Description

Mental Cowboy Dude - with a test card - a true story as retold by sonicmagpie

Anybody who has lived in Wolverhampton will know this gentleman. Dressed as a cowboy and carrying various TV test cards, he would roam the Mander Centre continuously stopping anyone who would listen to him (and many people who would not) to tell them about the test cards.

I believe his favourite was the BBC2 test card.

Thanks to echoroom for inadvertently planting the idea of making a song about test cards in the first place

We dedicate this song to all of you

Vocals - particledots
Vocals - Mystified
Instruments - bibanova

Thank you and God Bless ya.

.. the BBC2 ..

.. card was one of the best though .. you'ld have to be mental to disagree ;o) See http://www.meldrum.co.uk/mhp/testcard/bbc_test.html

.. but which version of test card F?? I just got to know .. must be one with Carole Hersee I presume ..
where is a mental cowboy dude when you need 'im eh?

.. never knew the X on the noughts & crosses board represented the approx. centre of the card. Wow ..

Great music Bryn & Cat .. your expertise in vocal production is unquestionable... very cool source of inspiration... I don't mean Steve .. lol .. although he is cool too.. asch you know what I meant.
