Sonny Curtis, the guy who wrote this, has died. The last of the Crickets.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKrx...

After a busy DoD weekend, looking forward to kicking my heels up at this.

A full-house for my Glasgow Doors Open Days Festival blether.

Today's fun... www.doorsopendays.org.uk/regions/glas...

Swans off to his scratcher - tomorrow's talk only 80% written - the last 20% i'll wing. But, hey, Paul Haig! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHQ8...

So, tonight, I got to speak at the opening of this - not an artist, not a member. My wee late art teacher mum would be beaming! glasgowartclub.co.uk/exhibition-g...

So, long story - long night; picked up this orphan, and walked home with the two guys who used to run the old 13th Note, in Glassford Street. Some nights, this city...

If you want some calm and humanity in this shitstorm; Peter has it. Words of Mercury; the bastard writes like a fever dream - humane, friendly, informed.

Think I was at the gig, at Tiffs, when they debuted this; game changer! www.youtube.com/watch?v=StHG...

When you get a late night e-mail from a lady who was at last night's talk. Says she couldn't speak to me at the end, 'because she thought she'd cry'. Says: 'I saw my late dad's enthusiasm in you'. Well, that's just magic...

A walk across the rooftops... It's July 1948, and 20-year-old civil engineer Douglas Graham is casting an eye across Glasgow from the roof of the City Chambers.

A little bird tells me that ace lensman Douglas Corrance turns 78 today. I love his 1979 image of one of my childhood heroes, busker William 'Scotty' McLean - Glasgow's Pied Piper - taken outside the old Renfield Street Odeon.

Walking back to the Subway after tonight's talk, there was young woman on her phone at the lights: 'One guy was an old Rockabilly type, and he was just brilliant...' The lights changed; I walked on a bit taller. At 59, I'll take that all day...

The quiet before the hordes arrive… At #NLS Kelvin Hall.

This 'Worsdall Wednesday' we conclude the chapter on lost churches, with this cracker, which once occupied the gushet of Argyle Street and Old Dumbarton Road. Now a Tesco, with flats above. Pic/text: The City That Disappeared: Glasgow's Demolished Architecture by Frank Worsdall (1981)

Off out on the blether tomorrow evening. The event's already old-out, but you can still join the livestream. www.nls.uk/whats-on/los...

RIP Robert Redford

Family roots...

Even after the Clyde was dredged and deepened, it still occasionally froze over in winter. It's the early spring of 1895, and these two steam-tugs are chaperoning this elegant tall-master downriver. Aye, that would shiver yer timbers and no mistake...

Forty-one-years is the blink of an eye. Me, aged 18, outside the back of Sheulee's folks' place in Johnstone. My first girlfriend, a Scots/Indian girl; didn't put up with racist pish then, or now. Older, grayer, no wiser - still hold true to honesty, justice, friendship, music, books, and dancing.
