Hello pals! Wow! Pals I can't believe it 100 chains - nearly 2 years of fun and great moosic! Last week we did av specshul chainy to pay our deepest respects to our dearest pal Marley.
Marley won the chain week 99 which I like to fink is a wonderful piece of karma. So, this week, we arksed @ClaptonTerrier to be the judge on behalf of Marley. He was very appy to an I really ope Clapton does join in da fun wiv us.
Da Little Feat song “Willin’” seem especially appropriate. As Marley told us it about “keeping on wiv life no matter wot be frown at you” an’ Marley always did dat fur sure. Little Feat’s singer, Lowell George, did write dis song and he himself did die ob a heart attack at age 34. Da song was included on Linda Ronstadt’s album “Heart Like a Wheel”. So me pick dis week is annuvver Linda Ronstadt cover, dis one ob a Neil Young song “Love Is a Rose”.

The track “Willin” by Little Feat was given to us by our much missed music maestro Marley. l learn their name came about cos one of the band had little feet. So to be different I wondered who had big feet and thought of Big Foot aka the Yeti aka The Abominable Snowman. After Christmas time we will be seeing the film “The Snowman and the Snowdog” but cos it’s not on yet we doesn’t what the music will be so I takes the song from the first film “Walking in the air” .
This be the original version with Peter Auty. Also it does be a sad film cos the snowman died as did the winner of our last linky @marleyterrier.

This week we had some finking to do, trying to come up wiv a linky worthy of the pawsome Little Feat and Willin'. The did record with and inspire many famous musicians. One of them was Emmylou Harris, who was a backing singer on one of their albums and also played in a benefit concert for the family of the lead singer, Lowell George. Emmylou herself was 'discovered' by Gram Parsons, and recorded lots of songs wiv him. I am choosing the song In My Hour of Darkness which she co-wrote with Gram cos their voices did sound lovely togeva. There isn't much video of Gram, so this is just the song.

Here goes with the chain, two weeks ago we lost our dear friend Marley who chose Willin by Little Feat. And he won! Which made all the more poignant. My entry is Bob Marley (it had to be) singing Three Little Birds. Good luck everyone.

Okay I needs a linky to follow on from “Willin” by Little Feat. I notes that dis band released an album dis year called Rooster Rag. So for my linky I chose “Little Red Rooster” by the Rolling Stones.

Our Marley did win the chainy last time so I try to follow this. His linky was by the band Little Feat, so in keeping with the anatomical theme (s'not my fault if dey can't spell ;-) I have chosen 'Jake the Peg' by Rolf Harris. Dis song make me giggle......two legs, three legs? How odd!

@wonderwinger
Big welcome & hugs to @claptonterrier on his 1st judging assignment. Good luck!
My link is Captain Beaky by Captain Beaky and his Band (Not Forgetting Hissing Sid!!!!)
Someone's gone bonkers I hear you cry... Well maybe but it's Christmas.
Little Feat was formed by Lovell George with various members of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention. One of them Estrada later left Little Feat to join Captain Beefheart. Hence the "Captain" theme. Also, for a long while during the seventies I did believe that Captain Beefheart & Beaky were one and the same.
An here's how Clapton telled me who won:
We had a song about roses which tickled our toeses
And one about birds which we've so often heard
We watched them this morning eating their seeds
Marley was keen on animals needs
The next one by Slash really went with a bash
And we all the love the Stones to the tips of our bones
Lola likes antlers to chew chew in the garden
She eats them up quick then…*burp*…beg your pardon
We waked in the air for several hours
And floated along while Gram sang with power
Marley liked napping and he would approve
Of any good song that was low in the groove
You've finished it up with Rolf and young Jake
And a song from a film a good Sunday makes
And on Sunday each week, like any good loafer
Marley was found to be glued to the sofa
Thank you my friends for your wonderful choices
If they were cars they would all be Rolls Royces
But we must choose a winner for our friends and relations
And so we don't need to call for the United Nations
We remember that Marley was a terrible old ham….
….and plump in the end for Emmy and Gram.
In uvva words, da winner dis week .... as chosen by @claptonterrier ... dus be ..... @borderpup wiv In My Hour of Darkness. Yay! Well done ma pal.
