I am now old and cynical enough to get through just about anything I want to sing though there several songs that friends sing that DO grab me .
   My Ex sent me a birthday card "From your own Gibson Girl" just after I included Bill Caddick's song in my regular Rep that has some
serious connection , and one of my uncles who was the sort of guy who
would go out of his way to help a friend or neighbour is always in my mind when I sing Pete Bond's 'Joe Peel'
