Father’s Day meets The Old Grey Whistle Test
With it being Father’s Day here in the UK on Sunday I set of this evening bleary eyed to Braehead to do a bit of relevant shopping.
It was only when I set foot in HMV that the concept of time passing hit me straight between the eyes.
It seems like only yesterday I was buying my Dad albums such as “100 Great Church Organ Tunes” or later Shirley Bassey “The Stripper” yet there in front on me on the HMV Father’s Day special display was “Dad’s Rock” 3CD set, “The Old Grey Whistle Test 40th Special Edition” and “New Wave For Dad”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In shock I settled for a book token from Waterstones and returned home and to cheer my self up I downloaded the aforesaid Old Grey Whistle Test CD, 60 tracks for under £10 many of them exclusive live recordings from the show.
So here is an Old Grey Whistle Test special.
From the album and for all cool Dad’s everywhere here is some live music from Tom Waits.
“Small Change” (Live In The Studio) – Tom Waits

As a bonus and in celebration of Whispering Bob Harris’s recent OBE award here are some clips from the vaults.
…………….finally perhaps the most famous clip of all.
Coming soon the Old Grey Whistle Test through the ages.
