St Edmunds

[cannon alan]

getting into Bury about half nine in the morning
peelie's on the world service as chance would have it
didn't know whether i was supposed to be there
but yeah i was
only been to Bury a couple of times before
but drunk plenty of Abbot the local brew 
hallowed atmosphere friendly understanding locals
get called sweetheart in the bakers
every word of the service rings out clear and
bittersweet
the part toward the end of a funeral where you feel
lost and don't know what to do until you lead each
other away
take some pictures of the flowers with nathan
someone left cd demo amongst them
drive on out to Gt Finborough
as the sun is going down
forego a pint in the local pub
later watch the news and catch the arafat funeral
we agree that john would be amused at the contrast
in the undertakings on the very same day
the days ends fittingly with some live blues solo
guitar with susi and a couple of pints of Abbot in the
Neptune, Hove
we see a Dalek hiding out in a basement flat
but thats another story
anyway finally back at base in Dorset
sit and watch the uk music hall of fame on C4
dont quite get on with those things
starts promisingly with polyphonic spree doing Sgt.
Pepper but is cringeworthy for a while but takes on
poignancy when it emerges that Chris Blackwell's wife
died last Monday. At the very end there is one line
dedication of the programme to John Peel ; blink and
u'd miss it. Don't know how he stood with U2 but i
know what he thought about Tom Waits.
