First gig of the year. Cahalen Morrison

Paris 1976

My first novel was called The Marble Kiss and when it was published in 1994 I received various gifts with a lip motif to match the cover. Incl this ring commissioned by my wife. The silversmith later told us that the only reference he had to hand was a pic of Brigitte Bardot’s lips. They live on.

The real revolution in Bob Dylan going electric at Newport in 1965 had to do with the length of his live shows. With the wood stove-powered Dylan, the coal fired Dylan, or the Dylan run on leaded gasoline, concerts could go only 20 minutes before the coughing drowned him out.

Watched this last night. Worth checking out on iplayer. A very human film and great acting from Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson (in her last film). www.theguardian.com/film/2023/oc...

It doesn’t really get any better than this version of this wonderful song youtu.be/MHo1fNnXFVU

I promise you that this version of "Merry Christmas Baby" by Bonnie Raitt and Charles Brown, who was born in Texas City and raised in Galveston, is the best Texas Christmas song you've heard this year. 😀 Listen and tell me if you agree! youtu.be/aCJuHT0HIOk?...
