Hi Guru - thanks for the positive thoughts - I am gradually losing the will to live

Many thanks to the seven souls that joined me last Monday - Derek, John Birch, John P, Bert Tann & Pat, Steve & Angela

It was a very cosy evening

To not destroy partitions on your hard disk - wear flowers on a full moon

Hope you all had a Brill time tonight, I do miss the Sings at Barton, such a friendy session!

Haven't been able to get on-line for ages as the PC is plaing up & I'm spending a lot of my spare time (when I'm not at festivals or working) trying to convince PC Servicecall that it needs fixing. Am now on my third DVD-RW drive & know all about destroying & creating partitions on my hard disk. I wish I didn't really!!

Sending positive thoughts to the Barton Crew / Folkaholics {{{{Ross}}}} - may you always have music!

Hil

You may be wandering how our village of Barton-Le-Clay came about

In ancient times when beer was invented, the good folk of this village decided to build a counter where all could come and drink

It was a great success and the village leader, Mr Pub was pleased

Unfortunately neighbouring tribes were jealous and took to stealing the serving counter at any opportunity and destroying it

Mr Pub came up with the idea to build a counter so heavy that it could not be taken

As metal was expensive, clay was chosen to form the new bar

One ton was deemed heavy enough

Soon all the local tribes flocked to get drunk in

Bar-ton-Le-Clay

Come and continue the tradition - but don't steal the bar

Cheers Martin - I hope everythings well with you?

Hope to see you see you soon
