Still not much to write about but I thought I should have a go any way.
When I was last in Germany, with 4 Sqn in the 70s I used to listen to a bloke called
Harvey Andrews. I bought his LP “Writer of Songs” and wore it down wafer thin because
I played it so often. I later brought 2 other LP,s “Friends of mine” and “Fantasies from
a corner seat “. My Record player broke years ago so I hadn’t heard the songs for a while.
My son and my Daughter got me CD’s of the first two (“fantasies from a corner seat”
is out of print). I started to listen to them again and became hooked all over again.
Just out of curiosity I typed his name into google and found he was alive and well and
still performing. The upshot was that I brought 5 CD’s that I had not heard. The magic was
still there. The songs can make you laugh, put a tear in your eye and make you think about
life in all its vagaries.
You may not have heard of Harvey Andrews because he is not mainstream Pop music
but a lot of you will be familiar with his song “Soldier”.
Harvey’s web site has some samples of his newer stuff as well as the old
so if you want to check it out his site is at modernprojects.com/Harvey/
It’s well worth a look.
Harvey is appearing at Chatham on the 22nd of April.
Looking out of my window at the moment it is raining and the wind and cold
make it feel a bit depressing. It makes me wonder what ever happened to global
warming. I supose the good weather went with the credit crunch. ( I blame the bankers for everything)
Just had my 65th birthday (2 weeks ago) so now I can realy get down to being a grumpy old man.
TTFN
