779.0. "Status Quo Question..." by LARVAE::BRIGGS (They use computers don't they?) Mon Dec 17 1990 12:48

    
    Time to clear up  long standing question I have had.
    
    I heard a Status Quo medley this morning of rock-and-roll songs (is
    this their 'Anniversary Waltz?). Who can tell me what the song that
    follows 'Rock and Roll Music' is?
    
    I remember hearing this years ago by Rita Coolidge and Kris
    Kristofferson and always assumed it was an original of theirs. Seeing
    as its on this Status Quo medley presumably it was a big hit of the
    50s. How come I've never heard the original?

    SURELY someone knows the answer to this? I definitely is 'The
    Anniversary Waltz' as I saw it on TOTP last night. I have a vague
    feeling the track is called 'Lover Come Back' or something similar but
    I may be totally wrong.

779.2Beats me chief !!WARNUT::KAYDWORM-mode noterFri Dec 21 1990 15:0710
I heard this (for the first time) on TOTP last night, and dashed into
the lounge (I was building furniture in the dining room). I'm afraid to
say that I've never heard this song before in my life (I'm normally pretty
good at remembering tunes).

Sorry I can't help, but I thought you might like to know that I tried :-)

Xmas cheers,

    Derek.
779.3A Wild Guess!!MASALA::ISUTHERLANDFri Jan 18 1991 16:413
    
    The Vernons Girls had a song called Lover Please (in 1962).Whether it's
    the same one or not I don't know.

    First Prize!!!!
    
    Yes, thats the title. It was an opening track on a Rita Coolidge/Kris
    Kristofferson LP. As said I always thought it was an original of
    theirs. I have always thought this is a great song and so presumably do
    Status Quo. This must be a good example of a classic little number that
    has by and large been forgotten.

    Going down a rathole for a moment...
    
    Does anyone know where Rick Parfitt lives?  I am SURE I saw him on
    Sunday in a blue/grey metallic Porsche 911 with a reg of RP nnnnn,
    just coming off the A3 near Witley, Guildford.

	Re .5

	I believe he lives in Hambledon, so that sounds about right.

	Talking of Quo, anyone hear the story a few years ago about
	Francis Rossi leaving his BMW in Heathrow long-term car park
	& going away for a few days, then coming back to find that it
	had been burgled, and the police while examining it for forensic
	evidence had found a large quantity of "a dubious white powder"
	and were waiting for him at the arrivals gate...

	Jonathan.
779.7What happened to his Ford Anglia ?TRUCKS::LITTENWed Feb 20 1991 18:3626
Julia,

	Yep !! that was most likely Rick Parfitt.

I used to live in Aldershot and played squash out Godalming way once a week.
It was about 20 minutes drive from Guildford and in a small village out in the 
sticks (I can't remember any better details). I used to go for a pint in the 
pub down the road afterwards and this was Rick's local. It had one of Quo's 
gold discs on the wall and he was nearly always there propped up against the 
bar having a quiet pint ( ravishing the odd groupie or three, beating up nuns,
biting the heads off stray dogs, knocking off the landlords wife, knifing the 
locals....Rick even joined in sometimes !!).

From memory coming out of Guildford, go down the main road (not the hogs back)
( A3 ?) toward portsmouth/southampton, past the Squirell pub, get to the 
two sets of traffic lights close together with the Little Chef/Wimpey on the 
right. Take a left at the second set and take the right exit off the next 
roundabout. I seem to remember this goes up hill and down dale for a few 
miles. I eventually took a left turn toward his pub. If these sketchy 
directions mean anything to you....good luck !!

When I first met him I said...." don't tell me,.... you are...???"....and he 
said "well blow me down..it's Dave Litten from Digital, show me a chord to 
go with the three I know !!"  ..........Then I woke up !

Dave 
779.8SHAPES::WILLIAMSJ1Don't blame me.......Wed Feb 20 1991 19:4511
    Dave
    
    Wow - exactly. It was just off the A3 by the Wimpy traffic lights, and
    down by Secretts that posh shop where Penelope Keith and Terry Scott 
    hang out.
    
    Cor, all this name dropping.....

779.9more mind-blowing quo infoHAMPS::SMITH_SThu Feb 21 1991 11:4510
    Well Rick's mum lives at the bottom of my road !!!!
    
    I often see his bright red Jag or Landrover on a sunday blocking the
    pavement.I've not seen him at the local shops but my neighbours say he
    will always say hello and does not act the big rock star.
    
    I hope this information leaves you all stunned !!!!!

    I've got some photos of Status Quo from a magazine. If anyone would
    like photocopies don't hesitate to contact me.

    P.S.  In the photo they're smiling.

      Is there anyone out there, who's got the lyrics of Down Down?
      
      I will appreciate it, if the lyrics will be written in here.
      
      Thanx,
