Okay, I'll play too...
Robbie Fulks - South Mouth
Robert Cray - Strong Persuader
Nick Lowe - Dig My Mood
Ry Cooder - Get Rhythm
Elvis Costello - Almost Blue
When I worked in a bar/restaurant in NYC in the early 80's I persuaded
the owner to let me put a single in the jukebox. He agreed on the proviso
that it gained enough plays to warrant staying in the jukebox as each week
the bottom 5 got replaced. Of course, I pumped in the quarters to "save" my
single but my heart leapt the first time a customer actually played it! The
single in question was "Life In Reverse" by Belgian band Marine (on Les
Disques Du Crepuscule) - not your usual jukebox fodder but it was fun
hearing it played alongside the Foreigner/Van Halen type of stuff which
filled the jukebox back then...
Cheers, Brian
