dear grab

i really must sign up to mudcat soon, i'm just lazy i guess,

no didn't make the BJ gig, i heard about it and if i had a magic carpet i would have been there.

my official designation is "carer" and can't leave home for too long without making sure there is someone here to be with my wife.

plus i'm one of those weirdo's who's never in his 50 years owned a car,and public transport in suffolk is challenging.

i do tho' have a letter from BJ written in about '65 it says "dear brian i am terribly sorry i could not make it on monday. i ran out of money and couldn't find anyone to borrow from,and i'm afraid i was in no condition to hitchhike,and there was also the problem of finding a guitar.hoping this did not inconvenience you too much yours sincerely BJ"

DG still plays an occassional club i believe folk roots may help there?

yours
