Oh, now here’s a beautiful Bowie cover! Time, from Bowie Songs One, with Linda Hergarten’s vocals and Clifford Slapper on piano. Enjoy.

How fantastic and refreshing to hear all those voices plus that Garson-esque theatrical piano. Makes you fall in love with the songs all over again. “Always Crashing in the Same Car”, a particular favourite in a great new version sung by Ray Burmiston.

Musician Clifford Slapper was also at her party yesterday. He, too, has written a book, published today. It is a biography – Bowie’s Piano Man: The Life of Mike Garson.

Fubar Radio today – Paul Gannon raising Comic Relief money

This blog is being posted very late today because, basically, I slept all morning. Pure laziness.

I was not there for 27 hours. The live…
