He is the only man alive to still have friends called matilda! He seemed to pretend to be avant garde tramp and then went out to become one. I do like his songs but they can be a bit "rich" all at once. Lastly I can never entirely trust a jazzer.BLTPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06564846497205095201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36826061.post-72343362077850722842007-11-07T22:39:00.000+00:002007-11-07T22:39:00.000+00:00Could it not have been that four 'points' of the b...Could it not have been that four 'points' of the black stuff in, you were fondly reminiscing about The Ghost Of Electricity's recent TW post, and on arriving back at Landcroft Towers(wobbly key in the door, SHHH! don't wake the missus or the kids, make some toast maybe, where's that CHEESE?)you put some Tom on and thought -'FECK it - I need to post summa that on me blog tomorra (SNORE)'?davyhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09704293846638226252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36826061.post-87809343637266805212007-11-07T22:21:00.000+00:002007-11-07T22:21:00.000+00:00Rob, Great track.

Obviously you will have to go out a lot more!<BR/><BR/>Quick question though re TW: has there ever been an musician as critically revered as he? One that music critics seem to unquestionly (is that a word?) praise as the real deal. While I have happily bought everything he released, it seems more and more to me that he is a one (or two) trick pony.
