...and of course I ballsed up the html, forgot to centre it and left out a line in the last verse: before brackets the line is:
Come to Woking: a place for you and me
Additional notes:
I don't do tunes but it is similar to the old jazz standard "Ace in the Hole". It was written by Mike Atterbury, one-time reeds player with the excellent local jazz band Denise Lawrence and Storeyville Tickle and can be heard on their CD Hangin' around 1997 Raymer Sound RSCD 665
Woking, for those outside this area, is a town in Surrey , home to many bank and other financial workers who commute to the City (of London) each day.
I introduce it thus: "You are all familiar with the urban blues and the country blues, but many of you may not be familiar with the suburban blues. Yes, in the towns around London, every evening you can see them, in their pin-striped dungarees, sitting on their IKEA rocking chairs on their B & Q decks, playing their Esquire guitars from Argos and singing about the tragedies in their lives: their golf handicaps and the price of school fees. Legendary figures like Merrow Jones,Wey Navigation Fred Smith, Bifocal Bob and Weightwatcher Cribbage. This is a typical example of the genre",br>RtS
