SPLITWhispering

campaign

allegedALLEGATIONS that a " whis-

pering campaign " was be-hind rumours of a break -up be-tween the hit -making partner-ship of Esther and Abi Ofarimwere made this week.

And on Monday. in statement tothe Melody Maker, the duo's manager.Ady Sense!. vehemently denied thecouple might split following reportsthat Esther has been offered a BBC -TVseris without husband Abi.Saeid Ady Sense!. There's ,s abso-lutely no scandal in this. There is noth-ing at all odd about Esther dome aseries on her own. It is only a littlesurprising that the BBC should haresaid anything when nothing has beenfinalised.

HAPPY" Esther has been offered a soloserim on BBC -I. She is also doing herown ' Show of the Week' for BBC -2at the end of this month." But Abi is quite happy about ,r. Itis quite possible for each of rheum towork within their Own framework.Either on TV in films or on recordings.Remember, this will not be thefirst time Esther had been seen on TVin Britain as a solo artist. Some yesesago she represented Switeerland in theEurorision Song Contest. She has also hadat least two solo LPs released.-Adds publicist David Sandison,There seems to be some sort of whis-pering campaign at work. You knowhow it is when any top act becomessuccessful. The rumour -mongers get towork. It happened with the Beatles andthe Rolling Stones. among others.

HURT

" Admittedly, all eyes focus on Estheron the couple's shows. but she reliestremendously on Abi. He arranges themusic and organises the production." People see them together for ashort while on TV. but they forget thehours of work put in beforehand atrehearsals. when Abi plays such a rite!part.Both are very hurt at these tumours.There is absolutely no question of

negotiations areither ITV r the BBC.

TONY WILSON DELVES

INTO THE POP POET'S

FUTURE PLANSAmong Don's activities of

the moment is the prepara-tion of some new albums." I've layed down about 22basic tracks for a new setof albums." he said "whichmeans we've got more thanenough for one album.

" The songs are in threecategories - the three dif-ferent spheres that I writein, jazz, folk and pop. Someof the tracks have a coldquartet jazz sound like theModern Jazz Quartet andothers have a pop poetrytype sound. They began inthe three categories but theyfell into each other.

"But it's hard to getsession time in this town.The first recording wasmade a month ago but wehope next week to completethe recordings and finishsome songs. It may meanthree albums.

"I think we may done

whole album of the differenttypes of songs, people seemto like them like that. Wehave great fun with thesesessions. People keep fallingin and we record them."

Don talked of one of thetracks which has an Indiansetting. " We use a smallIndian harmonium andDanny Thompson does adroning thing on his bassand there are drums, bellsand jangles. It's been re-corded by Mickie Most,who's never recorded any-thing of that sort. It soundslike a field recording in themountains.

" There are also someorchestrations with me sit-ting in the middle. All thesongs are composed on theguitar. On the guitar you'vegot the whole orchestra.

Would Don like to re-cord with old friends fromthe folk world like BertJansch, John Renbourn andRoy Harper? "I'd like tobut the record companiesdon't seem to like it."

Outside of recording Donis also gating a book ofsome of his songs andpoetry together. "1 writedown a few things thatdon't go into songs," saidDon. "I'm making thisbook at the moment al-though we are not in ahurry. It's not going to becommercial. It'll be a nicebig book and I'll be doingsome drawings to illustratesome of the poems. The firstproof is out.

"Then there is a TV idea-either one or three showswith BBC -2 producer Stan-ley Dorfmann. There'd besinging and some otherniceties. The main thing isto do a good televisionshow, not just hang bits ofplastic behind the cameras."

Don envisages a show inwhich the songs are relatedto colours and objects. "want to put some thoughtinto it," he said. "We'llprobably do a spot of film-ing outside but I haven'tsat down and discussedideas with Stan. I want todo things I can do, thingsthat are not any greatchallenge."

SURVEYJazz bandsof Britain

1JAZZ they keep on saying, is something you cannot sell. However that may be, clubscontinue to feature the music and new jazz venues open regularly. Jazz records arereleased in impressive numbers; someone presumably buys them. And new bands appear onthe scene.

