MySpace a place for friends

In the 70s Bath had one of the best Folk Clubs in the country with a marvellous group of singers but time moves on.

My real love has always been the singer/songwriters and I follow them till I feel they are going off. I am having doubts about Bob Dylan nowadays but have bought his albums for over forty years. Gretchen Peters is a new interest but there are so many.

Storage space for CDs, DVDs and books is so cramped that I buy very little music nowadays. Just those I follow like Dick Gaughan, Kathryn Tickell, Bruce Springsteen , Nanci Griffith etc.

I have the Met Meistersinger and the Zurich Meistersinger, being in love with the opera. I also have Peter Hall's Figaro.

I have an equal number of music DVDs ranging from the Tallis Scholars to the Dixie Chicks.

And every morning I scan around 60 newsgroups on the Internet.

Then I listen to Radio 2 and in the afternoon and evening Radio 3. But every lunchtime I am in the pub (various pubs cos I have many friends).

I also read around half a dozen magazines a week: Scientific, Political, Literary. I have stopped subscribing to Poetry magazines.

I am a Penfriend of Bath Literature Festival.
