"Climb every woman" - Whitney Houston What are your misheard lyrics?

After a few days of Facebook messing me about it has now locked me out completely and I'm having problems either getting back in or opening a new account

The week ahead - We are still in quiet January

I have lotss of news. Look out for Monday the 2nd of February!!

If you are in the Facebook listing group read on... Facebook is preventing me posting in the group because some idiot programme or algorithm says that I posted as recent as 24hrs ago therefore I'm spamming myself. Please use the web page to track updates until they condescend to allow new posts.

See you later for Progressive folk from Kindred Spirit Band and Jazzy prog from Living In Shadows featuring award winning vocalist Zoe Gilby geoffreytucker42.wixsite.com/solentareapr...

Living in Shadows

1 Gentle Giant 2 Kate Rusby 3 Andy Shepherd 4 Black Sabbath 5 Moscow Symphony Orchestra playing Mussorgsky and others (It might have been a different Russian orchestra) I was trying to list one from each genre but there are many more genres never mind concerts

Only covers bands in the next week apart from tomorrow so I hope to see you there or some jazzy and some folky prog!

I'm looking forward to Christmas at The 1865 this year. Are you? www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4SD...

I had forgotten about this until it came up as a Facebook memory. Now can be listened to as a tribute to the late great Mr Wetton, a great supporter of other musicians and often seen in the audience. www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4Jo...
