Paolo's Circus Story Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I have heard it, and I still can't quite believe it. Cheers(?) to @PointBlankSpain on the Twitter for the heads up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eileen Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 How old is that? Does that say it's 33 years since it was first played? Those were the days, eh? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Chaos Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I quite like it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eileen Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I probably liked it back in the day. I liked all his stuff back in the day. Then Nebraska assaulted my ears. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Chaos Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Didn’t he do a similar version of BITUSA with them too?? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silvia Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Beach Time Music Reggae to Bruce worked perfectly, I'm not sure about the other way around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lampi Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Yes my first thought was One Love was the name of the band; reason I was confused and not sure. From the Glory Days of tape trading. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Never heard this! Yes, I was hoping folk would find it in the article. I can remember hearing them - I doubt we missed much back then. Thank you, friends! x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Promise61 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Great versions. There's enough reggae/ska stuff by Bruce to fill a whole CD. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Isn't there some of that on Born In The Studio? I used to play that to death ... seem to remember that kind of thing? Mebbies I'm dreaming. Again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But, like you, I'm just going from memory and not 100 per cent sure. I'd have to go through the titles. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jump back Jack Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I've got a mate who when I first met him and we got talking about music and I of course mentioned Bruce he replied that he'd seen him in a bar singing a Reggae version of BIUSA back in 1987 and that he was pretty good. He was in the Green Parrot bar in Neptune NJ with a gang of mates all drunk and he did say that Bruce's minder wouldn't let them near him at the end of the night and that Bruce was pretty hammered too. Bruce must have done ok as my mate isn't a fan but he was complimentary about him that night. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
