LUCINDA WILLIAMS "JOY" Live at La Zona Rosa, Austin Texas March 20, 1994.
My skin is getting older .
Loads of bruises this week on both my arms.
It seems this happens as your skin gets old . Ironically , most of my 'wounds' I can place from swimming ( brushing my arms on the swimming pool' lockers: brushing my arms against the lane ropes ;etc etc)
Hey -hoy! :)
Live at the War Memorial Auditorium, Plymouth, MA; October 30, 1975I went to see Sea Power at The Hebden Bridge Trades Club last night !
Bit of a surprise I was there tbh. Tickets for this Launch of their new album had been sold out weeks ago. I was a bit sick not to be seeing them ( I've seen them 5 times before .The first time being 2006 in Manchester ).But had resigned myself to missing today.
But i heard it thru the grapevine that ,because of the fear of floods & transport disruption over the weekend , many of their travelling Barmy Army from Leeds & Manchester had blobbed.So tickets to spare! I dashed down to the Trades at 8:30pm on the night , they were due onstage at 9 , and got in ! Phew! From Slippers to Rock N Roll in 20 minutes! I should be in The Olympics !
A Strange Coda to the evening Halfway through the set , a bloke next to me , had what i think was a suspected heart attack. His partner asked me to "look after him" while she fought thru the mosh pit to ring an ambulance & alert staff. After 10 minutes , she came back with them. and we helped the bloke down the Fire Escape at the back of the building. As he left the building the band played " No Lucifer". And in a further creepy twist, one of their new songs mentions " Fire Escapes" in the lyrics ! I hope he was ok........?
Details here:
Sad.Sudden.Shocking News .
I hear that Paul has died.
I worked with him for several years. he also came with me to see Bob Dylan in Manchester once.
We lost touch after I retired. The last time I saw him was during the first Covid Clampdown .I took this photo of him with his " Lockdown Beard". Currently,
I have no more details yet....

I had an hour to kill this morning , so I had a walk up to The Bridestones ( between Todmorden & Blackshaw Edge) Like walking up T'Moon! click for it's History
I have only been briefly out of the house twice in the last 7 days.
Flu:nose-bleeds : coughs; blah-blah-blah . I wondered "Covid" but ,thankfully the result was
" negative".
Comfort of sorts! Anyway to cheer myself up , I've booked tickets to see Don Letts in Todmorden in May .
Today's audio is Elvis Costello Live at The Wiltern Theatre, Los Angeles, CA; June 3, 1991. So, the image is a photo i took of a figure on Ken's Living Room wall this afternoon : he has a bust of an arab sticking out of the plaster ( I didn't like to ask...) + he gave me some Moldovan Chocolates , to cheer me up . The most exciting thing that's happened all week........
Someone on twitter wrote regarding this image :
"This is a genuinely, albeit inadvertently, interesting piece of political communication imo. The allusion to the 90s via the visual Friends reference, Creasy’s baby in there as a nod to liberal feminism and to signal that the managerial class should be able to do as they please."
It's either that , or else Keith just farted............
