Something else occurred to me about Williams- he’s always had accusations of plagiarism. The elephant in the room is that or course this comes from the practice of temp tracking. An educated ear can...
I have for sale an older 1950s French made gypsy jazz guitar, with a 14 fret neck There is no brand or model, but based on shape it very obviously is the Modèle 43 from Busato’s workshop. Busato...
Unions were good, we ought to think about having them again.
Thats very much on point. The need to baffle the audience is not working well with that series at all. It was mostly all about suspense and a bit of humor, but nowadays they try to trump every...

The currency in Cork is Euros? Good lord, what are things coming to? But I suppose sterling is seen as imperial British. (Just looked it up, happened in 2020. Ah well)
