Hi you Brummie chums
Do you remember all those years of over expectation then getting that weekly disappointment as Villa lost in the last minute? I thought that, my being a fan was a punishment from a greater force, for the bad things I must have done in the past. Well I dont want to put the kibosh on their present form but it's amazing to see this performance level. UTV!!!!

Blog Comments.
Thanks for the comments on the last blog about a guitars connection to ex King Bees guitarist Geoff Brown. I must apologise to someone who left a nice comment, he had been at school with Geoff I think?, and hasn't seen it published. I was reading it and in only what can be described as a Senior Moment and almost as an involuntary action, I pressed Delete! I'm extremely sorry because once you press the 'D' button you can't get it back but do feel free to contact me anew my friend. I'm sure that Geoff and the blog readers would be appreciative of your comments.
THE SWINGING 60's GENERATION'S REBIRTH.
What was it that made the 60's Swing? It was Sex...the "Pill" arrived in 1961 the girls were now freed from the danger of pregnancy and like Bunnies we humped our way through the decade of free love and psychedelia. That was 60 years ago so what happened to all those young free spirits, they grew up, had a bunch of kids and a mortgage, lived through amazing days, got a pension then got even older and moved into a retirement home where, like their predecessors, they live a less energetic lifestyle playing Crib or Scrabble for the rest of their days. Well those perceptions are being obliterated by the 60's generation.
Long queues of white haired lotharios outside Boots have become common place. Women too, buying it for 'a friend' for Christmas.
Let's say you paid 250 dollars for the recording, another 150 to have some CD copies reproduced for sale. To simply recover that outlay from Streaming on Spotify you would need to register 3140 streams for each 10 dollars or 125,600 plays to get your 400 bucks back less the commission you have to pay the company who has put them on Spotify. You will have bragging rights that your material is available on line but financial rewards will be hard earned. So perhaps you will think again if it is worth it? Nobody said that being a musician is easy and being knocked back is par for the course but on the optimistic side of things, it only takes one self penned song to change your fate forever, so good luck to you all.
