Alright welcome and thanks for listening! Hope you caught Bubblegum OD and The Whig Out and Rama Lama Ding Dong in an hour. Fair Warning: I should have titled this show ALL OVER THE MAP. What can I say! Sometimes loose ends and time tight prevail!

The aforementioned rain ended for us early this morning. But now we just learned that the storm front that swept us packed power enough to bring out a tornado! Some towns just south of us suffered coniderable damage, downed trees and power lines, mostly, but fortunately no casualties.

Not so sure he hadn't learned guitar, but he had to relearn it. (His fingers were stiff, but he could use it aws a barre).
His unique style has a lot to do with his "handicap".

Dang ; Every-time I hear the Stranglers (especially the B&W album) i recall regretful youthful vinyl purges = when I sold off some of my vinyls. That particular Stranglers album came in swirled grey (b&w mixed) tones. And what really kills me is that I’d forgotten that I had stored their 7”Ep of ‘Dont Bring Harry’ inside it which I lost without knowing. That Ep has my favorite twisted Hugh Cornwall song ever = “Wired” !
Cheerio folks.

I have quite a bit of vinyl regret, having left my records in the care of a friend, who subsequently joined a cult after I'd moved abroad. Just started a new collection during the pandemic.
