A lovely photo of wee Tiger was given to us by his owner Sally from a couple of rows up...


Apparently the wee man is now buried in her garden...

So sad...

Still looking for him whenever I open the curtains or pull up to the garage in the car...

On a cheerier note, this 7CD box of Yehudi Menuhin's take on various Bach Orchestral Suites and Concertos (including all six Brandenbergs) was acquired at the BHF shop, still shrink wrapped for just five of your English pounds...


No time to listen tonight though as I'd decided to make a return to Out of the Bedroom...

I'd been listening to my three songs for most of the day - they are the three I can sing without reverting to lyric/chord sheets - "Twenty Twenty Vision", "A Nice Job in a Small Town" and "I Re-Arranged the House"...

It was 15 years ago around this Thursday that I first started going along and I wrote a shed load of songs specifically to sing there...

Of the three above, "Nice Job" was the first I ever played at the club and ""House" was the first I wrote for it...

Founder Jim Igoe and I worked out it must be over 5 years since I've played there, given there are at least two, possibly three venues the club's been at in the last few years at which I've never played...

Tonight was No 662, my first appearance was No 59...

A very enjoyable evening all told - Jim was writing the review...



 ...now that it's out, I am able to identify my fellow performers...

On arriving home, where Anne and chum Lynn had been having a "gin night", wee Fang was waiting at the back door so, of course, in he came - I wonder if he's missing his brother, Tiger...



Lynn liked the wee man, despite being somewhat allergic to cats...


All in al then, a good day...

Today's artwork, "A Visit from Fang"...
