He's something very special - priceless actually - in being among the most exalted ranks of Rawk Gittarists - but not in a style representing exclusively Blues influence - nor the Classical thing that the Shredders would embrace - but in UK Folk. By itself. Aside from him as Songwriter, Performing Bard &tc. He has value & cred as Folk preservationist - Alt Music idol - all the pistons.

I may have mentioned this last week, but if you have seven minutes to spare check out Drowned Dog, Black Night from the first French Frith Kaiser Thompson album. Maybe he'll mention it if he writes a follow up to Beeswing, which is a great read. I just started the new John Cooper Clarke memoir-I Wanna Be You. Excellent, so far. He would probably make a good guest.

Todd, I don't know how much you read about what to drink and eat after a second shot, but drinking something with electrolytes, as well as a lot of water, works. Suggested foods include brown rice, potatoes, salmon, various fresh whole foods. No spicy foods for a few days. I had my second shot on Weds and followed this. And some some exercise of the arm, too. Everyone reacts differently, I know, but the only after effects I had were a sore arm and minor fatigue.

Felt well enough today to get up at 6 am for my first visit to a record yard sale in a long time!!! Everyone was masked and I bought a bunch of great lps, not paying more than 3 bucks for any one:Hoodoo Gurus, The Move, Wizzard, Ben Vaughn, Bebop Deluxe, Willie Nile, Squeeze and more. There were pricier records that I had my eye on, but most of these titles hit that nostalgic sweet spot that has been growing since the pandemic hit.
