Mike, I never get crabby about meeting new people, especially musicians or people interested in music. Bill has been in my home and is one of the most personable persons I have ever met. Not even crabby before his first cuppa.

I do not and will not ever believe that Bill himself thinks he has a "personal fan club". Your rant sounds like jealousy to me. Or like a toddler whining because he can't have ALL the candy in the store......

I did lose my "local" because the landlord decided to close a corridor of land he owned which had been used for over 100 years for moving cattle which royally pissed off the cattlemen who were regulars. That was 4 years ago and I still don't have a local.

When the pub closed for lack of business even the "bikers" were pissed off. We never excluded them even though it was a Cowboy type pub. They liked the place and kept coming back. Then,

the landlord died, and the pub was truly and seriously closed.......

Mike, get off your snit. Make some new friends called Mudcatters at the Jug.....try hard not to limit your social life to one night at one pub.......go get a life and quit bitching about one of the nicest people I have ever met.

(rant off--somebody come get the soapbox...)
