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"



I got home from work and found that woman had left...

"MY DOG and ME"
