The Ghost of Electricity: War Stories by Jon McLeary # 201 Tora Tora Tora 2018

The big highlights were all musical ones for me this year. We played first up in the late afternoon sun. Tim and I had travelled over together, talking old times and catching up. We have all this history. He had been the drummer that replaced Caroline in the earliest days of the band and then […]
