About Me

I remember everything that's ever happened, well..., except_______.
I played, what's been described as "a severe stand up bass," with the Reverend Doctor Field Marshall Fred Lane from 1973-ish to....., my contract expires December 31, 2023.
Also played with the uncountable, Ron 'Pate's Debonairs until the wheelchairs began breaking our unique little pink and blue glittered bandstands.
Other groups include The Blue Denim Deals Without The Arms,
Trans Museq (1974 - 1978),
and The Captains Of Industry.

Sport (the odd boy)

The odd boy lay down by the football field Took out a slim volume of Mallarme. The centre-forward called him an imbecile. It's an odd boy who doesn't like sport. Sport, Sport, masculine sport...
