I seem to have cold (again) but unlike some people, I don't make a song and dance about it. I have refused a helicopter and everytime CNN ring me up, I just 'em to "Piss Off"...........

I told my brother Zyg that I was uploading these:
old,but newly,coloured old family photos.
He gave his blessing."Why should I be bothered? I have nothing to hide" he said.
And they are all still on display on the slideshow in the previous post.https://everton.blogspot.com/2020/08/ive-started-colouring-100s-of-my-family.html

My Grandfather took these shots at the Lake Saranac "Winter Festival" in 1902 in upstate New York.
He lived and worked there for a couple of years with my Aunt Brenda.
(n.b.The audio at the moment is Jackson Browne)
The family rumour was that my grandfather spent some of his time in The States "Prospecting for gold". I really don't know about that! (sounds like bollocks to me!) But who knows?
Uncertainty being something of a family tradition.....
He later became a Barber in Fife:became a Tory Councillor:joined the merchant navy and is buried in Malta.He died in 1953. He saw me once when I was a baby. So anything is possible!
Nice drinks in Halifax with Phil & Ken today

Brian Highley Bio. (Festival Organiser & interviewed in this clip)
I went to this! Aged 18. I was working as a Student Nurse at Stansfield View Hospital in Todmorden..(must have had the weekend off). Still living with my Mum & Dad in Halifax. £3 for a weekend ticket. A bit of a shambles, but I had nothing to compare it with, so I was happy as a pig in shit!
My head was full of Friendz & OZ Magazines. Timothy Leary & Co. 8 months later I had jacked in my nurse training and gone to live & work in London (St Pauls Youth Hostel)
Highlights for me was listening to Sandy Denny singing and (god help me ) Elton John.
