My Best Wishes For 2013.(of course)Hey! I just discovered that Hollywood will be murdering Tim Buckley!shortly.......That dastardly Tinseltown Serial-Killer is on the loose again! (think Cash:Dury:Lennon:Ian Curtis ;et al).Before the memory gets blurred+spoiled.(..........&lets face it,music biopics are always fucking terrible..with the honorable exception of the Dylan , I'm Not There )
Anyway,here's the voice of the Real Deal!
If you look to your left on this blog you will see links to tons of splendid blogs.Please give them your patronage when you bore of me.If I had to recommend just one,please take a peek sometime at the ever wonderful Istanbul Through My Eyes.(As a bonus,it's gentle author,Ozgur , is Istabul's greatest Bob Dylan fan!) this blog is posted almost daily:it's a fabulous record of my 2nd favorite -visited city.(before you ask.The city I love the most is Havana..but my heart is big enough for 2!)
Happy New Year Tony. We need to fix up a date (and a pub) for a meeting of the Yorkshire Chapter of the International Fellowship of Thoughtful Bloggers.
love those golden/bronzed faces from the past...and yes, seems a lot of attention has shifted from blogging to facebook, a damned shame, but still it's a good way to keep in touch. Best wishes for 2013, no doubt it will be over sooner than later.
Happy New Year tony!! It was a splendid time spent in your company in 2012 and looking forward to more in 2013, as much as you can spare, here or on Fb. :)~ HUGZ
I don't know how I could have missed this magical post. Love everything about it. Crazy cool Tim Buckley video. It worked very well with your slide show too, in an odd musical way. Love the photo of your dad with mum mention. Liking your soundcloud visits, too. :)

Happy New Year Tony. Enjoyed the slide show but especially your Polish Dad in Scotland.
Your dad really rocks! What a cool photo. Awesome videos again too. I adore your up beat posts- you just have so much fun!
Happy New Year!
I don't know what to think about that last photo.
A merry 2013 to you too, Tony. If you sped it up the slide show would acquire a kind of strobe light effect, with people stopped in motion.
I enjoyed this Tony. Ya may 2013 be a very good one for you.
The slide show worked well and the picture of your Dad and mention of Mom was nice as well.
