THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN DOES THINGS, AND THEN HE DOES EVEN MORE THINGS

The Gonzo Daily - Sunday

http://www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

 

It is the day after Yule
and so this poetic fool
is at his keyboard again this time
to put the Gonzo blogs in rhyme

 

Now the Gonzo Track of the Day today
is something my dear wife sent yesterday
a Eurovision candidate from Estonia
If it had won I'd have had to phone ya

Now who is next? You'll never guess
It's an interview with Steve Howe (from Yes)
a guitarist I've always admired
and to play like him sometimes aspired

And now a real treat you'll see
Rick Wakeman live at the BBC
on the radio doing festive stuff
of which we'll never have enough

And now a thing you won't expect
a review of Sky Architect
one of my favourite contemporary bands
a bunch of proggers from the Netherlands

And now a visit to my mate Thom
as poets go, man he's da bomb
when you read his words I think you'll find
his poetry is far better than mine

And finally my friends, a brand new scene
#57 of the Gonzo Weekly magazine
once again edited by me
is now online (and its all free)

 

Issue 57 of Gonzo Weekly is out and features interviews with Alan Davey about his new album, Merrell Fankhauser about his recent discovery of a veritable treasure trove of historical material deep in the desert, Miss Crystal Grenade about her launch party, and Joey Molland about Badfinger, his new album, and playing on 'All things Must Pass'. There is news on Auburn's new video and an exclusive still. There is also my totally subjective review of the year, Doug Harr on Black Sabbath and more news, reviews, features and comments than you can shake a stick at. And its free.

*  The Gonzo Daily is a two-way process. If you have any news or want to write for us, please contact me at  jon@eclipse.co.uk. If you are an artist and want to showcase your work or even just say hello, please write to me at gonzo@cfz.org.uk. Please copy, paste and spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible. We need people to read us in order to grow, and as soon as it is viable we shall be invading more traditional magaziney areas. Join in the fun, spread the word, and maybe if we all chant loud enough we CAN stop it raining. See you tomorrow....

*  The Gonzo Daily is - as the name implies - a daily online magazine (mostly) about artists connected to the Gonzo Multimedia group of companies. But it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The same team also do a weekly newsletter called - imaginatively - The Gonzo Weekly. Find out about it at this link: http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html

 

* We should probably mention here that some of our posts are links to things we have found on the internet that we think are of interest. We are not responsible for spelling or factual errors in other people's websites. Honest guv!

*  Jon Downes, the editor of all these ventures (and several others), is an old hippy of 54 who - together with his orange cat (who is currently on sick leave in Staffordshire) and two very small kittens (one of whom is also orange) - puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon, which he shares with various fish. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus... did we mention the orange cat?
