May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Some Gibson Flying V “porn” from the latest edition of Guitarist magazine. Just…in case Charlie ever visits the blog ?????? Flipping heck! An original 1969 Flying V went for £30k?! Fuck me! I bet Charlie wishes he still had his…though I’m not sure his was a ’69 model. Anyways…guitar porn! Lol (I can tell you…
Their best ever “cover”? I put it in quotation marks, for, speaking about it at the time Jim was reticent to call it a cover…more a reinterpreting. Whatever you decide to call it, it was wonderfully done. I used to watch the live clip from Roskilde a lot. I haven’t for a while…and instead playing…
Ah, well that explains all of Gordy’s “blue steel” work going on! He knew Hansel (aka Owen Wilson) was in the building! Lol Awesome, dude… https://www.instagram.com/p/BpOYE51lPty/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=mc3fwsunmu5m
Just…wow! I could see it play out, just the way he described it. The street scene of him avoiding his grandfather and the notion of yet another dressing down.

Thanks for making me feel about [this] small! (Isn’t it enough you make me feel a basket case when I’m standing in front of you?) But…I love you too 🙂 ??
The gang have been out shopping today…minus Charles B, it seems. Jim and Gordy both bought variations of “brothel creepers” – no more to be said there! Lol Sarah said she bought THREE PAIRS – Cherisse bought two. Did Ged buy any? Not sure whether he was alluding to being of such ample foot, he…
I’m still grappling about a trip home. There’s so many elements of it up in the air. Things seem to have calmed a bit back home. Mum is doing okay….in relative terms. My sister is feeling a little better…some tentative good news on the family health front is having her feeling not quite so helpless…
