Smokey 1330 hr (Friday 7th February 2020)

I could have taken this picture pretty much any day since Thursday. I had a lot to do in the study after my day in London, and the weather didn't exacly entice me outdoors, and Smokey felt likewise, spending most of the days since on the windowsill by my desk. This was actually taken on Friday.

Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Chicken Shack - When the Train Comes Back (recorded 7 February 1968, CBS Studios, London)
Written by Christine Perfect (later Christine McVie), who was Chicken Shack's keyboards player and occasional lead vocalist. Stan Webb was the band's leader and lead guitarist and took most of the vocals, but their best tracks were the ones featuring Christine's vocals, of which this was one. I was fortunate enough to see the band at blues clubs in the Birmingham area several times at around this time. She later joined Fleetwood Mac, of course, and the rest is history. This was recorded on this day in 1968, and appears on the album 40 Blue Fingers, Freshly Packed And Ready To Serve. An alternative version was also a single.
