strum-und-dang

I don`t feel like dancing.

I don`t feel like dancing. I am not a good dancer. I used to be. Truth be told in years gone by, there has been many a time whilst full of life, bravado, and snakebite, when a younger version of myself loved nothing better than to throw twisted deranged polygrammatical[...]

Misspelt Youth.

I was introduced to the guitar at such an early age it regrettably eludes me to post a specific year on this fleck of dust to assign it to. Me Uncle Mick, who was my Mothers daft little brother was one of those lucky sods who was born at a[...]

The Country Members.

There’s an Old story about a fella coming into some money, and realising his ambition of buying an Aston Martin. He walks into the showroom, has a test drive, and quicker than you can say “is that how you spell Martin in this context” is handing over the cash to[...]

All this Useless Beauty

The Kids are alright.

  I`ve never met a Welsh Nurse. Statistics will, and I`m about 63% certain of this, prove that they exist. but I`ve never met one. I`ve worked in health for fifteen years, and aside from Nerys Hughes in that BBC thing that used to be on a Sunday, I have[...]

A Rush and a Push.

  Have I missed a meeting? When did it become a necessity for everything to be done yesterday? What a madness it is which engulfs our species concerning making things happen quicker. When I was a child I thought like a child, but even then I could never comprehend how[...]
