Diane will love this.

Went a "new" clubby thing tonight.

Found it was the usual bunch of people pumping out the same old stuff that they always do at the other things they have on other night.

There was was just one exception (not me).A dear friend who managed to sing a couple of lovely Nancy Griffiths songs on a borrowed guitar.

Might go again just to hear that lady (and her sister who is a closer friend) do some more of the same from those two.

The rest I gave up on years ago. I use their events a rehearsal time and try out new stuff of mine on them. They don't see what it is I'm doing and it's only for my sake that I do it( is it sounding right to me?)

OK I know that I am playing the wrong game but they are asking for it.


Yes Diane it was a nasty room downstairs in the basement/cellar and all the things you dislike are included in what they do.

But, in a fairer state of mind, if they didn't do their thing in their space I might have to deal with them in places where better things occur.
