I've never really followed the fashion scene.

But then again, I was in the greengrocer's yesterday, and a bloke I've never met before said he liked my boots, asked about my hat, and concluded that I look "sharp".

Am I amazed by how funny it is? Or do I realise with horror that it's a gag-free bit of leaden attempted satire?

Find out by downloading ep 6 wherever you get your podcasts!

If you've already listened, can I ask you a massive favour? If you could leave a review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Amazon Music, that will really help people to find the podcast.

Five stars preferred, natch.

Thanks, pals!

Only been wearing them three days and already so comfy. And every time I catch a glimpse of them it gives me a little boost.

Particularly pleased with the red laces I fitted 'em with.

A photo of my Dad drumming for an unknown jazz band in the late 1940s.

A letter I wrote to Dad on 30 November 1983.

A letter from Dad's Jamaican pen-pal Lloyd George Bailey on 23 August 1949.

Two photos of Lloyd George Bailey.

What's that sign at the back?

What's the name of the band?

Who are the other musicians?

Sadly, these are things I've never know.

Also, weirdly, I found myself talking a lot about Tony Allen and quoting his ideas.

Still really miss him.
