The latest ...

Hello,
MSB gigged in Yeovil last night. A slendid hostelry called The Quicksilver Mail (mein host Pete Lambden). Ady was in Germany mit Ben Waters so Dan Wheeler of Bridport more than ably deputised in his stead. Like most pubs these days the attendance was not as it once was - a fanfare here for the publicans around Britain who continue to support live music in the face of bitter and austere circumstances - but those who did turn out were most attentive and encouraging. MSB are not a covers band which tends to go against the grain with a lot of punters but Pete's pub gave us the benefit of the doubt and came along for the ride.
The newer numbers are gradually bedding in (Cindy Lou, The Old Dog, The Unforgiving Man) and go down as well as the comparatively familiar older songs. We have enough fresh material in the set now for another album. When the time comes to record it we should know them inside out.
The son of an old, old friend of mine (John Martin - no not that one!)sent me a photo of me in my first ever band the other day. A dewy eyed 14/15 year old cupping a blues harp and looking rather sharp (What happened?). I will try and get it posted sometime soon.
