Loving the T-shirt Mal. Happy New Year. The Marty Stuart album sounds good. I've never checked him out either but now I will. Nice that you bring in a range of genres to your videos. Horace Silver is one of the jazz greats and that's one of his best albums start to finish. All his stuff is good though. How about a favourite Blue-Note show some time ?
Happy New Year to you. Just checked out Marty Stewart-great stuff. There’s a lot of country and country influenced stuff I love, I don’t know if you’ve heard Jason Isbell’s album Southeastern. If you haven’t give that a listen. Cheers.
16:35 ' *Song for My Father* .' By coincidence there's a fab 2014 book *SONG FOR MY FATHER* by a terrific forthright anecdotal Yorkshire writer who's been on the case for decades, *Ian Clayton* . A storyteller of real life. Like all his memoirs - - & there's a good few now, including a musical classic 'Bringing It All Back Home,' - - SONG FOR MY FATHER ranges well beyond problematic relations with Dad, tapping into many aspects of the culture & always including music. Our meeting is in there too, I get sent up good & proper. I wrote a Preface to the book funny enough, that stands up well 10 years on. Except I f-d-up one sentence in the hardback edition; can't recall if paperback corrected it; it is fixed in the ebook, but ebooks aren't real books, are they. Anymore than streaming is real records. Here's the first few Preface sentences - - which is us waiting for Ian Clayton's train home:- *We were standing on the platform, looking down the track, up around a bend in the past. The future was behind us: even the change two stops up the line at Victoria for Yorkshire, even the terminus, predetermined. Look to yesterday’s yonder for what would happen next* . *It’s an act of faith, looking down the track: a wistful, communal, searching, melancholy, visionary thing to do. Just standing here can turn you into Johnny Cash or Bob Dylan* .
Cheers 4-dman. Absolutely brilliant. Gonna look the book up. If you have told me it before-I've forgotten! Anyway-so good it's worth telling at least twice
Have you, secretly, made a New Year’s resolution to be safe, steady, non-controversial? Hope not. Liked the little reference to my personal experiences, with inflatable dolls, shaping previous comments. I do a loan service.
HAPPY NEW YEAR V. M. BIT WORRIED OVER YOUR COUGH, HOPE YOU HAVE IT CHECKED OUT.Regarding Family I always liked Old songs New songs, especially No mules fool.Mick
Happy New Yeay Mal... I can see you need a much better copy of FOTHERINGAY... Let me know how i can get it to you, and in the words of the great JJ. Barrie with NO CHARGE... Keep the videos coming Mal....
Its a superb album William, and yes my copy isn't great, but your gesture is far too kind, and...I assume you're in the USA so shipping costs would be prohibitive. So thanks, your gesture is much appreciated, but really not necessary
We knew it was all bollocks! Happy New Year!

(I just had an afterthought flashback that I;ve told you all that before. Either it's deja vu or dementia or a tear in the fabric of time itself.)

Hi Mal... Your 1970 British & Irish albums of that year you did a while ago... You deserve a better copy.. Let me know Mal.. Its waiting for you...
Its a superb album William, and yes my copy isn't great, but your gesture is far too kind, and...I assume you're in the USA so shipping costs would be prohibitive. So thanks, your gesture is much appreciated, but really not necessary
Born, brought up and still living in Hull... Call it a belated Christmas gift Mal... Its yours if you want it.. Cheers..
