hi, Joe,
Dick Miles the singer song writer and singer of traditional songs is still alive.
Dick Miles country singer[Last Good bye] had a hit in 1968,he could possibly be alive.

So, Dick Miles is not Dick Miles, nor is he Dick Miles. And my old friend Dick Miles has definitely sucked the kumara, so he isn't him either.
Can he be just an idea in the mind of God?





So, Janie, I'll have to book an appointment, because I'm getting confuddled in my old age!

Is this the bandwagon? Only I'd just like to distance myself from the other John Kellys that are doing the rounds, and any dead ones that aren't.

All this is about is that he is telling us that he has, "Miles to go before I sleep. Miles to go before I sleep."

I'm a bit concerned about Ralphie. He is obviously also a person with multiple personalities ... according to his website he went before us into the light five years ago ... and is also "one of the few active blindfold billet, apportation, trumpet levitation, and materialization mediums" in the world. Could come in useful at gigs I suppose ... basket ball playing, trumpet levitating... and a highly spiritual presence....

And I must say, that's an absolutely beautiful corker of a song (didn't notice any singing) Dick - you should be proud!!

Oh, and in case anyone was wondering, I'm not the Anne Lister who was a somewhat predatory lesbian in 19th century Halifax who kept a coded diary of her conquests. Even if we share a birthday. Which is spooky.
But really, that's not me in any significant detail apart from name and birthday - and I have to keep fighting it out in Google searches as she gets more hits than I do.
