45(rpm) today

how did that happen, 45 years crawling, walking, riding and always falling on this humble little planet, a suitably overcast day, caramel waffles and a mug of java for breakfast though so it ain't so bad.

I found this wonderful little clip of Lightning Hopkins via the miracle of youtube, it reminded me of living in Ireland in the early nineties, I had to sell all my blues and jazz albums then to put some food on the table, the good times were killing me for sure.

I'm happy to say no records will be sold today and I will eat heartily at the Mountain Cafe in Aviemore for lunch, the times they have a changed.
