Gary Moore - So Many Roads
Eel Pie Island supposedly got its name from the famous pastries sold here in a distant past when that particular fish was so plentiful in the surrounding waters. For centuries, the island — accessible only by a ferry — was a retreat for those craving quiet, or privacy
Famous Rhythm and Blues Bands who played at the Eel Pie Island Hotel were The Rolling Stones, Long John Baldry's Hoochie Coochie Men (including Rod Stewart), John Mayall's Bluesbreakers (featuring Eric Clapton), Pink Floyd, David Bowie, The Tridents (featuring Jeff Beck), The Who, The Yardbirds, The Downliners Sect, ...

All Your Love --- John Mayall's Bluesbreakers
IMPRESCINDIBLE CON MUSICA Y SOBRE FONDO NEGRO!!!!!!
BETTER WHIT MUSIC AND BLACK BACKGROUND
For 122 Pictures in 2022 #45 "Illustrate the name of a band". In this case the band is "Cream, illustrated by a pitcher of cream, of course. For those to young (or too old) to remember, Cream was considered the first supergroup, that is a band comprised of musicians already well known for previous work. They were together from 1966 to 1968. It was a trio of Eric Clapton on guitar, Jack Bruce (primary songwriter and vocalist) on bass, and Ginger Baker on Drums.Clapton and Bruce came from John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers (among others), and Baker came from Blues Incorporated and the Graham Bond Organisation (along with Bruce). Clapton also performed with the Yardbirds.

Great Sound.
Just heard he died a couple of days ago after a long and influential life in the Blues. Introduced us Brits to music from Black Americans who had little recognition in their own country. And kicked off the careers of so many British musicians now too famous to need a mention. This was taken at a gig in 2011 when he was only about 78. If they hadn't stopped him, he'd have gone on all night

On this, the day of Eat Your Beans, it's hats off to all sorts of beanery.
There's the tins of Heinz beans; the coffee beans (albeit ground up and dissolved) in my cup; the classic "Beano album" by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers, so called because Eric Clapton is reading a Beano comic in the album cover photo; and the The Who Sell Out album from 1967 in which lead singer Roger Daltrey is literally covered in Heinz beans.
And of course, photobombing in the corner is British comedian Rowan Atkinson as the ever awkward Mr. Bean.
I grew up eating beans on toast for our main supper at least once, sometimes twice, a week. Beans were cheap then as was bread. Sometimes we even had scrambled eggs or pork chops with them as well. And it was all accompanied by huge amounts of tea.
The Bluesbreakers Beano album is a classic 1966 album featuring John Mayall on keyboards and vocals, Eric Clapton on guitar, John McVie on bass (later he was the Mac in Fleetwood Mac) and Hughie Flint on drums who went on to form McGuinness Flint a few years later.
The Who Sell Out was a mediocre album by Who standards. It was highlighted by two great songs however, I Can See for Miles and John Entwistle's quirky Boris the Spider.
Mr. Bean has been a huge success around the world largely because of the limited dialogue thus making it universal in appeal. One finds that people either love or hate Bean. I am ambivalent as I much prefer his witty and excellent Blackadder series.
We're Here salutes Eat Your Beans day.

Ningún sol estival logrará nunca
disipar la total oscuridad
vertida en los periódicos,
que vomitan en una mala prosa
los sucesos inmundos y violentos
que la estupidez nos impide prevenir.
Nuestra tierra es un lugar triste,
pero por esta tregua especial,
tan sosegada y sin embargo tan festiva,
Gracias, Gracias, Gracias, Niebla.
W. H. Auden, Gracias Niebla
No summer sun will ever
dismantle the global gloom
cast by the Daily Papers,
vomiting in slip-shod prose
the facts of filth and violence
that we’re too dumb to prevent:
our earth’s a sorry spot, but
for this special interim,
so restful yet so festive,
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Fog
W. H. Auden, “Thank you, Fog”

Jimi Hendrix
Guitarist
James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix was an American rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Although his mainstream career spanned only four years, he is widely regarded as one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music, and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as "arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music".
John Mayall
Singer
John Mayall, OBE is an English blues singer, guitarist, organist and songwriter, whose musical career spans over fifty years. In the 1960s, he was the founder of John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, a band which has counted among its members some of the most famous blues and blues rock musicians. They include Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Jack Bruce, John McVie, Mick Fleetwood, Mick Taylor, Don "Sugarcane" Harris, Harvey Mandel, Larry Taylor, Aynsley Dunbar, Hughie Flint, Jon Hiseman, Dick Heckstall-Smith, Andy Fraser, Johnny Almond, Walter Trout, Coco Montoya and Buddy Whittington.

