Subject: RE: Folk club in 60s-set tv cop series.
Hiya,

I obviously don't know whether the 60s portrayal was accurate or not. I'm told my life would be a lot harder then than now. I like all cop shows, but i'll pick Retro over modern any day.

I'm not sure about starting the GG books, because a lot of times the book's not as good as the TV version or vice versa. I say I watched some but not all; I was watching when I was on a Respite stay (the very last one)

When I'm excited I tend to stiffen up & when I heard the songs I nearly drove my wheelchair through the TV screen. Perhaps I was hoping to get to the folk club that way ??!! (would make a good idea for a series)

Since I was very young, certain songs have completely annihilated me in a way real life doesn't seem to. I had tears pouring out of my eyes & my mates, who surprisingly didn't know of my luv of trad. song, were all saying "it's all right, they're [the carers] are coming".

Then it happened again with 'It's All Over Now Baby Blue'.
EB is brilliant.
