The hoot was on hearing the backing for a new track entitled
ITS THAT TIME OF MY LIFE - AGAIN At the time I thought it was a hoot but no
longer know why I thought that
It may soon get an airing on Bandcamp or somewhere else
The codswallop was on reading a review of the re-issues of
PAST LOVES and RUN THROUGH SIDE
A This was by someone who had omitted to read the text on the digi sleeves and
was also making inaccurate assumptions about why I had even considered
re-issuing these particularly small albums
Believe me, had he just said they were rubbish and he did
not like them I might have wept but it would have been for a few brief moments
and I might have had something more interesting to say in this post
Now I can admit to having wondered myself for a while about their
release But there were reasons - the main one being the intention to present
something of the range of my recordings
And these two examples were meant to make a contribution
It may well have been misguided but, as I discovered on
reading the reviews of the book BALANCING THE REQUEST TO BE GOOD they often
tell you more about the reviewer than the book And on reading this guy's review
(and believe me I think only a man could have written it) the word which best
suited the occasion was codswallop
I do not as yet have an image to go with this text but hope
one will make an appearance soon
PS I see today that the book BALANCING (worth every penny) can be purchased for tuppence on Amazon at https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1853433241/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me= The postage, alas, is £2.80
