I remember when I used to go an...I agree, Martyn. <br /><br />I remember when I used to go and stay with my really good friend Hugh Williams (god rest his soul) in London (Kensington of all places!) and we could never really work out where to go for the evening. One night we went to the flicks to see "Nashville" and on another we went to the Albert Hall to see the Alan Stivell band with Dave Swarbrick and (the very wonderful) Dan Ar Bras. Nights to remember, sure.<br /><br />However, the Tower of London holds a particular memory for me. My good school friend (at the time) Brian and I wrote a few songs and had decided we were going to busk at the Tower of London.<br /><br />I remember we did "Willie and the Hand Jive" a la Clapton but the others were self-written. Songs like "Banging My Head On The Wall" and "Staring At The Barmaid's Breasts" didn't seem to go down too well. Then a strange bloke with a barrel organ and a malevolent monkey* turned up - we had "nicked their pitch" or something . . . anyway, I'm sure you can fill in the details yourself . . .<br /><br />I still get the shivers every time I pass it.<br />(* in full fez and waistcoat)Dave Leekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17971308602082668644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339839143636242387.post-86133610672199338402012-10-14T20:43:59.614+01:002012-10-14T20:43:59.614+01:00You're a Capricorn, I can tell ...
