30/12/21 - Adieu, then, 2021. It was a good year for me, from early March to September we worked up the songs I’d written during the previous year’s lockdown and September through to early December we recorded said songs with Al Franklinos at Shrunken Heads - the album will appear next year and we’re currently rehearsing a live set (it’s been over two years since the last gig!). Cultural highlights for me have included the sublime Get Back, with special mentions for Nomadland and The Power of the Dog and the two volumes of Joni’s archive stuff to be released so far; the lowlights would include the mighty Charlie Watts’s passing.
Here’s to a groovy new year for all deserving one.
25/12/21 - Merry Christmas everyone! 
26/11/21 - End of week six at Shrunken Heads, one more week and we’ll be done. The mixes are sounding damned fine. Over the weekend I’ll watch Get Back, see if I can scavenge a few atoms of the Fabs’ godlike genius for Al to sprinkle over our final mixes! Will format it and get it mastered for the various media throughout the coming month and then begin the slow climb to release for next year. 2021’s been a good year for me.
08/11/21 - Started mixing the new album at Shrunken Heads today. Some backing-vocals to be recorded later in the week but essentially the parts are all done. Will be released next year and we’ll do some gigs too.
27/09/21 - Still at Shrunken Heads, toiling at another record. Going great guns thus far, Al Franklinos weaving his usual magic. This week will be about bass and drums.
15/08/21 - Here’s a song of Phil Burdett’s that he invited me to sing on a few years ago. He contributed in return a scorching vocal to my G-Flat Gumbo from the current Songdog record. Phil has a superb new album just out, Tall Tales From A Low County, highly recommended.
https://www.facebook.com/phil.burdett.3/videos/10156968326256320/?t=194
13/07/21 - The last album came out the very week the plague lockdown kicked in, sixteen months ago already. Felt rather like James Joyce did when the outbreak of World War II sunk Finnegans Wake! Anyway, it’s still out there on CD and vinyl for those hipsters with the musical cojones to dare an affair with it. In other news, we begin recording the next one on Sept 13th at Shrunken Heads.28/06/21 - Demos coming around for a second pass, can’t the Fates arrange more hours in a day? Anyway, recording sessions for the next album begin on September 13th at the hallowed Shrunken Heads studio.
24/05/21 - Well, happy 80th birthday Bob! Here's our version of Desolation Row in tribute...

01/07/18 - I’m saddened by the news Roy Carr has died. He was a fine journalist, one of the few to raise his pen in praise of Leonard Cohen’s masterpiece Death of A Ladies’ Man I seem to remember, and the author over the years of so many good things. He was also very supportive of my own small efforts. So another good one gone. Long live Roy. (Lyndon)
