I've been away this weekend but still managed to really enjoy everyone's posts. It's 50 years since Arthur Ashe meditated his way to a famous Wimbledon win, so I'll have to sign off. Have a great week everyone!

Happy MLK Jr. Day, my friends. In 1968, Dr. King spoke the following words, which are equally true today:

"The nation is sick. Trouble is in the land; confusion all around.... But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars."

We must find & feed the points of light.

Will have to take a break from 45s to play test these LPs I picked up for 50p each yesterday in a charity shop in Stratford. I'll take a yellow card! @jimmyviz.bsky.social 🟡

A guy called Dave Wood helped me record this song called In Spite of All the Years, at his Broad Oak Studio. He played drums and violin on this song.

Amazing to think that it's been 50 years since Philippe Petit walked the wire between the Twin Towers.
