Twas on the Old Calcutta in 1853
Actually for me it was the MacKenzie in 1973 but 1853 was when the Recycle and Reuse led a rag tag fleet up the Newerwaussie River to deal with yet another nest of Pirates.
Time for something different. Game in a day or 3.

Look forward to seeing the game, the picture looks great. Al stewart can't be beaten I say.
ReplyDeleteAlan
But he can be played.
DeleteRoss Mac,
ReplyDeleteThe photograph has wet my appetite to see how things turn out. I hope that I don't have to wait too long!
All the best,
Bob
PS. I actually did the lighting for an Al Stewart concert at college back in eighteen hundred and frozen stiff (it was actually 1972!).
Only saw him once, 76 or maybe 77 in Montreal.
DeleteI agree with the other, great photo! Looks like the setting for a fun game. I love your little ships and boats and balloons and all.
ReplyDeleteThey are the excuse for the game. Something a liitle light hearted and adventure-some I hope.
DeleteThat's a brilliant photo, Ross. I love the balloons. Looking forward to more.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine Al Stewart succeeding in music today. He was of a certain era in folk. Our age is far too dumbed down, I fear.
There are certainly songwriters of his quality about still but perhaps not many accompanied by commercial success. Mind you I refer you back to Horse Soldier by Corb Lund
DeleteGreat picture! Love the balloons and steam boats.
ReplyDeleteThanks. A friend made the balloons. Sometimes its good to have a break from strict reality.
