The Game, 50 Cent - Hate It Or Love It (Official Music Video) 2006

Bayeux book

 I got a couple of books from our favourite charity shop. One was an Eric Clapton autobiography and this one on the Bayeux tapestry. Funnily enough I already have a book on the subject but this is more in-depth. I saw it as a youth on a school trip to Normandy. I intend to only read some of the Clapton book. Life is too short to read about his later life. 


Larry Williams Marie, Marie 1957

 Another one Steve Stack played. It's a lovely rocker that went unreleased until the 90s.

 Steve Stack o' wax played this yesterday.
