Those statue photos you took are still fascinating.

Paul in NoVA said...: Thanks for that song - fantastic.

I knew my comment made no sense given the cool photos of Ellis Island but since my picture on Blogger is Shane I had to comment (should have said image to the right).

Between The Pogues, Big Audio Dynamite, and Style Council, British Punk bands like The Clash and The Jam have a lot of great music as their legacy.

Did you ever see any of them in London in your Lloyds' days?; 21 March, 2013 15:47
