One of the saddest moments in my life.

Thankfully we soon had TSC.

I don't think Coondog was his given name, was it? Nobody splashed water on his brow and said 'I name thee Coondog Parsons', did they?

In much the same way anybody called Les is diminished by being called "Less".

Undoubtedly Sir C will correct this to "fewer"

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

What say you to Emmylou Harris?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

She could hold a tune, as well.

Have you heard any of her stuff with The Hot Band? Terrible name for a band, but some lovely stuff.
