Talk about 'live and learn', it's a damn good job we are never too old.
The original plan was to headline this Extra Post with a personal favourite
(from the album Spectral Mornings)
but during the search for the link found this.
Have a listern to this first then visit Steve.
Tiger Moth Tales - The First Lament
Tiger Moth Tales - The First Lament
This band is completely new to us, as is 'front-man Pete Jones,
but strongly recommend a listern to Guide Vocal a Genesis track!
Occasionally these days we encounter a couple who are the latest additions as Readers of the Bagsy Blog as we wander the trail. Tony and Lyn are young and interesting people and of exactly the same generation as myself. At our last meeting we started to discuss Moths with Lyn waxing lyrical about her school days when she would capture 'Tiger Moth' larvae, nurture them to adulthood before releasing them back to the wild. It was her enthusiasm for the subject that struck me most and promised to gather what images are held and publish them on an Extra Post - these are for you Lyn, and of course Tony, and of course the 'thousands' of regulars!