So far as traditional jazz is concerned, the business has become relatively tough - un-like the days of the lead boom - but the work is there. Clubs are opening rather thanclosing, and a good band can draw good crowds.But it is probably true to say that audIences are much more choosey than they were inboom times, no longer accepting anything dished up in the sacred name of lead.As Chris Barber put it: "Today they tend to Judge a number on its quality rather than

its style. We find we can get away with playing Charlie Mingus numbers to what used tobe thought of as 'lead' crowds."This week the MELODY

MAKER begins a round -up01 the jazz bands of thiscountry, starting with thosewhich work in a traditionalor middle -road vein. Here isPart One of the Bands OfBritain.

AVONCITIES JAZZ

BAND Geoff Nkh011sOpt/Idrt, Ray Bush (chi.Mike Hitchings Omb), DaveCollett 1.pnot, Bernie Att-ridge (bass), Chris PopeIdrs), Frank Feeney (bjo/gtr) This well-known Bris-tol band was formed in 1949and has been going non-stop since then. Its style isbasically Dixieland - AlexWelsh t y pe music.

It uses a lot of originalcompositions, written byGeoff Nicholls. The Avonsaim at a flexible style withan appeal to all age groups,including the "Jet Set."

Says Geoff Nicholls' "JazzIs no longer a cult. We cango back to the minoritything and we can play any-thing we like as long as itis musical. I think the kindof reception we get now isprobably better than it hasever been. Incidentally,we've three of the originalsstill with us."

Chicagobluesaredying

CHICAGO'S legendary blues scene Isfalling apart at the seams.

That's the opinion of producer MikeVernon of the Blue Horizon label whoreturned to London recently after threeweeks in the city seeking and recordingneglected blues artists.

Mike's time in the city wassuccessful. He recorded a numberilihloyfblues artists for British re-lease and completed dealswhich will result in Ameri-can blues material beingreleased in Europe.

But Mike is also a bluesenthusiast; and from thisaspect, the city disap-pointed and depressed him.

" No-one cares about theblues artists at all," saidMike. "There is no regardfor the musicians or themusic. Nobody has any re-gard for retaining theessence of the artisticmaterial that's still avail-able there.

"On the South Side, thereare a lot of clubs, but they

use blues groups andpay about 20 dollars a nightwhich is nothing. The onlyclub which offers reason-able work to bluesmen isMother Blue's, on the WhiteVorth Side."

PRESERVEBut there was no lack of

blues artists. "There wereplenty of blues singers. guitar-ists and harmonica players,but nowhere for them toplay," said Mike.

He believes that bluesmusic from Chicago will dieout completely very soon." It'salmost dead now. I feel thatit's my duty to record andpreserve these oeople forposterity. I know that if Idon't, no one else will andthy

music will die, undocu-ntmeed and unrecorded."

Chicago as a city, is notblues -orientated. " You don'thear blues wherever you go,or anything like that. One ortwo (People are trying to keepblues alive. But some of therecord comnanies are harm-ing blues by recording artistsdoing soul music which theydon't feel and can't Play andreleasing it on albums whichalso contain blues tracks.

"This doesn't sell and cer-tainly doesn't do the bluesartists any good."

Mike received an enthusi-astic welcome from bluesnienwhen it was known that hewas in town looking for bluestalent to record "The situation became hectic. Therewasn't enough hours in theday to see and talk to everyone who was interested inlaorking for the Blue Horizonbel."

ALAN WALSH

Mike spent three weeks inChicago arranging sessionsand deals,

The albums were bySunnyland Slim (10 track.:and Johnny Shines, a contem-porary of Robert Johnson (10tracks). A single was madeby bluesman Otis Spann.Vernon recorded Simnn sing-ing two tracks which he hopesto release here in August.

He used a blues handformed for the senior inChicago and featuring Sunny -

land Slim (pro, vets); JohnnyShines (gtr, vela); ShakeyHorton (harmonica); WillieDixon (bass) and CliftonJames (drs). "The line-up wasthe same for each album,with either SunnylandJohnny taking the vocals."

Mike paid full union ratesto all the artists who recordedfor him. " The artists were

a d th t h Idfly 4,000 miles to record themalthough a lot of them hadheard of the popularity ofblues in Europe and would liketo tour here.

