Morcomb and Wise had a joke that went something like; two old men on the beach one says "nice out ain't it?" The other replies "well put it away people are looking!"
Moral...I'd be worried if people laughed at my "funny" bits...lololol

Yea, got that out of my system. When I played gigs I used to love it when people danced or sang along, laughed when I cracked a joke or clapped when I finished a song...aaahhh the good old days!

Before anyone says it...I never got pelted with rotten fruit     

A great lesson for these Covid times Jim. There's been a lot of stuff on the news about relationships that can't withstand the pressures of close proximity 24/7.  It's also a life lesson for us retirees suddenly thrust together after 50 years of only seeing your loved one a few hours a day.
You capture it superbly as usual.     

Pete, you could catch a moment in your palm and make it interesting and significant. I only saw about 18 seconds of Brians recital and the ovation he received and I believe you would be honoured likewise if you took part in one of these gigs.
Congrats to you both, I'm proud to say I am your friend. I am you friend ...right?     

Nice one Ed, makes more sense than mine. I've never been afraid of the dark or the countryside. The scariest 10 minutes of my life was walking across a field of cows in the pitch black of night. I think I was more afraid of walking in a message left by a thoughtful Frisian!

Just listened to your recording ( neat guitar solo) really good. Thanks for sharing.

Shwmae Pete?

To be honest I never suffered with night terrors. I used to play in a band where the other guitarist, John, used to be a big fan of horror books, movies and songs as well as the Beatles...good old days! It began as a single line which I thought would be a arty nonsense poem.

I've uploaded the recording to SoundCloud and the link is to be found in MY BAND AND ME. I think?     

Welcome back to the 21st century!     

Brilliant, I can see why your kids could sing the chorus. Thanks for posting this tallented performer.     

I'm confused...ED or KEN? How do i address our esteemed colleague?

Any way, I take that last line of the chorus as...I'm chasing my dreams. Hope I'm not caught by the establishment before I get there...? Obviously I don't want Jim to change his words to that mouthful, just how I understand his writing process.     

Hi Ed. I began recording last night and I think it may take a few dedicated sessions to complete to my fairly low standards! I'll post the link when it's done.     

Hi Jim. Hate to disappoint but it's actually a country song, inspired by having to wait for someone, you know how it goes....get your shoes on I'm ready. So you get ready to go, then she says...are you ready and you say...yep ready to rock, and she's still putting her make up on!     

can we change Wichita lineman for Texas lineman?
if it snows that stretch down south wont ever stand the strain. just a line from one of my all time fav songs
