Whoo!!!

I’m all planned up!

Let’s go!

(Whoa, who’s wearing his keen pants…)

Yeah, I wasn’t going to bother with NaNoWriMo this year. I’ve been totally scunnered with my writing and the thought of forcing myself though 50,000 words in a month is less than appealing.

Well I happen to mention this to my wife, the ever lovely Ruthy, and she comes up with the inspirational idea of us working together on something.

Sounds good.

We are both going to write a 50,000 story based on the beginnings of a idea that Ruth had long ago. Her existing work on this will become a joint opening chapter, we’ll write what we need to on our own and we’ll come together once both are finished to write the final chapter between us.

A bold idea, but at least it’s a different one.

Three old guys and their live backing band.

Two hours of music chosen from a career spanning 40 years.

Different Class.

During the first half of the gig they rattled through plenty of quality tunes including my mum’s favoutite (for she was there with me), “Never Comes The Day”.

After the half time beer break they dove straight in to a selection of my favourite Moody tunes: Forever Autumn, Higher and Higher, I’m Just a Singer (In a Rock And Roll Band), Question and, of course, Nights In White Satin.

The Moody Blues are, without a doubt, one of the finest bands still playing today.

Messers Hayward, Lodge and Edge are three of the best musicians I have ever had the pleasure to see live and it’s great to know that after all these years that they’re still doing what they’re good at.

And before I forget, during the intermission I got talking to an American guy who had come over from the States for the day JUST for the concert. If that isn’t dedication, I don’t know what is.
