Is “The Waste Land“ the greatest poem ever written?
I think so.

Last night we went to see Adrian Cox playing in Bollington.
It was remarkably good.
A link to a review of their latest album, includes a link to a video.
Definitely one to watch.

Jamie rarely turns down a gig, he has bills to pay!

Off to see the clarinetist Adrian Cox playing in Bollington tonight, Jamie’s idea, but he now has a paying gig he couldn’t turn down!

We had similar a few years ago, a woman telling us it was Satanic, handed the boys (aged about 5-7) some Godly pamphlets, they were not impressed 😂

Once again I am promoting another Jamie gig. This is with his band that played at his Final Recital, so we know they are really, really, good!

Saturday 1st November. 08:45
A wet morning, temperatures 10-12° and dropping to 6° tonight.
Feels like 5° now due to the wind.
Knees are in a bad way this morning, even more so than the hip. This arthritis is no fun.

That’s it done, 3 years of studying Jazz Performance at Leeds Conservatoire, and graduated today, with a 1st Class Honours.
Proud Dad.

Not my usual bedroom window view, but we’re in Leeds ready for Jamie’s graduation.

I think we are in a conference hall rather than an exhibition space, the thought of hundreds of performing artists being let loose in a hall full of weapons may lead into a rather dangerous performance 😂

How many more distractions from the Epstein files can he possibly do?
We are all still waiting...
