 Comment on the audience in a review of a recent Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets gig: "Many old couples of the retired geography teacher variety, lots of black T-shirts on fat bellies..."
It all comes down to this: One moment you are a Flower Child chilling to Pink Floyd at the UFO Club during the Summer of Love – the next thing, you've turned into an uncool retired teacher with a big belly! Carpe Diem! Where does the time go...

 Out birding with Jane Christian (Mrs C) yesterday on Buckenham Marshes. Total raptor count: 3 x Common Buzzards - 2 x Hobbies - 1 x Marsh Harrier - 1 x Red Kite. And also a solitary Black Swan. (Oh no! Not a Black Swan Event – Google it.) The building is an old Norfolk Broads drainage wind-pump.
This is the one-hour long omnibus edition that also streams online.
 This week's Featured Artists are Fleetwood Mac and I'll also be playing tracks from the new Paul McCartney album Egypt Station. Any requests, just message me.

These four photos are by the writer (and Grievous Angel contributor) Gary Every who says "I have been photographing graffiti for many years with a special subset of Native American graffiti. The photos are mine but the graffiti is done by a guy named Chip Thomas. He is a black guy who has been serving the Navajo as a doctor for decades but began a project to reclaim abandoned buildings by wallpapering his photos of cultural pride atop the rural decay. He goes by the name of Jetsonorama." The Navajo Nation’s reservation overlaps Arizona and New Mexico. These photos were taken at Lake Powell and Wupatki.     |