" I would like to arrangefor an all-star blues packageto tour here later tM year ifpossible and this is an ideawe are working on at themoment"

DEALSIn addition, Mike also spent

some time in New York withrecord executives and hasdeals to release material inBritain by artists like SleepyJohn Estes, Bukka White, JB. Lenoir, Willie Mahon,Memphis Minnie, Titus Turner,Louisiana Red.

He also signed a deal torelease material from Chic-ago's Cobra and Bea & Babylabels in Eurone. These con,panics have artists like EddieBoyd, Otis Rush, Earl Hooker,Little Mac, Magic Sam andShakey Jake on their lists."I've got enough albummaterial to last me at leasta year We have to be noire.live, but most of the

Vernon is alarming to putout the Sunnyland Slim andJohnny Shines albums herewith a record sleeve featuringa map of Chicago's South Sidewhich will be valuable to bluescollectors and enthusiasts.

It's an ironic situation butbecause of the enthusiasm ofVernon and the Blue Horizonlabel much of the bluestalent at present stagnating InChicago will find its way to awider and eager audience.And a lot will find its wayback to the States throughHorizon's links with Enic andand other labels,

THE RETURN OF

POP THINK-INIn a Fleet Street bistro last week modest, self-effacing Don Partridge.

between thumping the table and rolling cigarettes, delivered his humbleopinions on a number of varied subjects. Here are the Thoughts of ChairmanDon,

HIT RECORDS: Recordsthe are smashed and troddeninto the ground. I believe inthem. Could n smash hit hething they break over theirknees in despair.

MARRIAGE: Not a thing tohe taken lightly. A holy re-lationship between two people.Passive violence. A corruption.Babies. Bad cooking. A legittransaction recognised by thelaw. People tend to think ofthe contract more than therelationship, forgetting theirduties after the ceremony. Atax dodge.

RELIGION: A blind, out-of-date belief followed generallyhecause of rts vague prom-ises of immortality. Out ofdate because its been trans-lated so many times. Dishon-est because it is seen throughthe eyes of a few peasants.And I think everyone shouldhave it.

FANS: I think they shouldcome in tablet form so theyare more easily digestible orinjected. I can't object tosomething when I basicallythink they have good taste. I

am my biggest fan along withothers of similar good taste.

NERVES: Well, basicallythey're there 10 warn the bodyof danger and such like. Painwarns the body of danger. I

acknowledge their existenceand am perfectly happy

wto

carry on living together iththem. " We've been togethernow for forty years and Idon't like Screaming LordSutch . ."

STUDENTS: Very few realstudents about, seekers afterknowledge that is. I considermyself a student - I study atthe school of life. But the bestthing a student in an estab-lished institution can do islearn free thinking, that's all.

`Fans should

come in

tablet form'DISC JOCKEYS: I think

they are twerps, most of them.They haven't got the leastidea what they are talkingabout. They talk for the sakeof talking off duty. A neces-sary part of the function ofmodern life.

PUBLICITY: Invaluable tothe egotist and extrovert. Aconstant embarrassment to shy, retiring person like my-self. And the people who suc-cumb to a publicity are - myfans!

CHILDREN: See discJockeys.

BUSKING: A good way torelease tension and earn

money at the name time Goodfor a philosopher and poetand a genius One has to mixwith the common herd toevolve philosophies and idealsA lot of real people do it

OLD AGE: Depends onwhether you mean physicilynr mentally, In the greet rat,'which is life, some of usstriving for the material bene-fits which life can offer, for-get, it seems, the value ofyouth, only content withhoarding for themselves allthe things that they feel canmake them happy and then alltoo soon realise the youthwith which they would havebeen able to enjoy them withhas slipped away like anaspen leaf in forty mile anhour Nor -Easter.

YOUNG GIRLS: " Get outof my life." Generally quitemature until confronted witholder people. They haven'tpet much to look forward toin this man's world.

