OK. That was fair. I could have bought a few pints though!

OK - that means we'll definitely be bumping into them at the Maryport Blues 
Festival at the weekend. I suspected as much. We've only got tickets for the 
Friday night so they'd better be there!

Hey, it was really great to see you two. Hope you had a safe trip back. I 
realised later that there is a sign for Workington at the first roundabout!! 
All the times we've been to Millom to visit #1 grandson and I'd never 
noticed!

Kai Hsia was fascinated by the coal. I had to explain to her the 
significance of it, so now that I probably did too good a job it is in her 
jewellery drawer!!

Look out for my buddies Tin Pan Alley at the Fest. I don't know what day 
they're playing (think it might be Sunday) but I can't make it this year. :(

Bestest,
Kezzi and KH. . .

By the way, grandchild #2 has finally turned out to be the false alarm we 
dreaded. Blast the mini-pill and it's ridiculous side effects. KH had even 
decided to learn to knit and had finished her first bootee after 2 
months....

Puppies are a lot less trouble, actually, and need no boots.

When I was recovering in hospital after the birth of my son, I decided to 
crochet him a nice jacket in rainbow colours. I got about half-way through 
before they let me go home.... and at the age of 27 he's still waiting for 
me to finish it... Oh well, maybe it'll fit a grandchild one day...

Yup - and they were, too.

We were entertained by an American blues guy I hadn't heard of called 
Studebaker John, followed by the Animals (well, only one original Animal, 
actually - the drummer) and the Yardbirds (also many new faces among their 
ranks).

The modern version of the Animals, although mostly somewhat fat and ugly, 
sound eerily like the originals, and it was quite strange seeing 'House of 
the Rising Sun' being performed by the band that made it famous, playing the 
same arrangement used in 1964. We've all played that song so many times on 
so many crappy old guitars at so many drunken parties that I'd almost 
forgotten what it sounded like played by professionals.  Mind you, the 
bowdlerized version of the lyrics still makes no sense at all: long ago I 
went back to singing the 'proper' words.

The Yardbirds were excellent, and pleasingly younger and prettier than the 
Animals. Maybe not so many famous songs, but a stomping good set performed 
by a group of totally professional musicians.

Oh, you wanted to hear about Edith and Orly, did you? Well, they're looking 
happy and healthy and relaxed. Edith is delighted to escape her verandah and 
be back in Cumbria for a wee bit. We hope to catch up with them again before 
they go home.

Any more sightings - please post them here!

Hey, well, I'm glad at least you are interested. Everyone else is either

Yep, having a life.

I would love to see the Hot Club of Cowtown at some point. Anyone know if
they are doing any gigs over here?

Mr P would have been very interested, but isn't able to be there.  The 
group was the musical "cradle" of some the finest rock guitarists in the 
world. Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck & Eric Clapton are the closest thing to 
gods that he recognises. Glad to hear that the present day Yardbirds 
continue the tradition.

Joseph? If you need any wool to finish the project KH has got loads in the 
loft....

You think that's bad? When my dog Ghyll was a pup he chewed my favourite 
pair of shades. I still haven't quite forgiven him for that one...

Joseph? Who he? Your grandchild?

I've actually got plenty of odd wool myself, still, and occasionally I take 
a mad turn and try to crochet something. (I'm no good at knitting.) Crochet 
is interesting as you can create something 3 dimensional as you go along, 
stitch by stitch, rather than slavishly following somebody else's pattern. 
Perhaps when I get old and creaky and my bones are too worn out to lift a 
sax or a guitar any more, I may take up eccentric 3D crochet more seriously. 
I could crochet a sax, maybe. I've seen a crochetted milk jug, actually, 
made from very fine crochet thread rather than wool.

No, we didn't try putting milk in it. Think we're daft or something?

Joseph...he was Jacob's fav'rite son
Of all his children Joseph was the special one
And so he made his son a coat, a multi-coloured coat to wear....

Joseph's coat was elegant, the cut was fine...
The tasteful style was the ultimate in good design...

I'm surprised, you being so musical,  that you have escaped a school 
performance of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat! I'm beyond 
the second generation. I took part in it at about 15, saw my daughter 
take part in it at about 13, assisted in staging it at about the same 
time, and saw my son take part in selections from it about 4 years ago.

It was red and yellow and green and brown
And scarlet and black and ocher and peach
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve
And cream and crimson and silver and rose
And azure and lemon and russet and grey
And purple and white and pink and orange
And red and yellow and green and brown
Scarlet and black and ochre and peach
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve
And cream and crimson and silver and rose
And azure and lemon and russet and grey
And purple and white and pink and orange
And bluuuuuuuuue.

Ah. Right. THAT Joseph.

Considering I went through my son's childhood learning most of the lyrics to 
most of the songs in most of Andrew Lloyd Webber's opus, I am appalled that 
I didn't realise right away. Maybe I've just blanked it all out. I've seen 
most of them on stage too - let's see - Joseph (yes - more than once); 
Cats - of course (as a TS Elliot fan this was the musical that brought me - 
kicking & screaming - to Lloyd Webber); Phantom - both on stage & the movie; 
Evita - both versions again; Song and Dance - yup; Jesus Christ Superstar - 
movie plus stage version; Starlight Express - just recently when they 
finally brought it to Edinburgh. Um... which one have I forgotten? Oh yes, I 
even saw his Requiem performed live in the Usher Hall.

Not so keen on his later work, though a friend has recently introduced me to 
Sunset Boulevard which seems to have better songs in it than I expected, so 
I may have to get a recording and listen to the whole thing.

I've never been involved in any school versions of Joseph, though, strangely 
enough. Goodness knows how I managed to miss that!
