Time Away

I know, I Know, I have been neglecting you and for that I appologise.

There has been lots happening with gigs work illness more and more work.

Managed to get to see Magnum in the Inverness Ironworks and it was a fantastic night as usual. The new set featured the full Wings Of Heaven album probably my favourite Magnum album.

Also got to see Thin Lizzy in Aberdeen Music Hall. Although Phil Lynnott (R.i.p) was missing the rest of the band put on a fantastic show with all my favourite songs.

Down points of the Thin Lizzy gig were that Tommy Aldridges Drum solo is still the same one thats on the Ozzy Osbourne "Tribute" album with he would do something a little different still it gives me exactally 5 mins to go to the bar for a pint. To Elaines amusement as I strolled back beside her to the opening chords of the next song.

Let me explain..... A few years ago I had a little bet with Andy Gallagher that during Tommy's drum solo I could go down to the bar get a drink and be back in my seat for the opening chords of the next song.

Tommy was at that time playing in Whitesnake and we were at The Monsters of Rock tour in the Glasgow SECC.

I wandered down the steps, we were sitting in the top rows at the back of the SECC, then I wandered round the corner to the bar ordered 4 pints 2 for me and one for Andy and his friend who was there too.

I downed one of the Beers then wandered up the the stairs again and sat down to the opening chords of "Fool For Your Loving"

Having told Elaine this on the bus on the way to see Thin lizzy it amused her as I walked back in from the bar to the opening chords to Emerald.
