I like Heavy Metal but have not looked further than Jimmy Hendrix, Robin Trower and Dire Straits. There are times when you need to be careful in your choice of Music. A friend and I once visited a different local pub which we knew had a reputation for violence. It was early and apart from us there was a crowd of "Rockers" near the bar. We went to the Juke Box to select a few tracks and before we had finished one of the Rockers (the smallest and least scary) asked us what we had selected. We said Elvis, Buddy Holly and Edie Cochran. That's fine "Big Jake" likes those. We spoke to the same guy later as we were clearly accepted and he explained that the Brewery insisted on range of genres no matter what the landlord says. So Big Jake is determined that only Rocker Music is played. He also said the previous week an unsuspecting customer selected Cliff Richard and had to leave the pub in an ambulance. ( I suspect that the latter statement was the message they wanted passed on rather than the the truth). Nevertheless, we left soon after and Big Jake saluted us.
