Friday night’s gig was excellent – good crowd, great sound guy and the boys were cooking ! We were at the end of the final set and ‘Never Been to Memphis’ was building to a great finale – I hit the penultimate chord and sang ‘But I’ve been down to the Crossroads ….. ‘ at which point a tiny fly which had been circling threateningly dived down my throat as I sang with some difficulty ‘and everybody passed by me…’
The shouts for an encore were lovely and reassuring and I sang ‘Still the Blues’ with an appropriate feeling if a little tentatively! Rock’n’Roll !
