Reply to this I got this next track in the strangest way
Had been to a conference with a barrister and returned to my car and my car was gone...stolen...can't recall how I got home from there.
Police found it days later...empty of petrol...miles away.
When I got to my abandoned car I found my suitcase with my collection of blues tracks I had recorded over the years on cassette tapes had gone...hundreds of memories gone gone gone.
Yet on the backseat was a CD...the car thieves had probably stolen it from Byron Bay as it had a sticker on it...and left it for me.
A little token to thank me for my suitcase of blues!
This is from the CD "I'M A GAMBLER" left on my car backseat by the thieves...special memories...very different from the previous track...introduced me to this guy
"M" is for LITTLE MILTON
"CASINO BLUES"
