Angry Birds (Opposition) - Angry Birds as a shooter on the ZX Spectrum? Yes really!
How many of you remember that highly addictive game whereby you used to fling birds at collapsible objects to knock pigs out of the way? Well I do and it was the gaming fad for the time ' Angry Birds ', which isn't on anyone's mind right now as it's mostly Pokemon Go. But what if we could take Angry Birds and turn it into a shooter for the ZX Spectrum? Welcome to ' Angry Birds (Opposition) '

We are gonna post a new show every morning for each of the Days Between. Just a little help for those in their cubicles and others who need driving music.
Pretty much everyone is familiar with the Dead's origin story. Bob heard Jerry playing on NYE, who absentmindedly was playing, waiting for students that would never come. The jam that ensued at Dana Morgan's music store was the beginning that led to Mother Mcree's to The Warlocks and then the change of names to The Grateful Dead. The name The Warlocks had already been taken by a little band that later was known as The Velvet Underground.
The show we picked today was one of the best of 1966. The band started in 1965 but setlists and good sounding tapes are sketchy at best. So I decided to pick up the next year that showed the band testing their boundaries and skills but still playing short songs that included old standards, bluegrass, Dylan covers and attempts at new songs.
