Now live on a farm with a gorgeous redhead. I do blues/jazz and older rock acts occasionally... I do go out and hear some of the younger acts but very selective about it. Pubs around here will toss acts for playing to loud. Things have changed a lot since I did pubs 30 years ago. Places I used to bring literally a ton and a half of gear I now do with a few hundred pounds, or half that in kilos. Fergit you guys use the new fangled system over there. Liquids are sold by the liter. Milk and gasoline still by the gallon. Most dry goods still by the pound. And people wonder why the US is a nation of crazy people. You have to suffer from multiple personalities just to survive here.

That's quite a loss! Did someone take you under their wing?

Now we need both metric and inch-based tools to fix American cars. :-(

There's TWO I met one night a few years back who are friends. One, Fiona, was sweet as pie and and came up up to me batting her cornflower blue eyes at me asking me to join them in a game of pool Her friend, Anna, just 'smouldered' quietly.in the distance. Anna was later to present herself in such a stunning manner that quite literally, my knees went to jelly. Damn, she's HOT ! Tall ( I like), slender with gentle curves but not too skinny, auburn hair just below her shoulders, an enigmatic and confident smile, great alternative dress sense, a lovely sense of humour and just plain gorgeous all over. She also looks like it rained freckles lightly on her. Plus once I gave her a lift home and she kissed my neck like no-one else has before - it was like sucking and blowing at the same time. PHEW ! And there's other redheads I've been smitten by too yet never once 'scored'. Damn ! You heard the joke ? When's a redhead sexually satisfied ??? When she unties you. Graham |
