Getting excited. Only 13 hours to go.

Yours truly has to wear a suit, drive to Derbyshire, do a bit of shouting, drive back, remove suit, re string the baritone guitar, remember to bring the bugger.....

An antique gun's work is never done. Only been trying this "come out of retirement" lark officially for two days and already need a soddin' holiday.

Tonight should be good. Managed to hijack a mini bus leaving Cambridge Festival and the ransom is that those inside must give us a turn tonight in Epworth. For those who love Americana, we have Joan Baez singing tonight. For those who love Americana but really prefer English folk infused in it, Peggy Seeger will be giving the rookery banjo lessons. For those of us slightly younger than the old codgers in our midst, Wilco Johnson has promised to duet Roxette and Milk & Alcohol with me.

Anyway, I was eating cheese before retiring to my pit, what's your excuse?
