@Just1nHS@PonceDuVin Have just started reading Eastern Promise. The hapless Felix once again squirming at the merciless hands of Paris-Blois…….wonderful stuff😊
@HPIAndyCowper@HPIAndyCowper not as far as I know. New vintage perhaps? Will make sure I take a look myself as this is one of my favourites in the range…..
About once a year I treat myself to watch this video - a version of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” played by a supergroup of rock royalty, all of whom completely upstaged when Prince plays possibly the greatest guitar solo of all time: https://t.co/rsPsLg6M2M
