Sounds like a challenging project? But satisfying and I'm sure it will turn out perfect and sound amazing. Can't wait to see and hear your baby.

I had left home by the 70's so I had the freedom to wear my hair to my shoulders with a beard to match. I thought I looked cool! Flared trousers or jeans with a denim shirt were my uniform. In a rock band I thought I was John Lennon, dream on... I'm lucky as my flares still fit, under the belly and over my socks, and I still managed to pull the birds..yeah man!

quite relaxing. I notice a lot of edits musically and photographically? I thought the wet whistle choir was going to be Mr & Mrs Whisky?

I am delighted you've returned to the fold and hope you're going to take part again like you used to? I'd wish you a merry Christmas but I'm hoping to hear from you again before then? May your rock continue to roll.     

I must echo everything said above. Beautiful song well produced and very descriptive video, I wouldn't have guessed it was about prescribed drug abuse.
Top notch Jim.

So glad to hear that. The Stones managed to carry on as did the Eagles and many more. Good luck to them.

Lord Brian. I am so proud to know a brilliant poet and author and also charitable person. I so hope your book sells well And the song raises lots of royalties for such a great cause.
(I was going to say "philanthropist" but I didn't know how to spell it. Turns out it's...I.T.)

Shwmae Pedr. Diolch am yna. Thanks for that.

That line came from two references, you can imagine eight strapping straight guys watching a completely naked girl/woman forming a curtain wall around her to hide her nakedness from kids but also to have a good look! Then there's the old joke...how many electricians does it take to change a light bulb? Answer ten, one to change it, one to hold the ladder and eight to give instructions. My apologies to any electricians, I'm just repeating a joke! (I was tempted to say "yeehah" there but I won't )

Hi there Brian. Unfortunately no, the only one I knew passed away, he was a great one. Looking forward to your book. I hope you don't mind if I make a charitable donation in your name over here. Probably Great Ormand street children's hospital?

Thanks for the review, it's funny how one line leads to another it all began with " she flew through the air like a naked buffoon" echos of Boris Johnson known locally as the blond buffoon. I think the firemen would have dropped him..LOL

This just came to me and once I began the story unfolded, unbidden and a little bit risque.

The Girl that Did Tricks In The Air.

She flew through the air like a naked buffoon.
Not a hair on her head, just a shapely full moon.
They asked “from where does this beauty here hail?”
She said “OK mate, I came here from jail.”

Her eyes wet with tears as the tight rope was wrapped.
Around her two wrists so it seemed she was trapped.
Forty feet high above all the heads.
One tragic slip...and the lady be dead.

“Call out the fire department” they called.
“Their ladder and blanket should catch should she fall.”
Her fingers now numb her skin turning blue.
They stood right below her wondering “what should we do?”

She looked down below her a feast to her eyes.
Ten hunky firemen “oooh, what a surprise.”
“Which one will catch me, if I would let go?”
With that in a moment her fingers let go.

Two big muscled he-men held out their arms.
They caught her, held tightly, protecting her charms.
“It's OK young lady” the fire chief exclaimed.
“I'll give you my coat, and my hat lest it rains.”

Eight strapping firemen stood like a fence.
Stuck to the floor, they were lost in a trance.
A shaply young lady they stood there and stared.
For she was the girl that did tricks in the air.
