Those we have lost this year . . . . . . . . 2022

                                            
Betty White





There’s no Hogwarts with you Hagrid!

Enjoy Yourself! - The Specials live in Japan



People asked for Chris’ grid for who’s who so here ya go . . . . . sadly . . . . . too many . . . . . . . . . . 

but maybe always remember what Ian Dury said

“I Will Buy You Scarlet Ribbons
 . . . . . . . . .. Bernard Cribbins!


we also lost Hinterwald (Major Gruber to his friends) and the guys at HQ: Silent Way and the boys heard from Manon, Hardy’s daughter that he had passed away. Blogger without equal a virtual friend and we shared a peculiar sense of humour and much musical taste. 

He posted the Eno and Roger Eno concert in Greece and I dedicate this to him and his memory here

Aww thanks Scottish Folkie! Too true I’m afraid and now Maxi from Faithless and lovely Terry Hall too! Too too sad . . . . . .



Glad you liked the tracks and I was only sorry I didn’t post anything new but loved those tracks especially!

You are always welcome here SF!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU TOO

Hope you have a great Hogmanay!


(P.S. I once spent Hogmanay on a Kent airfield with Haggis, Kneeps and Tatties and pipers the full works and lots of ex-pat Scots folk . . . . its a long story but one of the best New Years I ever spent!!!)
