Sam Lee’s in here @thecheshirecat I thought you would have seen this earlier.

I got the Billy Connolly book as a Christmas present. I couldn’t get his voice out of my head whilst reading it, which was great. It almost seemed like an audiobook. I didn’t find very much ‘new’ in it. […]

Jeez, I have mentioned that BB King album on here a few times to tumbleweed. Delighted to know at least 2 others have heard it, and I assume, like it.

No. Other side. Grey shirt. Ornamental guitar on the wall.

Not pub rock, but a Guernsey connection. I learned the capital and national anthem from this song –

Each to their own Steve. I like ‘real’ instruments, guitar, piano etc. I don’t like drum machines or dj beats and samples. I know I am a boring old fart….hey ho.
I don’t think the Condi song was a protest […]

No reply button under your comment dai, so I don’t know where this will go.
I don’t even know what ‘skank for me’ means, but I don’t imagine any woman would be endeared by it. She’s a cold hearted woman sending […]

The whole album is about the war in Iraq, and she was the security chief in the Bush government. He doesn’t fancy her.

Train a Comin’ is a fabulous record. Look out though, because even though it came out in what you might call his golden era, most of it was written long before what you might call his golden era. Most of the […]

I like it, and even more so with each listen. Telling stories about people, whether real or imagined, is what he does best. He was given subject matter, and he’s used his imagination to conjour this up. A bit like […]

Slightly off topic, but there was a band called Hedgepig. Were you in it?

I would drink the bottle over 2 nights, simply replacing the cork overnight. Wine can be bought in half, quarter and 50cl bottles too.

Get in your car and come to Scotland. We’re open now. The sun is shining. You don’t even need a reason to come……testing your eyesight is a good enough reason to come.

Is anyone likely to investigate his stories? Surely a check on his phone and his credit cards would reveal all. Google sends me a message every month showing exactly where and when I’ve been.

I like Reunions. I too, can hear Mark Knopfler’s influence in some chord sequences and licks. I don’t like the first track either….too mantra like and lots of unnecessary guitar near the end. I don’t know what […]
