Noticed this influential Harp player passed away aged 79. He taught me to play harmonica through his 1965 book (pictured).

When we were Roundheads
When we have up music and started a family we joined the local Roundness regiment Devereux's and got involved in English Civil war reenactment. A lot of our friends from that time are still doing it.

3d printed tanks
I like to keep an war to the ground in 1940 war games and one thing that is revolutionizing the hippy is 3d printed models. I don't know much about the process but scale is not a problem as once rendered they can be easily increased or reduced in size. https://www.otpterrain.com/collections/tanks-artillery?page=3

Animals & Men - Bath 1979
40 years ago - our first headline gig at Newton Park college Bath. Supported by the Bad Detectives who are also pictured. Got the gig as my sister was social secretary for the Students Union. Very few people attended. Mostly from Frome to see the support band. In the run up to the gig my sister got a phone call from the Psychedelic Furs wanting a gig and she said 'never heard of you'. She has no memory of this I have to add but we would have been happy supporting them. Geoff's Dad drove us out.

I was a teenage Bad Detective - a playlist
Made this Playlist of all the songs I remember us playing in the mid 70s. Bound to have forgotten some.
