I finished off my bagels yesterday so had to go shopping this morning, I might as well fit in a swim I thought. So when I was in the steam room afterwards I somehow got into a conversation about what a great band Caravan were with an old Scots guy who turned out to be a great fan of Soft Machine and that reminded me of the time I played 'Teeth' at a wedding reception. Never leave the decks unattended when an eighteen year old prog fan is close by.

Laughing i am. Caravan were very good i thought as a young man, as for Soft Machine i got into them when i was a lot older cos i used to listen far too much to Frank i spose. The Scotsman was his name Jim Makay cos he used to call me Mr Hoof why I dont know. It's strange you mentioned swimming cos i had to stop going for a while cos i caught athletes feet from a public pool, the day i caught it was weird cos after i had my dip i got changed and walked out, as soon as i got out of the building my feet swept me along i was running really fast and i couldn't stop until i got home it was like my athletes feet knew where i lived, i will never forget that. Oh yeah do you find wedding receptions really odd i know i do, everyone gets really wasted on booze and then they start jumping around. totally mad.

No idea what the guy's name was but I am now worried that I have been going around Portree singing the vocal bits of 'Nine Feet Underground' out loud without realising it. Wedding receptions are odd things, and increasingly expensive. I seem to have an overabundance of nieces and a nephew who are engaged in an arms race on who can lay on the most lavish and pointless (but not pintless) do. One thing I was reminiscing about was when Caravan got Scottified with the addition of Dougie Boyle and Jim Leverton. If that was not enough they then did a 'For Richard / Nine Feet Underground' mash up:
Ah sorry, looks like YouTube is objecting to me trying to post the vid without posting that fecking Grammarly ad. Look up Caravan For Richard Live and select Bloomsbury Theatre 2003
[second edit] I am talking bowlocks about Caravan getting Scottified, Doug Boyle is from Essex and Jim Leverton from Kent.

Good grief, eric, I'm sixty four - are you trying to give me a heart attack? I like a woman who draws out her lovin' (and doesn't hasten the lovin' by showing her drawers)

If it reaches from Clacton to the Isle of Skye then you might be over applying it but can't say I have noticed any change in my sexual orientation.
I see with a smiling face, but getting back to the song you no doubt are aware that the vocalist is non other than Colin Blunstone, now what i'm trying to say is every time i hear his voice i wish i had been born a gay man, is this normal. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

My youngest brother, the early adopter of punk in the family, and I went to see the Tom Robinson Band at the Gaumont back in their hey day. When they played 'Sing If You Are Glad To Be Gay' I noticed that he was lustily singing along and I turned to him and said 'You're not, are you?' and he replied 'No, but you've got to join in, haven't you?'
So I joined in too even thought it didn't apply me to me but I am selfishly glad neither of us is gay , not because I think there is anything wrong with it but because of all the baggage that comes with it, the bad attitudes that persist (and I know I tread a fine line between laughing at and laughing with at times) and the self doubt. There have been a couple of women in my life that have made me wish I was born gay but I can't fight my heterosexuality.
Anyway, here's a track and apologies for the city it is recorded in. One poster I really miss, who always provided a valid and interesting viewpoint, is Tom...AKA_The_Blue. He's been away for even longer than you were.