SWINGING LONDON: Whatactually is Swinging London?I wouldn't say it wee swing-ing. More shuffling. Slidingwould be a better termPigeon-toed London, Snotty -nosed London, DisneylandLondon. Sausage -London

SOHO: Got me guitar kick-ed in there. Many fond mem-°ries. to use the term loosely,of rough diamonds who breakyour rrn as soon as look atyou. Pleasant enough place ityou are tank or an arma-dillo. Not as good as Pigallein Paris or the Red Light Dis-trict in Amsterdam. A placewhere sexually undernourish-ed human pigs go whilst pay-ing fur the pleasure of feelinglike men.

MARTY: A pianist's

job is not to interfereTAIN't what you do-its the way that you do

it," sang the late Thomas Fats Waller. The

phrase is completed by another swinging pianist

and in his youth a great admirer of Fats, MartyNapoleon, who adds: " Providing you really feelit! "

We were chatting about all things jazz -and piano playing in particular in the Leeds

hotel where LouisArmstrong and hisentourage are basedfor their two-weekBatley stint

" I have never believedin categorising jazz intoseparate little compart-ments," said Marty. "Par-ticularly where pianistsare concerned.

"A jazz piano player isnot good in my book if hecan't readily adapt hisplaying, within reason, toalmost any style. He mayhave a personal prefer-ence - but he should notbe strictly confined to justthis style.

"I had been playingmostly with modern jazzoutfits when in 1959 JoeGlazer called me. His firstquestion was 'Can youplay Dixieland?' I affirmedthat I could, despite thefact that I had not previ-ously played with a Dixie-land band. But 1 knew thestyle, and knew that Icould do it.

" He asked if I wouldlike to join Louis Arm -

strong - and I said Nu!Not that I didn't want tojoin the All -Stars - it wasjust that, having a familyto rear, 1 didn't want toleave New York.

" And my fears in thisdirection were eventuallyjustified - for having beenpressurised by Joe intojoining the band, it wasseven long months beforeI saw my children.

"But that fact that I

stayed with Louis for ayear. clearly proves mypoint - and when I even-tually gave the requiredfour -weeks notice, no lessthan twelve weeks passedby before they finallysecured Joe Bushkin to re-place me."

Watching Marty withLouis at Batley VarietyClub, it was particularlynoticeable that he scornedthe use of pedals.

"It is deliberate," hereplied. "1 rarely usethe pedals except for anarpeggio, especially in anintroduction for a singeror a soloist.

"The ' loud ' pedal inparticular does not in-crease the volume, itmerely makes the chord ornote ring. I prefer myplaying to be clean andcrisp. Load or soft play-ing should come from thehands, and I prefer tobuild my own controlledcrescendo."

The Bill Evans trio hasbeen a major force in con-temporary jazz because ithas always functioned as atrio - and not just as asupremely gifted pianist withbass and drum accompani-ment.

Few leaders have beenblessed with such a superbscession of bass playersas Evans; but Eddie Gomezcould well prove to he themost illustrious of all. Hisarticulation, above all, Ismagnificent; and, of course,he has all the other virtuesthat seem nowadays men-datory for American bassplayers

Gomez, who was horn inPuerto Rico and grew up inNew York on the edge ofHarlem, was first given a

bass in junior high schoolwhen he was eleven " Fromthat moment I alwayswanted to play bass for a

living," he says. " I tookit seriously - iL was so bigand clumsy and not regardedseriously by many people.I wanted to extend its rolein jar -that way you tochallenge other instrumentsand posh then) further on"

A graduate of the New-port Youth Band. Gomezstudied for three years underthe lair Fred Zimmerman(his pupils included Mingus,Red Mitchell, Bill Crow andmany others) at Juilhard andduring this period workedwall Marian M(Pattland1 ,ter he worked with athen griiui, led by Gary Mr.

Gomez feels there isreal division In jar. at themoment which has alsodivided audiences "Theaudiences have shied awaya little - but 1 think therewill be a bringing togetherof minds in the next fiveyears. There is so much towork on - so many won-derful players and differentapproaches and ideas."

Like Evans, Gomez feelsthat the presence of Jackde JOhnette in the trio isproviding added rhythmicfire and "although we playas a Hie,e each have ourstrongly individual contribu-tions to make."

