I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

And so, life continues apace. Things are going really rather well at the moment, and I am having rather a nice day. The ever lovely Jess H is sat at the corner PC in my study and has just reminded me that it is my adopted nephew Max's birthday. As Max is a massive proghead (even at 22) and extols the virtues of Tarkus as a way of attracting young ladies, and has also just won a place on a PhD programme studying beetle conservation, he deserves to be here on today's blogs...

The London Acoustic Guitar Show, which features an appearance from our very own Gordon Giltrap is imminent. Read all about it my dears.

As most readers of this blog will probably be aware, I am a Fortean, and I spend most of my time chasing up vague rumours, and half-understood whispers. I have been following events in the Yes camp with great interest for some years, but even I was not prepared for this...

RICK WAKEMAN: THE GREATEST CAPE
Do I look like the sort of person who steals articles from The Sunday Express? Well, not usually, but when there is an article by Rick Wakeman himself, and especially an article with a contraceptive joke in it, I really couldn't resist. Right on Rick!

Another visit to the universe of Thom the World Poet..

I want to introduce you to the jolly nice people at Enabler Publications who are doing a sterling job issuing books (amongst other things) on the free festival and 'traveller' culture of Britain, which has largely disappeared in the past twenty years. Alan Dearling sent me a copy of their new book, Travelling Daze which tells the story of the Free Festival and Traveller movement from then until now.

I have absolutely no idea what happened yesterday. I scheduled the daily poem from Thom, and then somehow - without realising it - managed to delete it. The first time that I realised it was just as I was going to bed, when I received an email from dear Thom, reading 'wot no poem?' So here - in addition to the normal daily poem - is an extra video for you all, to say a big sorry.

This morning, I received an MP3 of Michael's Spanish Language version of Little Latin Lover - and was overwhelmed. It has always been one of my favourite tracks from the Carnaby Street album, but hearing it in a totally different language, especially a language that I vaguely understand was an extraordinary experience, and brought a whole new dimension to the song.

The Gonzo Daily is a two way process. If you have any news or want to write for us, please contact me at jon@eclipse.co.uk. If you are an artist and want to showcase your work, or even just say hello please write to me at gonzo@cfz.org.uk. Please copy, paste and spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible. We need people to read us in order to grow, and as soon as it is viable we shall be invading more traditional magaziney areas. Join in the fun, spread the word, and maybe if we all chant loud enough we CAN stop it raining. See you tomorrow...
