Loan Me A Dime


Sublime, 40 years on and this has to be way up there on the list of must listen tunes. This should be on everyone’s iPod, tape deck, CD and MP3 player. Thank you RP for the introduction. You all should take a listen to Boz with Duane Allman on lead guitar……

Do you make assumptions?


Every week Richard sets my mind clanking and grinding away in amazement. I can’t even believe my own eyes anymore. Here is his latest.
Thanks Richard

At Long Last – Arctic Medal campaign is won


HMS Scylla

Long over due, the British Government finally see sense. Now we all hope that they and their bureaucrats get their collective digits out and make sure the medals are available while there are still some deserving recipients alive to make all this worthwhile.

It would also be right to award the medals posthumously to those who couldn’t hang around while this country had its governmental knickers in a twist.

So in this sudden period of enlightenment do you suppose there is any chance that this government might also allow the Russians to present the Ushakov medal.

Arctic Medal campaign is won – Defence – Portsmouth News.

This year I had the pleasure of spending time with magician Yann Frisch at the Essential Magic Convention.  Yann is developing a novel approach to sleight of hand, and this is a wonderful clip of him in action.  Enjoy!

Indian sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar dies at 92


RIP Ravi. You opened my eyes, or perhaps I should say ears, to yet another musical treasure and left the world a huge legacy. Your collaborations with so many other musical stars has enriched the musical world. Your offspring, Anoushka and Nora are continuing the work that you started.

We will all miss you.