De Jnhnelte, whose drumtalent with Charlee Lloydwas sometimes obscured byvisual eccentricities andstrings of bells, started cutin New York as a pianoplayer. "That helps me," hesays, "appreciate Hill's con-tribution to jazz and to thepiano."

De Johnette left theCharles Lloyd group thisspring because he wanted toplay with other musiciansand wanted a break fronttravelling. "Charles lovesto travel around, but I liketo dwell a little bit and ab-sorb things. I also thinkCharles was getting a bitton stuck on a pop imageBut my three yearn withhim were a great usicalexperience for nue"

Although De Johnette pro-duces the almost standardlist of drummers when askedabout his influences - ElvinJones. Tony Whams, Phill,.Jon and Roy Haynes (who.he says, ,h,uld make a °illlino dollars cols time hr.hits the dewy.)o his planing highl, personal ani

rival

The man who has, per

haps,. made the biggest im.presmon on De Johnette isthe late John Coltrane whomJack worked with fora weekat the Plugged Nickel inChicago last year. "Thatwas my biggest thrill:' hesays. "There are justwords to describe Coltrane- either as a musician oras a person. learned so

and listening Every recordhe made a a masterpieceand I'm glad he was ableto reap some benefits fromhis work before he died."

From the extrovert, col-ourful world of ChurlLloyd to the subdued, intr7spective world of Hill Evansis quite a leap for De John.-ette.. But he has the greatestadmiration for Evans' play-ing'Bill's music is good,pure

Referring to his ownpersonal likes and dis-likes, he went on,

"I never cease to befascinated by any Mali -

"Jazz musicians canonly learn by listening toalmost anyone who doeshis job well. I learned alot when I was a bay of15 by listening to EarlHines, Jess Stacy and FatsWaller. Many years laterI was further influencedby Errol Garner, but I

Gene Pitneman of

many imageGENE Pitney is the man of many images - adifferent recording face for different coun-tries, it seems."I've had different hits in almost every country," hesays."In this country people expect ballads from me. InItaly, the majority of my hits have been In Italian. Mycurrent single in America, which is doing nicely, Is ' She'sA Heartbreaker,' an BAR up -tempo thing. Then somepeople seem to like me as a country singer.

WRITTEN SPECIALLY" I'd like to get back into the country thing ,but It'shard tor a pop singer to get accepted in that field - theytend to only like pure country. Mind you I had a greatstart being able to do an album with George Jones whoIs one of the most popular country singers In the States." And when I played New Zealand I found that thecountry things had cut up my pop image. Half the audi-ences were calling out for country songs. I lust hadn'texpected that at all."Gene's current British single is " Love Grows," writtenby David and Jonathan who wrote his last hit but one," Something's Gotten Hold DI My Heart."" 'Love Grows' was written specially for me," saidGene. "I'd asked them to do another for me but lasttime round they hadn't come up with anything." Now they've written a

very hard song. It startsvery low and it's quite athing to sing

Gene has a showbiz repu-tation as a sharp business-man. It's not an image heparticularly

" I feel like an ogre, whenpeople keep saying that," heobjected. " I do have a fewbusiness things outsidemusic, but I'm completelynon -active in them. Thisidea of me as a real sharpoperator just doesn't fit mevery well. I don't have timefor things outside singing -especially now I have a sunat home

RESTRICT"At the moment I restrict

myself to one tour a yearin the States, one in the FarEast, one in Italy and onehere."

Gene was enthusiasticabout his most recent Brit-ish tour - one of the fewthat has been a big finan-cial success this year.

"After six tours I didn'treally know what was goingto happen," he told me.

"The surprising thing washow diverse the audienceswere. It wasn't a tale ofmums and dads, rather ofgrandmas and grandads andthen four -year -old kids atthe other end of the scale.It was fantastic."

Gene prefers to concen-trate on concerts. " ryenever been a lover of clubs"he admitted "I'm doingtwo while I'm here, at Bat-ley and Stockton, hut theyaren't the same as clubs inthe States.

'In America the dubaudiences are very sophisti-cated They sit hack witha cigar and think ' Go aheadand show me.' In theseBritish clubs the peoplecome to he entertained. It'sa completely different atmo-sphere and I'm looking for-ward to it."

