Yep, Merimbula, New South Wales, Australia, and the bride wanted it too. She was Scottish though.

The bus strike has been postponed, so it won’t now affect the festival.

Every year, we go along the royal mile area and watch the street performances. They’re always fantastic, and of course, they’re free, but […]

Well, you won’t catch a bus, because they are supposed to go on strike from Friday.

Check out the song on the ‘country’ thread, that I chose from a few days ago. It’s Loudon Wainwright III and John Hiatt doing a Marty Robbins song from that album.

Yer 3 Il Divos and 2 Ronans make a full house shirley?

The humidity meter in my music room said 67 yesterday. The instructions that came with it says +/- 10%. It was 24 degrees yesterday (sunny/cloudy) with thunderstorms in the evening.

Congratulations to your mother.

Her actions in the video somehow remind me of the little lady who played Clint Eastwood’s mum in the orang outang movies…..in a good way obviously.

3 chords and the truth is all you need, said some wise person.

Here’s my current earworm. A Marty Robbins classic, “At The End of A Long Lonely Day”, performed live by Loudon Wainwright III, with John Hiatt on harmony vocal and lead guitar.

I was there today. Superb exhibition! I had a lump in my throat often just looking at the personal family shots. Lots of 60s icons too(none of Dylan though). At the exit, you go through the shop(obviously) and […]

The band are featured in one of the ‘bullshit’ moments in the new Dylan movie. Doing ‘Venus’ IIRC. Perhaps that’s the reason?

Go on the city sightseeing tour bus. Hop on, hop off. It stops outside Kelvingrove Museum.

Turn off the news, build a garden.

Neil Young owns a Martin D28 acoustic that belonged to Hank Williams. He plays it regularly.

Rab Noakes is a cancer survivor. He tells of his troubles on stage, then usually quips “at least I got a couple of songs out of it”.

I know you’re an author Colin and check things properly, but is it not Shreveport?

Famous for Leadbelly and Louis Armstrong.

Tom Waits has a song called Fannin Street, and though he says it’s in Houston, […]
