Let’s Rock With The Dreamers
I hadn’t mentioned this in my previous post about Sheila Rock (“Jim’s not a poser”. Haha! In the strictest terms of how Sheila was defining “a poser” – then, yeah, he’s probably not one.

Edinburgh Photo Memento
There are not that many times I have had my visage captured in the front row at a Simple Minds gig, but there I am right down the end of the row at the Princes Street Gardens gig on the Friday night (Aug 12). A very happy bunny I was too – and it shows…
