Rather a good bluegrass session at The Six Bells last night. Not many people turned up but the few that were there were on grand form. This was the perfect occasion for me to use my groovy new recorder. I have a brain like a sieve and can never remember a tune for long. But [...]

This said I was a [...] According to this blog I’ve been going to The Boot for exactly 1 year this week. It seems a lot longer. In that time I’ve warbled through: You Belong to Me |
