I love the BJM. Love them. I believe I have listened to all their albums yet there is this bit, in the documentary DiG! where they play a tune and I can’t find the song. Don’t know if it’s even a song.

It’s at that bit where they are on the tube/underground. Anton has a cowboy hat on and is blasting the harmonica. A commuter afterwards comments that he listened to the Hurdy Gurdys ( or something, in 63) and that they had it and the BJM also have it.

Does anyone know if what they were playing for that 5 seconds of the movie was a track and what it’s called?

I just love that harmonica.

Well I’ve certainly seen their name bandied about quite a bit recently.

Shit!. I never realised I was doing that. Made the post from my iPod and thought I was hitting the edit button. Now that I’m sober I realise, hey, I don’t even have an edit button, or an iPod. Sorry mods.

It’s not The Ballad of Jim Jones, although they do play that right after the bit I am talking about. Here’s the clip - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X71Vex7-\_3g&feature=youtube\_gdata\_player](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X71Vex7-_3g&feature=youtube_gdata_player)
