Home Paddock reminds us that it is the great Hank Marvin’s 68th birthday. (His real name is – whisper it – Brian Rankin.)
She chooses to show him performing “Apache”. Hah. In August I chose to showcase him playing on Sir Cliff’s great 1969 single, “Throw Down a Line”. It’s as close as Cliff ever got to Donovan with Jeff Beck.
But wait, there’s more: the great “Devil Woman” from 1976. Cliff sings, “She’s gonna get you from behind.” Sadly there is no vid of Cliff and Hank performing this that I can find, so this Cliff-only version will have to do, though that is definitely Hank/Brian on guitar:

Gawd, if I'd known Cliff was this good I wouldn't have bothered with all the hairy 60'/70's dorks. That Throw Down a Line's a killer. So's this. I'm off to Real Groovy
