While trawling youtube I saw Brother John of a band called Twisted Gezzer even my family thought it was me.Anyone else got a double on the folk circuit.

Not on the folk circuit as such, but I have been mistaken more than once for Matthew Corbett who used to be famous (in the UK at least) as the puppeteer in Sooty and Sweep. He now does solo gigs, singing and playing guitar, in local pubs in his area, but I don't know if he plays any "folk" music.

I was chuffed by the comment on the Youtube video by mrsrobertsmith87. She wrote "he looks great for his age though, he's a good looking man".

Oh yeah ...

'Matthew' Corbett's real name is Peter, and he occasionally visits Lymm Folk Club, as he spends half his year living in Lymm.

However, I do have a double here on the 'cat - Micca Patterson! We were photographed together a few years ago at the Hastings 'Jack in the Green' morris festival.

I found that people used to say "I've seen you somewhere before" no matter where I went they all recognised me then one day my grandson said "Grandad why have you got your photo on a £10 note".I looked and there was an image of me looking back calling himself "Darwin"
Cheers Bill

I would hire a good lawyer and sue him, Good Soldier Schweik.

That guy really sucks, I am sure you are far better ...

Je Est un Autre

'Je Est un Autre'

—Rimbaud.

He is the man who makes notes,
The observer in the tall black hat
Face hidden in the brim:
He has watched me watching him.

The street-corner in Buda and after
By the post-office a glimpse
Of the disappearing tails of his coat,
Gave the same illumination, spied upon,
The tightness in the throat.

Once too meeting by the Seine
The waters a moving floor of stars,
He had vanished when I reached the door,
But there on the pavement burning
Lay one of his familiar black cigars.

The meeting on the stairway
Where the tide ran clean as a loom:
The betrayal of her, her kisses
He has witnessed them all: often
I hear him laughing in the other room.

He watched me now, working late,
Bringing a poem to life, his eyes
Reflect the malady of De Nerval:
O useless in this old house to question
The mirrors, his impenetrable disguise.

—Lawrence Durrell.
