what good am I.


The Gentle Author is reading a racy new book called "The Best Of Sepia Saturday" why dont you buy it and feel the pulse!You can purchase it here . Then you can meet 46 Gentle Authors! It's published,printed & written by Alan Burnett . He asked if he could take one of my posts (I still have to pay for my copy!)
I have not been around much of late.This should be my final post of the year,so I will be around visiting all my neglected friends over the next week.
May i wish you all a very Happy Christmas . I hope 2014 is sepiatastic for us all.
This is a sepia saturday post.
The audio is the actual live recording of Bob Dylan at the Winter Gardens Blackpool on November 22nd this year. Me Cathy Margaret & Don where in the audience......
.................What good am I then to others and me
If I’ve had every chance and yet still fail to see
If my hands are tied must I not wonder within
Who tied them and why and where must I have been.....................?

click here to hear this extremely rare,very good quality(from the soundboard),highly illegal  bootleg recording of the performance we saw  :

I'm having something of a gallop through my year in photos.To say I've not been abroad, or had any sort of extended holiday,it's been an interesting year!


[to see all my photos you can view my image website  {here} .]

As this is some sort of a review of 2013,here are 2 videos I took at Hebden Bridge Trades Club this year at my 61st Birthday Gig........the music was provided by British Sea Power a band i have supported here for many years.In my opinion,the best British band of the past ten years.....(I really care little what the accountants & beancounters might say.....)
.

I am attending this in January.should be fun.

Wishing you Happy Holidays!

Great post with the only slide show I've yet to see on Sepia Saturday! Looks like Social Media! I think that's a good thing. Maybe. I still don't like having to do word verification to post comments...but this is an exception!

Hi B Rogers above - I also loathe WV, but it must now be part of how we live, as when I was reading court lists today, a female Australian defendant was 'Nyleakyah' and I thought "oh that's a WV name".

Tony - I hope you are warm and your Christmas is perfect.

You're making me think about my year in review - it was a good year personally but family events took away from my blog. Onward to 2014! Merry Christmas Tony!

You're a true patron of the arts, Tony! I'm envious that you got such good seats for Dylan, (and the polar bear too.)

Best wishes for a sepiatastic new year!

Well you certainly have had a most interesting year. thanks for showing us. I was interested to see Maxine Peake there. I like her work.

Really enjoyed your year in review and the Dylan...takes me back to times of the past....I am having trouble keeping with Sepia this holiday time too, but enjoying some catch up today..Reminds me of Kenny G's Auld Lang Syne from his Holiday Faith album....you have mastered the addition of vocals....

Happy Christmas to you and yours.

Great idea for your review.

A review of the year is a great idea and your birthday bash looks like it was great fun.
Merry Christmas

Thanks for the Christmas presents---
Bob Dylan and your year in review.
Have a great new Sepia year.
Barbara and Nancy

P.S. We saw Dylan here a couple of years ago. We didn't think to make a bootleg recording, tho.
He was with Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp, if you can believe it.
Also T.Bone Burnett.

That's a wonderful sepia picture of you; almost had me fooled Tony (and great subject matter too). Have a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year.
