For a while now I've been sending the odd email to the list and been a bit confused when they haven't appeared. I realised last night that it's because Google updated my email address which isn't the one I originally subscribed with. Oops! Still been getting the digests though. Anyway, this is what I sent yesterday... - ------------------------- Running Wild sounds like a live rehearsal take, I'd hazzard a guess at it being Chris Spedding (acoustic) and Mick Green (slide) on guitars... Although, the sound is very Dylan-esque (and I don't mean that album, I mean it sounds very Bob Dylan circa 1965 with that Hammond all over it), so maybe it dates from the rehearsals for that tour. Very nice though. - ------------------------- So now you know.

Golly Simon! I was just thinking of you last evening after Richard Evans mentioned the word "anorak". Wonderful to see a post from you again - I've always thought you were one of the coolest RM/BF fans around (despite your very young age!)! God help us all. Ferry is our Siren. And folks like Simon - RM/BF anoraks - are our rocks... now what roll should we next? Thank you, Andrew Shearer, for the cloudy report. Sunny Skies and Happy Thoughts...
