A recent posting on WW's Facebook page talks about the song 'Ain't living long like this' and refers to a British Band called 'The Hamsters' They have now retired but their albums are available and are recommended. I first came across them at the Kent Custom Motorcycle show in the '80's' and over the next 20+ years they were one of the hardest working and consistent bands around. This link shows them playing at Fairport Conventions festival and shows them in good form. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quVDEwQd4XY (I hope it works outside the UK) On several occassions I requested this song and they would always do it. I heard the Hamsters version before I heard Webbs and enjoy them both. Known as That lil ol' and from Essex, they would deliver faultless covers of Hendrix and ZZ Top material as well as other Tasteful tunes. Originals and Covers.
I dont know if they are known in the states. If not 'Pick up on it'! if they are known to this audience I wont be surprised!

Sorry, That should be 'The Lil ol' Band from Essex' http://www.thehamsters.co.uk/main.php

It is funny you should mention this song. Yesterday I emailed Webb that he is mentioned in a Stephen King book called Lisey's Story in a reference to this very song: "Ain't living long like this".

Don't know the Hamsters, although I'm familiar with the Groundhogs...

Hello Chaps.
The Groundhogs! Fantastic Band. Tony (T.S) Mcphee is still playing occasionaly. Tony also played backing J L Hooker (hence the groundhogs) and Billy Boy Arnold's "Checkin it out" My personal favourite electric blues album. (and the one that has been most stolen from me at parties!)

It is a little known fact that Tony (T.S.) McPhee once had the honour of standing in front of me in a queue at a fish and chip van at a festival in the early '70's.

Tony McPhee had a Zemaitis guitar before Ron Wood did. Jus' sayin'...WW
