Thank you for playing my selection, sorry I wasn't there to hear it live - the local time zone was for a 4am Monday start! I did enjoy many of the other selections, good video!

I can't believe I missed this one, but thanks for playing my Wizzard tune! I've been hardcore on Roy Wood and everything related to The Move and ELO since living in England 1972-73. And yes, Roy produced (and played most of the instruments on, and did the cover painting for) Annie Haslam's first solo album "Annie in Wonderland". Roy & Annie were a couple for several years in the 70s. I fully intended to be present for this DoD, but had been sick for a few days and with the time change got all mixed up on the timing -- argh!! I have really enjoyed listening to all of these songs today. What a delightfully eclectic bunch o' tunes!

This is so exciting for me - the first album I ever bought was Wizzard Brew, and Wear a Fast Gun was one of my secret treasure tracks through the years. I felt like I was one of the few who bought the album, one of the very few who loved Wear a Fast Gun, and maybe the only one on the planet who remembered it and loved it. So Hi and Thanks to Mark Moreman, clearly a kindred spirit 🙂. Roy Wood played many of the instruments on this track - he was able to pick up an instrument very quickly. It may be that Doug remembers the name of Roy Wood (and Wizzard) from the Christmas pop song "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day", which was the only Wizzard song that lasted through the years (maybe that's only in UK culture though). Roy Wood was (as far as I am concerned) the creative spirit behind The Move and behind ELO. He was only on the first ELO album, but ELO was his vision, and that album reflects him and is a unique classic. Roy Wood's solo album, Boulders, from the same time, gives us more of his idiosyncratic style. He went to ground, but he's still around, and I'm still a Roy Wood fan! Some wonderful discoveries for me in this DOD, so thanks to all too.

Hi Adie! Wizzard's Brew was one of my first two albums, along with Bursting at the Seams by Strawbs (Part of the Union!) I'm so happy that someone else who remembers Wear A Fast Gun got to hear this Doug on Demand! I still love all of Roy's music.

Hi Mark. I like the Strawbs too, although I'm not as familiar with their catelogue as I could be 🙂. It's great to find another admirer of the great Roy Wood, and your suggestion for DOD made me very happy. What next, See My Baby Jive? Wonderfully over arranged just the way I like it! I always loved Jumping Biz, Roy's answer to Classical Gas.
