Hi Guy – appreciate your comments on my edits to The Guess Who. I wonder, though, what to call the current band other than a cover band, as the musicians have no connection to the original The Guess Who, other than having been hired by an original member to perform The Guess Who music, often without any original members participating. Thoughts? PSPazW (talk) 21:23, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The term "cover band" seems inappropriate and unnecessarily demeaning. Just use the word "band", or something like "the Kale/Peterson band". No need to take sides - WP:NEUTRAL. Ghmyrtle (talk) 21:48, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If I can make an observation, Hayman's "Cohen on the Telephone" was not the first record to sell a million copies. That was Enrico Caruso's "Vesti la giubba", first released in 1903.<ref name="The Book of Golden Discs">((cite book | first= Joseph | last= Murrells | year= 1978 | title= The Book of Golden Discs | edition= 2nd | publisher= Barrie and Jenkins Ltd | location= London | page= 9 | isbn= 0-214-20512-6 | url-access= registration | url= https://archive.org/details/bookofgoldendisc00murr/page/9))</ref> Hayman's 1914 recording did sell a million copies and was the first 'million selling comedy dialogue disc', selling over two million copies in the U.S. alone. (Same source as above, but on page 10 on the book). Hayman's was seemingly the sixth million selling disc. Pedantic, but what else can a man with a book do !? – Derek R Bullamore (talk) 22:49, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK - my (less than perfect) sources say something different, but I'll happily tweak the text! Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:52, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

By way of explanation, I have had my Murrells' open a bit recently, largely to help polish up various Wiki articles on million selling recordings by Hank Ballard. I should also perhaps inform you that Caruso's epic title translates as "On With the Motley". What is has to do with Dick Dastardly's accomplice is not clear. I probably could have worded 'had my Murrells' open a bit recently' better too, but I am getting old. - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 23:04, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

now has a second mention, Welsh National and Universal Mining Disaster Memorial Garden. 521 tiles must have taken a while! KJP1 (talk) 10:13, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
