"no bread heads"

How to make a small fortune as a folk musician - start with a large one.

And, while I'm doing the old favourites :-
"Mummy, Mummy, I want to be a musician when I grow up !"
"Don't be silly dear, no-one does both"

Ahem. I'm GUEST because I don't look in here much, and most of the subject lines don't appeal much when I do (plus I have limited tolerance for people winding each other up). But every now I get interested in a thread - I probably should get round to registering sometime ...

Looks like we're coming from some similar places, yes, except punk never really grabbed me - by the time it came along I'd got tired of being a "music consumer" as the industry likes to call it, and was busy learning northumbrian bagpipe tunes and deeply weird polskas from the middle of Sweden, and so on. I liked the "it was easy, it was cheap, go and do it !" (much truer now now than it was then), but wasn't really interested in much of the music that resulted.

My latest CD purchase arrived this morning - a 3CD set of the Grateful Dead live in London, 1974. It cost an appalling amount of money, but I was curious to see how it matched my memory of the gig ...
