Subject: RE: Sitting At The Kitchen Table
Hi Jerry,
yes how funny that Pete and I should meet up in your kitchen. It was in the 1970's and he ran a folk club in Croydon, I was taken there by someone I used to sing with, Dave Bryant( who introduced me to mudcat and, sadly ,is no longer with us.)It was a really great club, I do not know if it is till running? Pete used to entertain at childrens parties and he did my son's birthday one year with these fantastic shadow puppets.Christopher and Samantha loved the Tiny Tim Song;

I had a little brother
his name was Tiny Tim
We put him in the bath tub
to see if he could swim.
He drank up all the water
and ate up all the soap
he died last night
with a bubble in his throat.

In came the Doctor
in came the nurse
In came the lady with the alligater purse ......

I hope it had a happy ending!!Anyway Christopher sings it to his son Reuben, and Samantha sings it to her daughter Scarlett.
Pete, Christopher is the manager of the Fisher Theatre in Bungay, Suffolk. Did I hear that you are living in East Anglia now? Billy and I are in Frinton on Sea, on the Essex coast.You must still be involved with folk music, what are you doing?
Just made some more coffee, nice and hot, and a key lime pie is in the fridge!
