(For Stephanie Kerr.)
You danced for me, although I never asked you too.
I still think that afternoon was extraordinary and made
our friendship what it is today, built on a foundation
of responsibility of thirty years rather than destroyed
in half a minute as I bumbled around,
fumbled, stupid boy like attempt to ask you out and to dance
for a month or two.
You have known suffering, ordeals in which
I can now only offer a long distance shoulder
but one that has always been there and as we were both outsiders

It is hard to really knock The Blues, especially when you discover the lip smacking delights of Sons of the Delta and their latest album Tasty Nuggets.
Mark Cole, Rick Edwards, Martin Fitzgibbon and Lyndon Webb have tapped into something incredible, something in which should be nurtured. A sweeping sensitivity of great highs and joyous tantalising lows, the guitar not just an instrument in which to play with but alongside some rather terrific vocals and brilliantly placed lyrics, becomes as heavenly as an angel that has discovered the delights of a quality beer. The anguish of loving both the sun and the rain in equal measure and straining its ear against the headphones of the person its fallen head over heels in love with.

It seems strange in a way to read a graphic novel that is based on a highly rated television programme that in itself is based upon one of D.C Comics greatest publications and whose central character turned up from time to time in the American programme about Superman’s early life, Smallville. Go back far enough with this idea and the chicken-egg scenario will admit defeat and leave the comedy circuit and go back to the poultry farm to relative ignominy.

There is no business like show business…even when sometimes during a performance, for whatever reason, the tension in the actor’s voices, the verve and command of the piece feels a little flat, there is still nothing quite listening to an audiences reaction before the star of the show says a word and the adulation given at the end of the musical.

When the final curtain is raised or the apocalypse comes, just look for the person who has handed you their hat inside a fast food takeaway and shiver to the very core as they stops serving you, they smile and walk off with nothing more than the destruction of the Human Race in their head. Such is how Utopia will be achieved, not with the burst of an atomic weapon but within the mind of an employee who has just had enough of people asking if they do chocolate milkshakes in the value meal.

Even the most seemingly sophisticated on music lovers have a weakness. They might try to fool you with talk of the hip and fashionable, the chic and stylish and swanky facts of the current trends but they still have a tremendous weakness for something, something that makes them smile despite themselves and if only they would show that smile more often the world might just be a nicer place in which to reside.

The deep belly of the blues always manages to find its way beneath the armour plating many put up to deflect its influence. The placing of that somewhat heroic but ultimately flawed shield is wasted though as quality always finds a pore, a chink in the armour, in which to erode away the feeling of the uncertain and suspicious.

Sunday evenings can be a time of reflection, the chance to catch up on some time alone reading from a stack of books that you keep putting off, or even plunging head first into the afterthought of dish cleaning and ironing whilst one eye is on whatever the television companies believe you can cope with and allowing one side of your brain to doze off in bliss ahead of what passes for another week of toil.
