Oh, cruel words that mock the reader and the writer so.

I wasn’t able to enjoy it live because…well, I was in the pub. But I savoured it today like when you arrive late for dinner but someone has kept a plate for you for reheating. Or something.

I had something relatively coherent to say about the male music fan (and his turning to butter when exposed to the female “voice” in cowboy boots) but tiredness has sent the thoughts scuttling back to the deep recesses of my brain.

Well done on the prize winning too. Only just noticed it now.

Catch your old lady messin’ round with another man, what else can a body do but go down and shoot her?

Suggestions: Sam Amidon ‘All is well’
Anything by Karen Dalton
The Dreden Dolls

Looking forward to reading more posts from you!

Nothing murders it quite so much as being taught a Country & Western (yes, I learned both kinds of music) version.

If memory serves, Henry Mancini (he of the Pink Panther fame) did a nice version as well.

That’s all I have to say for now.

I will agree to do a post on them if they turn out to have their roots in the disturbing and bloody folk rituals of Mediaeval England or of 18th Century Appalachia
