that’s a really lovely story, thank you so much for sharing!

keep warm, plenty of fluids, and rest. (jeepers i sound like my mum 😳). get well soon

great choice!

with my team it’s mostly down (!), but credit where it’s due, we have won our last 2 matches. it’s taken 3 months from the start of the season for it to happen, but i suppose i shouldn’t quibble…

sounds like a similar metaphor for the football (soccer) team i support / suffer in London!

**most

a good choice. and thank you for reminding me about him again. he was a good man and i felt privileged to have known him

this will always remind me of my uncle, a hippie from the 70s who never stopped listening to and getting excited about new music. he absolutely loved this song. i miss him so much, an absolute inspiration to me. rest in peace Alan x

nice. this is (in my opinion) the move “new wave” song Roxy did. good call!

something i’ve enjoyed learning today!

if that’s the case, bang goes his cherished Nobel Peace Prize. literally

that reminds me, must finish making myself a mug of tea!

whether he believed me or not, i don’t care. i meant it. just listen to the hi hat work on Walking On The Moon, Message In A Bottle. or better still, how he drives the band on Voices Inside My Head: effectively a single chord song that would get boring in lesser hands

the mid section that drops out with harmonies, building back up is so joyful. true story: i met Stewart Copeland in an Indian restaurant in London’s East End 6 months ago. i went up to his table, shook his hand and told him he was one of the greatest drummers that ever lived. he seemed underwhelmed!

looking forward to your investigation. now i’m curious

Black Sea they were all dressed up in deep sea diving gear. the “green” lp may have been English Settlement. both lps are completely brilliant

then i most certainly need to learn from the master!

impressive on both counts!

i missed this yesterday. congrats on reaching “that” milestone (i’ve only a few more years until i join you). hope you had a great day and the quality of the rum was worth any hangover acquired. best wishes