The Mists of Time · John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Sometimes a dream will haunt me
And I see a young girl's face
Was she once for real
And did she really share my space
Within the swirling mists of time
It's hard to keep track of year and place
The history of Marshall Amplifiers has become a source of great fascination and interest over three decades. In 30 years of manufacturing we have made a vast number of different models using many materials and techniques. People like Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend of the Who, Tony Iommi, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore are just a few of the many Marshall Amps users.
Documentation from those Marshall amps early years is virtually non-existent. The pressure to build amplifiers was so great that detailed record keeping was impossible. This pressure also created anomalies in the products themselves as component and minor cosmetic changes could be phased in at any time where supplies ran out but production had to continue. The following information is a rough guide to the major changes in the most popular Marshall models since 1962.
Jim Marshall made his first amp back in 62 in order for the bass guitarists to be as loud as the drummer. This was mainly for Rock music and musicians as the drummers simply played louder than that of say a jazz drummer. In fact Jim was a drummer and I'm sure he wanted to be able to hear what they were playing. He had a music store in England and sold Fender amps. His favorite was the 59' Bassman (which is actually a great sounding guitar amp). The problem as Jim found it was these amps where too expensive.
He decided to make them as inexpensive as possible by limiting the 'features'. This ended up being an amp with a single speaker impedance, and very similar controls as found on the Bassman. The JTM45 was the first Marshall amp. It had 25 watts of power and a different sound than that of the Fender Bassman mainly because different output tubes where used, the KT66. It had a softer sound than that of the Bassman. Later the KT66 was replaced with the EL34 which further changed the sound of Marshalls. By adopting the EL34 meant different output transformers where used.
In the beginning Marshall Amps a number of amps where designed, each to be used for a different purpose: PA (Public Address), Organ, Bass and Guitar. The JTM 45 was often used with two column type speaker cabinets for PA systems. Later when the 100 watt Marshalls where developed, many variations of the amp were used for particular purposes. The PA versions had an extra 12AX7 to allow for extra input channels. They also added two more output tubes (EL34) and larger output transformers. The early Marshall amps didn't yet have a Master Volume control. For the bass amps usually the only difference was an added capacitor placed on one of the inputs that would filter out some of the high frequencies. It was the Bluesbreaker amp or Model 1962 combo amp which really put Marshall on the map. This amp was used by Eric Clapton in the legendary John Mayall Bluesbreakers.
The master volume actually came into being around 1975. With a master volume control you could overdrive the preamp tubes to get a more distorted sound without blowing down the walls. The sound wasn't like Eddie Van Halen but more of a bluesy fuzz sound. The only way to get a great distorted guitar tone was to turn up the amp to overdrive the output tubes and speakers. Celestion Speakers where used in most of these amps. They would of course vary depending upon the type of application. The Guitar amps use them in a number of different configurations, ie. 2 x 12" open backed cabinet to 8 x 12" speakers in a closed back cabinet.
A mixed media portrait of Eric Clapton of Yardbirds, Cream and personal fame.
'Eric Patrick Clapton, CBE (born 30 March 1945), nicknamed Slowhand, is a Grammy Award-winning English rock guitarist, singer, songwriter and composer. He is one of the most successful musicians of the 20th and 21st centuries, garnering an unprecedented three inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (The Yardbirds, Cream, and solo). Often viewed by critics and fans alike as one of the greatest guitarists of all time, Clapton was ranked fourth in Rolling Stone Magazine’s list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" and #53 on their list of the The Immortals: 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
Although Clapton's musical style has varied throughout his career, it has always remained rooted in the blues. Clapton is credited as an innovator in several phases of his career, which have included blues-rock (with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers and The Yardbirds) and psychedelic rock (with Cream). Clapton has also achieved great chart success in genres ranging from Delta blues (Me and Mr. Johnson) to pop ("Change the World") and reggae (Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff"). Clapton also achieved fame with Derek and the Dominos through the hit song "Layla".' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Clapton

John Mayall's Bluesbreakers (feat. Peter Green) ~ ''Double Trouble''&''So Many Roads'' Live 1967
It's a very odd time at the moment. Here I am back in 2013 wishing I could really do the cosplay thing, but giving it the best I could ... and what is playing while I write this is ... of course, Peter Green with JM's Bluesbreakers (So Many Roads ... yes, dear reader I bought the CD which featured in an earlier picture) bringing back memories form the late 60's , yet only the other day when I had been to St Thomas' in Winchelsea, I was deep into Robert Fripp's 'At the End of Time - Churchscapes in England and Estonia'. I'm not sure where my head is at the moment, but it seems to be a good place - a place of good memories. But maybe no one is interested, Oh, Well!

Looking Back is the seventh album released by John Mayall in August 1969 by Decca Records. The album features songs by both John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and John Mayall solo work. The album reached No. 79 on the Billboard 200.[2] Confusingly, there are two different albums with the title "Looking Back": a Decca UK release as a single album (SKL 5010)[1] and a Decca Germany (issued by TELDEC) release as a double album (DS 3104/1-2).[3] Later issues on CD would use the Deram label.
