Phil Lynott.
A Very Personal Story.
 Phil Lynnott |  Philomena Lynott with statue of Phil |
Well folks where do I start. Bob Tallent, co-publisher of DPNlive threatened me with all sorts of things if I did not write a little bit about a very special man I knew since childhood and from my own music career, the late always great Phil Lynott.
As a friend when living, I only had to ask him for help if something came up for charity or the poor and he was right on it with free gigs etc. Now I can’t say the same for some other of the more famous people in the business that had the nerve to ask for fees. How mean could you be?

The Irish Rocker with the Famous Sunburst Battered Strat.
Rory GallagherThis Irish blues-rock guitarist would be 64 if he was alive today. He was born in Donegal, raised in Cork and died at 47 years of age. As a charismatic live performer in the Irish band Taste, he sold 30 million albums worldwide. Although he didn't tour the U.S. enough, spending most of his time in Europe, he was, however, known for his no-holds-barred, marathon live shows at clubs and theatres around the United States. A comprehensive biography hit the shelves late last year (2012) written by Marcus Connaughton.

He started to work aged 7. And then became The Greatest Jazz Musician in the World!
Louis ArmstrongThis famous black American would be 112 if he was alive today. He was the grandson of a slave and has an airport and a park named after him. Jazz was the major influence in his life and he was born in an area so poor that it was nicknamed “the battlefield”. His father abandoned him just after he was born and his mother earned money as a prostitute. He was imprisoned at 11 years of age for firing a gun in the air. During his time in the Coloured Waif's Home for Boys he got music instruction and developed a love for it. Later on in life he was recognised for his characteristic and unusual voice as well as his mastery on the trumpet.

The Drifter who wore the White Suit.

And So This is Christmas - Part 4
21st December 2012 - 3 more sleeps till Santa comes. I can't wait
Please be patient.
It may take a bit longer to open this week because there are over 70 videos in it.
Christmas SongsThis is the final part of our four part series. Click to see part one, part two and part three.
Below is a list of all Christmas number ones from 1945 to date. That's 68 years. Who was number one the year you were born? Can you even remember them? Have a look at the videos and bring yourself back into time. Do you know who was at number one for the longest time? I was surprised to see it was Whitney Houston. You may remember we wrote her biography and also discussed what she was worth some time ago. Surprise someone you know and give them their song. If some of your family is less than 68 years old, you can show them the video.
