I've been watching the 80s Fall Guy series. You'd be forgiven if you thought this image was wrong, but Tom Selleck appeared in S1 e12 as himself. In the first of this 2-parter Lou Ferrigno was the Hulk. Class #fallguy #leemajors #tomselleck #hulk #nostalgia

This and everything before it. Anything after, including Joshua Tree, I can do without. Also, they may well have done some really good stuff, but it's 'them' I dislike.

I never watched Miami Vice first time around. Probably slightly too young, although I remember some of my mates talking about it. Maybe it was a protective parent thing. Anyway, considering it started in 1984 it holds up. S1 e4. #hooked #miamivice #michaelmann

A reflective post in response to a fellow songwriter who told me at the Filey Folk Festival that they're "behind everybody, and trying to catch up." www.thedeadpoetmusic.com/post/no-one-... #songwriter #songwriting #folkmusic #fileyfolkfestival #livemusic #philosophicalreflections #folk

No one is behind: A songwriter's reflection on time and presence

In the world of music, we often think of tempo, timing, and rhythm—as if life itself were a grand composition. And yet, sometimes we can feel out of sync, as though we’ve missed our cue or fallen behi...

Filey Folk Festival - thank you all

The Filey Folk Festival was an eclectic mix of music. The buildings breathe it and come alive. They pulse. Sometimes with gentle noise, other times shaking at the foundations, other times with light a...

Blog post about my live appearance on Bill Horncastle’s ‘Fox's Den Radio Show’. Bill is a huge advocate for new music and independent artists.

Feel like I've spent an inordinate amount of time adding commas to poorly written docs this morning resulting in me rejecting their use in my own written work to the detriment of the readability of that work which resulted in me being out of breath trying read it back it being a long winded joke.

Up since 5am this morning. Not a great start to a busy day. Going to comfort myself by reading a new book - had it for a while actually, untouched - Bound for Glory, Woody Guthrie #books #reading #tinnitus #folkmusic #folk #history

Advantage of #tinnitus. I'm up in time for the first #f1 qualifying of the season.

Update: I've bought new strings, Rosin and chords / notes chart for the violin. A day of blah, at least ends with a piece of mild amusement

Wife brought her old violin from her Mum and Dad's. I've ordered a new bow and some resin. As if I don't already make enough noise with my guitar and harmonica. Fun times ahead 😁 #music #creativity #mentalhealth #tinnitus #noise

Four years to the day since Mum passed away. She was a truly wonderful woman. Miss her every day.
