A touching glimpse of a remarkable woman. Sounds like the sabbatical is proceeding nicely.

Such a beautiful post, Tony. Love to Ruth, and have a lovely Easter.

I’ll listen to your version of ‘I’m a Boy’ today. The song was one of my first gateways to The Who too ( as was Meaty Beaty).

I couple of other takeaways for me. I must learn more about music theory. My partner Jane and I plan to learn to play guitar this year, so that will help (as well as helping with mental and physical agility, which is increasingly important for us).

Oh and ... Seagulls 😮 (my father was from Brighton). I have been to Selhurst once, a midweek match decades ago.

Thanks for the Entwistle posts too. I’m just finishing reading the authorised biography - something of an eye opener for me. I didn’t know a couple Who tours were to get him out of a financial hole.

I do remember your Mum coming to pick up Jamming! and being totally impressed that a JP would muck in!

A beautiful, soul-enriching post, Tony. Many blessings to Ruth. Milestone times indeed - and Paula’s first trip to your ‘mother land’! xx
