@chad everyone needs a Telecaster in their life...
Here's mine...lake placid blue American special. Bought it because I think Mick Ronson's last guitar was a lake placid blue Tele.
I learned a huge amount listening to Mick in early 70s.
It's everything you'd expect a Tele to be.
Remembering Mick Ronson who was born today 26th May 1946, Today would have been his 79th birthday
"I've always thought that the act of playing the guitar was the act of trying to make a point of playing the guitar."

Jukebox Friday Night's theme for 9 May 2025 is "My Land": songs or music about or for our countries or home lands or heritage.
My grandfather was from Sheffield; the family tree is 400 years of villagers from Cawood, Riccall, and Brightside Bierlow (all in Yorkshire, England) marrying each other.
So …
Mick Ronson, "Ballad of Jack Daniels" (1981, released 2001)
Without Michael Ronson (26 May 1946 – 29 April 1993) there would be no Bowie.

Vision is one thread in the theme of "Sound and Vision" on Jukebox Friday Night, and a second song from the same performer (yay!) –

It's a beautiful song …
More colours for the theme of "Sound and Vision" on Jukebox Friday Night, and I'll follow this with another vision-themed song from the same performer (yay!) –
Mick Ronson, "Colour Me" (1994)
"Colour me, colour me, colour me
You make it better when you colour me …"
Love Mick's singing voice as much as his guitar playing!

Another David Bowie song …

Never saw a scene on the street before
Never got chose with the rest of the boys
So I must have needed something more …"
Mick Ronson, "Growing Up and I'm Fine" (1974)

Sticking with "Hey Grandma", but this is the song written by Skip Spence for Moby Grape, but the version I know and like is –
Mick Ronson, "Hey Grandma" (1976, released 1999)
Okay, the lyrics are meaningless …
"Hey Grandma, you're so young
Your old man's just a boy
It's been a long time this time, pow pow pow …"

Happy #RollingThunder kickoff anniversary!
To celebrate, I spoke with the late, great #MickRonson's longtime partner Suzi about the touches of glam the famous #DavidBowie sideman brought to #BobDylan's band, and her own time on the road with the Revue.

#MickRonson – Slaughter on 10th Avenue (1974). Best known for nimble guitar work behind David Bowie and Ian Hunter, Mick Ronson shows a more eclectic side on his debut solo LP. A competent singer with an emotive edge more cabaret than rock and roll, Ronson brings a dramatic flair to covers of “Love Me Tender” and the Richard Rodgers showtune/ title track. “Only After Dark” is the set’s one knees-up rocker – a forerunner to the new wave Ronson helped inspire.
