Mike Nesmith, Sandi Toskvig And Me

If you haven't seen Talent - I can recommend it. 

Fun, sweet and warm-hearted. Hooray for director Hannah Currie.

In other news. I love late period Beatles.


Peter Jackson's Get Back is one of the best things I've seen. Too many highlights to mention, although we should pause and give special mention to the Scottish rendition of Two Us ("...on our way back hame..."). John & Paul could give Scotty from Star Trek a run for his money in The Official Who On Earth In Scotland Has That Accent? Awards....


...But I digress. Three cheers for The Beatles and thank you, Peter Jackson. I enjoyed this piece of writing about it.

Farewell, Mike Nesmith. A great singer and a great songwriter. 

...sharing a good laugh in Glasgow...


...as painted by Harry Pye...

I've enjoyed composing some festive music for Sandi Toksvig & Co...


I finally saw this and thought it was great:


I liked the soundtrack. It figures: Gabriel Yared was involved.

Girding my loins for Succession - Season 3. I hear it's not as fan-dabby-dozy as previously. Well I'll be the judge of that.

I'm giving this a go.

Chernobyl Prayer was a great but grim read. I needed a change of tone and the late Alec Guinness is obliging...

And now....from the expensive fountain pen of the man who brought you What Is Stanley Kowalsi's Favourite Belgian Pilsner?...a new joke....

Q: What's Bobby Helms' favourite chocolate filling?

A: "Praline, pra-a-li-ine..."

OK. That's it. Tinkety-tonk, old fruit....
