The lineup for the 1967 Jazz & Blues Festival at Windsor; famous for seeing the debut of Fleetwood Mac. Someone commented how much guitar talent was on show so… Well, I love a challenge.

My review of Van Morrison’s terrific return to form is now up on The Afterword site.

YouTube video by BruceSpringsteenVEVO Bruce Springsteen - I'm Not Sleeping (Official Audio)

I’m Not Sleeping from Springsteen’s Tracks 2 sounds like classic @dannythechamp.bsky.social & The Champions of the World.

I can pay it no higher compliment.

Today, it is 25 years since this gorgeous woman said ‘I do,’ and we got married.

She is my rock, my forever girl and my best friend.

We’ve had some amazing adventures together; and there’s plenty more still to come.

Happy 25th anniversary, JB. I love you to bits

Liberty Hall Road? I was Williams Close, one minute away.

Very small world; we just landed at Cork Airport and are on our way to the Kingdom to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.
The Booker Cash & Carry on Oyster Lane? I worked there from Dec 1976 to June 1997, running it from ‘86 to ‘97. I probably knew your mate as a customer.

I was in West Byfleet and then Addlestone. Worked beside Byfleet & New Haw Station for 21 years.

Great. I still have a dozen to do before it’s finished. It’s been a 4-year labour of love.

There’s over 100 others in the site, Mick. Try the one for Trident Studios.

I’ve been re-reading some of my blog for ‘a thing’ and this one still makes me smile; what a life Lucky Gordon had.

A priceless evening with a musical hero. A showing of the film The Immediate Family plus a Q&A by David Hepworth, with Lee Sklar.
It’s a brilliant film, full of love and warmth, and is on a streaming platform right now.
Lee is the most humble, sweet guy who has time for everyone.
A great night.

No idea why, Kev. I guess a list wouldn’t hurt.

Probably.

In case anyone missed this yesterday, here is part 4/4 of my story of EMI/Abbey Road Studios. It includes the end of The Beatles, Fela Kuti making 2 albums in 2 days and the making of The Dark Side of the Moon. Retweet it if you enjoy. 🙏

Thanks, Andy 🙏
