Off topic but I wanted to comment. The Rocky Mountaineer is a pretty posh vacation! Sounds like a pretty nice vacay. I haven't travelled up Island at all on Vancouver Island just the Victoria /Sooke areas. Love the west coast. 

It was a great holiday.  Best bit was visiting Salt Spring Island, off Vancouver Island, where they were having a weekend fun and food festival.  Worst bit was the Rocky Mountaineer which was non-smoking.  I got caught twice by attendants leaning out of a carriage window sneaking a cigarette.  They gave me nicotine gum in the end.

On spirits try GIN.  This is a local gig for me with one of South Wales finest - Andy Fairweather-Low, still knocking it out superbly at 69.

Like all good things: peas and carrots; mash and gravy; Torvil and Dean and@grumpyhack and this thread, there is an iconic pair to be had. For where there is GIN, there must be TONIC.

PIANO

Great song and, as the lyrics mention "making love to his tonic and gin" it seems to bring it together.

From space(d) to HAPPY

No real live footage (though there is a little mobile footage from their latest tour) as track is new, but an excuse to post this; lead singer is ace (and has a full on life story behind him).

Seeing ‘em this Thursday in Brizol, cannot wait!

STRONG

Another Grumpy Gonner who gave his last performance in Cardiff.

STEEL

A hark back to a much younger Billy Joel and a song about closing all the steelworks down with the industrial rundown of Allentown.

 

And a second song from the same concert.  A superb take on the fear of soldiers fighting in the Vietnam War.
