Hiya Mick, I checked out Office Dance. I liked it. Has a Beck sound to me and I dig that. Thanks for directing it to me. I am glad you bumped DESK up as I really enjoyed reading it.

Hello Mick - I too had a family member - a maternal uncle - who was killed in action in August 1916. Family research turned up stuff I never heard from my mother who was of a generation which kept its cards close to its chest when it came to what was talked about. My late father also served and survived through 1917-1918...and was in uniform again for WW2. To have endured and witnessed so much grief and suffering in a single lifetime is almost beyond my own comprehension.

Hi Mick, thanx for comment, hope you can make Tyldesley gig, be great to meet you, cheers Jeff

Mick many thanks for the comment on 'I've cried enough over you'
Yes must record it again one day... It was late in the evening and couldn't muster much more than that!
