    KEITH & BETTY MOTT OF CLAYGATE The story of a life time in the sport of Pigeon Racing Introduction I was born in Feltham, near Heathrow Airport in October 1950. I first met my wife, Betty, in late 1969 and this was through my friendship with her brother, Alfie, who raced pigeons and was a keen on ‘The Impalas’, the band I played drums in. Alfie North was a regular visitor to the bands Sunday night gig at the Swam PH in Kingston and with our mutual interest in pigeons and Rock music, we used to talk ‘shop’ during my mid- session break. From time to time he would bring his sister, Betty, to the ‘Swan’ gig and in the end it was mostly her and me talk about her main interest of those days, Speedway racing. I had known this wonderful girl named, Betty North, for a few months in early 1971 and I asked her out for our first date while at the big Gene Vincent gig at the Kingston Coronation Hall, when we were playing on the same bill. I knew she was there that night and I went out in to audience to find her. My life started on that night in 1971 and we got married in May 1972. We had two wonderful kids in Caroline and Mark, and in turn they have given us five brilliant grand children in Sasha, Katie, Ryan, Sophia and Connie. We are now great grandparents, with our Mason being born in August 2018! When we married in 1972 she said that it might only last about two years because of my ‘Rock ‘n Roll’ life style and all that entailed, but here we are 50 years later and still madly in love and still happily married! Then came the pigeons! At that time I thought to myself, well she is from a pigeon racing family, with her late father, Alf North senior, and her brother racing in partnership in the Surbiton FC for many years, so she knew what she was committing to by marring a pigeon fancier.

Scott Fitzgerald in St. Paul, Minnesota on January 4, 1915 there was instant chemistry between them. That night in her diary, Ginevra exclaimed, “Scott perfectly darling am dipped about.” For his part, Scott was equally smitten with Ginevra; although he was due back in Princeton immediately, Scott stayed over an extra day to spend more time with the brunette debutante from Chicago. Upon his return to Princeton, Scott immediately sent Ginevra a special delivery letter; according to the customs of the time, such a letter constituted Scott’s formal declaration that he was interested in pursuing a correspondence with Ginevra. A vivacious and fun- loving girl, Ginevra was no stranger to the importance of a “special delie” and the epistolary game was afoot.

For a superb discussion of the voguish "difficulty" associated with the rise of modernist art, see Leonard Diepeveen, The Difficulties ofModernism (New York: Routledge, 2003),1-42. 5. There is a further irony that might be noted here: putting Joyce and Anderson on the same plane would soon be a good indicator of provin­ cialism. Fitzgerald could not have written this statement after his sojourn in France, and certainly not after encouraging his friend Ernest Hemingway's nasty parody, The Torrents of Spring (1926). Anderson may be one of the most notable casualties from the period of ambitious claimants, such as Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and William Faulkner, to a place within "the cultural world." 6.

"The principle of differentiation is none other than the objective and subjective distance of enterprises of cultural production with respect to the market and to expressed or tacit demand, with producers' strate­ gies distributing themselves between two extremes that are never, in fact, attained-either total and cynical subordination to demand or absolute independence from the market and its exigencies" (ibid., 141-42).

    Blackmore´S Night: Die Weiße Nacht Eines Gereiften Wild Boys

    Blackmore´s Night: Die weiße Nacht eines gereiften Wild Boys Ritchie Blackmore begeistert mit Gattin Candice Night und Band im Admiralspalast von Marc Hairapetian Preisfrage: Wer macht das scheinbar Unmögliche möglich und versammelt beinharte Hard-Rocker, intellektuelle Beatniks, radikale Tierschützer, fröhliche Schlagerfans und Freunde der Renaissance-Musik in einem Konzert, bei dem am Ende sogar alle zusammen singen? Antwort: Ritchie Blackmore, "the one and only". Dieser Zuruf der Ehrenbezeichnung eines völlig enthusiastischen Besuchers platzt in eine stillere Passage des Auftritts im fast ausverkauften Berliner Admiralspalast - und er trifft den berüchtigten Nagel auf den Kopf. Ritchie Blackmore, geboren am 14. September 1945 in Weston-super-Mare (North Somerset), ist wirklich ein Phänomen. Seit Anfang der 1960er gilt der walisisch-englische Lockenkopf als einer der weltbesten Gitarristen. Bereits mit 18 arbeitete er als Studio-Musiker für den legendären Produzenten Joe Meek (1929 - 1967). Für dessen Zögling, den deutschstämmigen Sänger und Ex-The Tornados-Bassisten Heinz Burt (eigentlich Heinz Georg Schwartz, 1942 - 2000), spielte er auf allen Platten (darunter die Filmsongs "Dreams Do Come True" und "Don´t You Understand" sowie Charterfolge wie "You Were There" und die Rockabilly-Nummer "Just like Eddie"). Blackmore tourte mit Heinz and the Wild Boys, setzte bei der Coverversion des Crickets-Songs "I am not a Bad Guy" als einer der ersten eine psychedelisch verzerrte Gibson-ES-335-Gitarre ein und trat mit der Instrumentalband The Outlaws in Beat-Kinofilmen wie "Live It Up" (1963) auf. 1968 wechselte er das Equipment (von nun an benutzte er eine Fender Stratocaster) und gründete die Hard-Rock-Formation Deep Purple, die mit zündenden Gitarrenriffs wie bei "Smoke on the Water" das Headbanging weltweit in Mode brachte.
