Hola Chresti.
Avatar 🚂 Swag For Life Member 12:35pm
Handy Haversack:

Hubig, yeah, the very self-serious side of folk music. I once rescued Dougie MacLean when he was trapped at a table with the shushers after a show. Well, we bought each other drinks and enthused at each other for a while. It was my last night waiting tables at the brew pub before leaving grad school, and I'd had to miss his show to do it, so I was blown right the hell away when he walked in the door.

TDK. Oh ha ha! I've seen that, too, and it's not a pretty sight. I'm surprised you made it out alive actually. My friend Maf is from Dorset, and they wade into the fight at the slightest opportunity, too. My line is always 'I'd better sample another before I could possibly make any kind of informed judgement'...
Avatar 12:51pm

David, I was in a St. Just cafe; a waitress explained it as she served my Cornish cream tea. When finished she said: "Oh, but you're American, you can just cut it in half and make a sandwich."

Handy Haversack:

The Dougie MacLean incident was also in a college town. Only so many places to go! And the brewpub where I worked had an Irish-ish trad session every week, so I guess it was a natural spot for the folk folx to bring him.
Avatar 🚂 1:01pm
Carmichael:

They were a jovial bunch, Simon Nicol, Chris French and Ric Sanders. Peggy wasn't there, so naturally they told lots of stories about him. They were surprised at how many times I have seen RT (about 20), and out came the stories about him. I told Nicol I own a copy of the Old Grey Whistle Test show with him playing with RT, and he replied, "So that's it, embarrass the band, eh?"

doctorjazz:

Carmichael-as one who's seen RT as many times as you have, that story makes quite jealousi did get to interview RT with a friend who wrote for Guitar World at a festival in Spain, b something like Masters of Guitar. He was very nice to speak to (a much more formal situation than a meeting in a pub). I managed to put my foot in my mouth by asking him if he could play Rockin' in Rhythm solo (which he recorded on his Strict Tempo album, but with parts overdubbed, which I should have realized from listening to it). He was embarrassed, said it was overdubbed, and I realized I had erred. But he was gracious about it all.

ngh, will you get all the back-dated payments? Kate did once her claim was finally approved, which I think might have taken even longer.

It could also work as a T-shirt, come to think of it.
Avatar 🚂 Swag For Life Member 2:42pm
Handy Haversack:

I can see the T-shirt, definitely.

I also can picyture an allusion to the gatefold of ZZ Top's Tres Hombres but with foods from all the Random Road regions. But that might be a little excessive. Even by my cheese standards, which start pretty excessive.
