    2. Hi Guy! We’re going to be discussing “Solid Gold” in an upcoming episode. We’ll be discussing all the back stories about the song. Stay tuned! 🙂

    3. Hi Guy,
      We’ll be talking about it in two (I think) episodes. It might take me that long to “gird the loins” to listen to my screeching!

  2. Good show.
    Alice, I was waiting for a reaction to that cheezophone. Did not disappoint! Haha. I never noticed Jean’s little flub note, either. And I’ve listened to Charity Ball a lot! I think it’s because the other instruments just came in. Listener’s attention moves from the bass right at that moment.
    Looking forward to the next podcast.
    BTW, I still think Charity Ball is a perfect album. I listen to the whole thing frequently.
    Cheers

    1. Hi Eric! So glad you’re enjoying the podcast! And I agree with you that “Charity Ball” is a perfect album. Cheers! Kristen

    2. Hi Eric,
      It was easy to miss Jean’s flub, but because I was SO atttuned with her back there in the rhythm section, I’ve always heard it. There’s a flub on the BC footage as well. They just reach and grab my ear, probably because she so rarely made a flub. A drummer couldn’t have asked for a better bass player in a band. I was the lucky one for four albums, and am grateful for all of those times.
      I agree, Charity Ball is pretty close to perfect…..but then, I think….well, Fanny Hill……and then….Mother’s Pride…… The big surprise for me from these podcasts sessions has been how much more I appreciate the first album than I ever have. That’s been sweet!
      Best,
      Alice

  3. Great episode, gang! Thanks!

    I was reminded that way back in Episode 1 I asked Alice what uncharted waters of drumming remain to be conquered. And I was very pleased in to discover in this episode the revelation of an ENTIRELY NEW drum rudiment, one that even George Stone failed to pick up on in his damn book. I’m talking of course of Alice’s hilarious story of twirling pasties and her invention of the para-tit-le! The para-tit-le is similar to the familiar paradiddle but played with slightly different sticking: R-L-Nipple-Nipple, L-R-Nipple-Nipple! I hope to add para-tit-les to my practice routine immediately (despite not being exactly “equipped” to play them).

    May the Groove be with you!

    1. Jim,
      I am wetting my pants, and have to finish this response after I change.
      I’ll be right back.
      You kill me!
      Alice

    2. Okay, pants are dry! I LOVE the new rudiment for drummers everywhere and highly recommend it! In fact, I plan (with you permission) to share it with our podcast fans on the next episode. How can I not shine a light on your excellence? It’s too perfect!
      Love,
      Alice

      1. I’d be honored!

        In fact just last night I tried to do a double breast stroke roll and nearly gave myself a concussion!

        *insert rimshot*

        1. Jim – you continue to amaze me with your comments and insights! You also had me rolling on the floor laughing at this one! Alice and I now refer to “cut and paste” as “cut and pastie.” 😉

          1. Heck, my comments are just a dollop of silliness on top of the sundae of this podcast! The Groove works in mysterious ways!

  4. Teal and white Cadillac, yum! Whitewalls, of course. My first car was a saffron Triumph Herald 13/60 convertible, with fins but not as big and sharp as those on a ’58 Caddy. The nearest any British car got to those was the Ford Anglia, which makes a passable mini-Batmobile if you replace the sensible roof with a pair of bubble canopies! Lincoln Futura styling, methinks. No Caddy boobs, though. Hmmm, so much for my attempt to change the drift of the conversation… 🙂

    I think I’ve managed to stop laughing at the podcast – until the next time I listen! Between the Fanny crew and Jim’s rude-iments, this is some of the best entertainment online at the moment. Keep it up, folks. (Thinks – this is beginning to sound like a Carry On film. Ooh Matron!)

      1. Thank you, Jim. Could have been rude-immense, but then there’s no noun.
        Btw, a pasty, pronounced “passty” is a traditional miner’s meal, a semicircular folded meat and vegetable pie to be eaten with dirty hands, the ends then thrown away. I’m just imagining you and Alice playing drums with meat pies stuck to your chests! Surreal or what?
        Pasties (the edible variety) originated in Cornwall and were exported to the States and elsewhere by Cornish emigrants. The Welsh equivalent is an oggie.

        Dave.

        1. Very instructive! Thanks, Dave! There’s also Paiste Cymbals if you have to have something stuck to your chest!

          And I’ve heard of edible pasties but this is ridiculous!

          *rimshot*

  5. Better btw not to bother with the Attila sketch itself; it’s awful, and offensive even in 1970.
