The whole kaboodle appeared in a dream after a glass of Absenta Tunel and a most disturbed night's sleep. Honestly.

"...up-ending the cutlery drawer on to a granite-cold bare foot first thing in the morning."
Fading like a Daguerreotype image of halcyon days, sun-etched on an afternuncheon tea tray, imaginary Regis-on-Sea raises rusting wrought-iron defiance to the march of time and tide. In this delightful Thoughtshire resort, "Kiss-me-Quick" hats serve more as a denture warning than an enticement, similarly a "Seventies Revival" means mouth-to-mouth or even defibrillator training. Everything in eyeshot is painted with blue and white stripes.
On the Grande Promenade, rows of rot-tooth beach huts, some white, some yellow, others burned a cokey-ochre (okey-cokey, in-out, in-out, shake it all a bumblebee) offer shade and solace from the grinning grockles. Nearby, envious deckchair attendants warm their hands over lightbulbs purloined from the oxymoronic "Fun Fair". There is scarcely a dull moment.....
Hello Mr Lud, just wanted to say how wonderful it is to step into your mad fucking world. It has certainly livened up this otherwise bleak Tuesday. Vegetable Man, where are you dear?
It's been a long time between drinks and I was most pleased to be able to come and listen to The Wireless. Have some of your other songs been remixed or are my new headphones divining hitherto unheard moments musicale? Please advise by return comment how an antipodean may obtain an electrical transcription on disc of your refreshing melodies
I'm not a very good myspace user I believe. I haven't scrolled down far enough for a while to see your comment. I did now when I posted the video of The Svenska Boys playing the Pling Plong Song.
But yes. The Ukulele Cabaret is a great place and the festival at Hollesley was absolutely fabulous.
Hi Lobby Lud! We said hello at the Ukulele Cabaret in London this summer. I thought perhaps you'd like this video of a band I'm playing in. (It was actually formed in Hollesley just a few days after we met). It's featuringa ukuleles (very many) and tuba (I'm the tuba player)
A cure for the 21st Century! Purest poetry, Sir! Ta very much for visiting my humble and woebegone page. I am smitten with virtually everything about yours, Sir! Thank you so much for providing inspiration and respite from the doldrums of conventional norms afflicting my waking hours. May you receive this note, blessed beyond measure and mesmerized by a vast and particular levity!
Sir, Greatly appreciate inclusion into your swaree of chums. Also enjoyed your great display of yazoo skills. If your ever this far north, please look me up. We have imported some tea, but the cricket is a bit thin on the ground. Locals haven't really moved much past throwing tree's and other heavy objects into the air. TTFN.
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
