I have booked the following four tickets.

May 28th Southampton

29th Weston-super-Mare

30th London

31st Meet and Greet

That’s what I have so far, still thinking about lodging, car vs. train, etc.

If you’re going from London to Southampton, it looks like the M3 goes right past Winchester Cathedral. I remember that song from 1966. I just listened to it again.

On the other side of Southampton is Peppa Pig World! My grand nephew used to love Peppa Pig. I’m not sure I want to stop there, but it made me laugh. I’ll have to tell him about it.

Bud,

The Blakehay Theatre where the show is at looks about 4 blocks from the beach.

Here’s a piece that says you can do Weston-super-Mare without a car.

The article below says they advise against swimming there, since it has the second largest tides in the world. In the spring it can be 15m, which is almost 50 feet. It goes out about a…

I also noticed that Windsor Castle is not too far off the trip back to London too.

There have been…

Bud,

I remember them saying that while they don’t usually write songs quickly, this one they did.

Another brilliant song. Another protest song, but it’s also got the charm and smiling hopefulness and cheer that they have mastered so well. When you think about what Mona and Lisa have done, when people look at their careers, and when history…

I’m hopeful as well, Bud, but I’m also reminded of what I told my family.

The hard work hasn’t started yet.

In spite of what happened this week, I’ve been thinking this song may be prophetic as well. We have certainly gone back and forth for many years.

So you’re saying my plan worked. Cool.

Bud,

When I started this thread, it was about the “Why?” album. Lol.

My timing was dangerous though. I admit it.

Since someone brought up the American elections yesterday (lol), maybe I’ll mention something I’ve been thinking about for a long time.

One of the items on the Democrat to-do list is to reinstill some competition into industries. Currently we have an oligopoly, with only a couple players in each industry – including just 3 companies, UMG, Sony…

It looks like tapping to me too, so I looked it up. What I found says it’s tapping, but some models can be plucked as well.

I remember her talking about Fang. She was funny.
