Those Autumn Years

All the leaves are brown, 
And the sky is grey,
sang the Mamas and the Papas back in 1965 when we two were in our late teens.
We were more interested in Leadbelly, James Brown's I Feel Good, Wilson Picketts' In the Midnight Hour, and, speaking for myself, The Miracles with The Tracks of My Tears. 
Ah, never mind: there's music in the old dogs yet.

Flavours of Herefordshire

The rain and wind failed to dampen spirits as Karlin and I ran through our set (several times) on Saturday to a city rammed with people. Congratulations to Flavours of Herefordshire for bringing the whole thing together. Cant believe its exactly a year since Karlin and I first played in public. Time to pack and get the kit down to Church Street for our second set of the weekend.
