Super! I like that cover a lot. If it becomes available online, I’ll buy a physical copy. And get it signed by you if we ever meet.
I’ll email you – you get a copy of this one too.
Overwhelmed, seriously! Thanks!
Check your emails.
Non sequitur, but “London Calling” is playing right now at home.
One of the best!
Congratulations, John! Eek! I am so very excited to get my copy! This is totally fab news!
In the post very soon!
Eek!!! Will stop reading Kieth Richards’ book when yours gets here!
It’s a really great bunch of tales, however, it can be overwhelming at times. To think that he lived through all that… Whew!
The thought of my book usurping the mighty Keith Richards is amazing!
You wrote a book?
Did I?
OK, seriously…….congratulations, John – I know what a labour of love this has been, and I look forward to seeing a copy in the flesh in a couple of days.
Given what passes for my profession, I know what a daunting task it is to make this happen. Well done indeed.
Thanks Dood. It’s good to see that labour made real. See you on Tuesday.
Possibly the longest pregnancy in history ….but very much looking forward to reading this- will have to find a nice beach to lie on in March!
I hope you took out the bit about that bloke talking through Point Blank?
No, it’s still there! But Dood’s presence is now acknowledged.
just went on Amazon to check out the book. Very clever cookie technology. It said buyers of this product also bought a rope and a stool.
Que? Couldn’t be on Amazon yet.
John, many thanks for the acknowledgment. But we’re meeting on Wednesday 2nd, not Tuesday 1st?
Talking of Point Blank – or talking through Point Blank – I also hope you mentioned the double doze axis at Nils Frahm? A great recent memory.
P.S. You’re not on Amazon. Yorkie wind-up.
Yes, Wednesday! Nils Frahm gets a mention late on, but think I must have written it before the double doze.
