Was feeling regret at not buying the big stack of drums that the local charity shop was selling for ยฃ50.

In all honesty, I thought Damo Suzuki was already dead. I'm not sure why.
I did get to see Damo performing once - at Jacob's Well in Leeds. I don't remember why, but the promoter cancelled the gig. Luckily, I didn't get that message, because Damo and the band showed up and played anyway.
