"It's the Way I Tell 'Em"

A fairly quiet night at the Hop Leaf, matched by a fairly unattentive audience. I thought my introduction referring to the Rolling Stones' gig being all over the news on Monday morning and Bryan Ferry being asked in interview if he liked the 'Stones may have got a laugh (Jagger ran off with Ferry's fiance, model Jerry Hall) - I thought I was at least going for the right age demographic! No matter, I just got on with it. Perhaps it's because I still can't hear properly in my right ear but I thought I sounded alright actually, though it might also be the new strings (I really ought to change them more than once every five years).
