Mine’s a home-made sloe vodka. Anyone care to join me? I propose a toast. To Jake, and to all of us who have made it through the year. Cheers!
It did happen. Everybody’s knackered! Me, I loved it. Haven’t giggled and sang so much in an age. Thank you, Tessa and Malcolm for getting it together, and everyone who made it. It was really nice to see you all 😆
Ok, I’m going to weigh in here, finally, now that I’ve recovered my composure a bit. Hello everybody. This is my first post.
I couldn’t possibly be happier with my new DVD. I still can’t stop watching it. Thank you so much to those who made it possible. It made me a strange combination of happy, sad and angry all at the same time. So, so happy to see more of him. I actually feel like I saw him live now. So artful and yet so artless!So sad they’re so long gone – Jake and Alan both, I mean – their performances are so full of energy and life. It’s hard not to be struck by the counterpoint.
And I’ve spent the last couple of years since my Damascene moment – a casual forwarding to me by my chap, of the Innes On Again clip – unable to believe that I’d spent my whole life never having heard of this man. I was hooked at that first encounter, and have not stopped listening to, watching and loving his work ever since.
I proselytise on his behalf at every opportunity! Seriously. Ask anyone. I do try not to rant and rave but I am still in shock that he seems to have been almost airbrushed from history.But I know that on here, I am preaching to the choir. Thanks again for all your work. My best wishes to those who know. Jake sans pareil.
