I am writing this on 2nd May 2024, having just discovered this entry was missing for some reason... 

Accordingly, I have no idea what this is, not of its significance...


Salad for lunch?

As you can see, I was just working through my big folder of covers from A-Z...

A very enjoyable evening, no pressure, just singing and playing songs I like...

And, I thought, it was all recorded and I could overdub bass and keyboards and second guitar to le the boys hear how the songs might be taken forward in a Capital Models stylee...

Alas, on arriving home, I found I must have connected the leads wrongly and the disc was blank...

Aarggh...

As mentioned above, I'm writing this in May 2024 and another DR/JW session is in prospect in June 2024 - of the songs above, since today's session, the following from our evening have joined the full band repertoire:-