I wondered what sort ofmusic Pitney listened to forpleasure and asked what heplayed when relaxing athome.

BLIND DATE

KEITH MOONDAVE DEE, DOZY.

BEAKY, MICK ANDTICH: "Last Night InSoho" (Fontana).

John Entwistle bass line.Is it a Howard Blaikleysong? So it must be DaveDee. Do I get that one? Iprefer this to the HungarianBeer Chants they usuallydo. No sounds of tankardsclashing to the backgroundof stomping boots. Yeah,I think that'll be a hit.

KINKS: "Day's" (Pye).Memoirs of Ray Davies.

No, it's the first time I'veheard this. This sounds verymuch like a demo with Rayon acoustic guitar. I justheard a bass drum so MickAvory must be on it aswell. So it's the Kinks.Sounds pretty dated, likeone of the songs Petekeeps under his sink. I digwhat the Kinks do, but I'venever thought of them asa group.

QMALL FACES: "Univer-sal" (Immediate).

Well that's nice. It soundslike the Faces on a sunnyday. Great. Great brass.This is a side of the Faceswe saw in Australia on ourtour together. That was themost enjoyable tour wehave ever done.

I'm sure the Faces werelaughing when they madethis. I laughed when Ilistened anyway. It's ,boundto be a smash. Morestrength to their elbows.

This should be a hit.

MAGISTRATES: "HereCome The Judge"

(MGM).Oh, very freaky. Yeah.

It's a good boning record.I'm liking too many of themtoday. Something must havegone wrong. Sock it to meagain. It must be American.Dem bones, dem bones, demDRY bones! Yeah, the endwas the beat bit.

I should think it'll getairplays from groovy dee-ays, but it won't be a hit

here.

TONY NEWMAN: "SoulThing " (Decea).

Is this the Wibbly WobblyWay by the Leaping Duo -

singles out thenew singles

denals I've heard so muchabout? I've no idea whoit is, but it sounds like thetheme music from a badrebel film. Could you pleasemake it go away?

MOODY BLUES: "VoicesIn The Sky" (Deram).

Sounds like a ChineseMove. Wrong again. Curses.I was cheating by looking atthe label, but that nevergets me anywhere. It's anice record. Moodies? I'llhave this one at home. Butthey probably need some-thing a bit more dynamicto get across again.

E T E R THOROGOOD:P "Haunted" (Pye).Sounds like his teeth are

falling out. Very Christmascarol-ish. A Mickie Mostproduction? Alan Bown isit? It could be anyone. Is

that a violin? It's so hiddenI can hardly tell. I thinkpop violinists have hadtheir day. No - not a hit.

GERRY MARSDEN AND`-:"DEREK NIMMO: " Liver-pool " (CBS).

It's the Tradladw I'm notlistening. I'm asleep. It'sobviously a show tune. Isuppose hundreds of Liver-puddlians will be dancing inthe streets to this. Unfortun-ately I can't really see ithappening. Amazing ennit?

AMEN CORNER: " High InThe Sky" (Deram).

Is it the Foundations?Not a Notting Hill group?Yes, British I would say.The sort of thing Americangroups do so much better.Who is it? Nice fellows. Aremote hit.

CHRIS MONTEZ: "Let'sDance" (London).

Oh twist again! (After firstbars). Is this a re-release ofChris Monte.? This is likeplaying the slot machines inthe old calf again. Theremust be a multi -revival on.

I used to like this, butIt's absurd. It's like us re-releasing "Can't Explain."Sounds like a Kit Lambertproduction. I used to likethe Everly Brothers andBeach Boys, but this wasnever more than backgroundmusic in the dance hall.

The best thing with re-releases is to have differentartists on each side for col-lectors items. All my oldrecords are scratched away.

ALAN PRICE: "LoveStory" (Deers).

I'll have to be chaineddown. I don't think I've everlistened to so many recordsall at once. This is a friend-ly record. No idea who itis. It's another streetmusician.

I have visions of a geezerpulling a handcart fullof musicians down thestreet, with cash registerson the side.

Who was it? Oh dear, He'sbeen doing some weirdthings. I should have knownit was Alan Price. I can'timagine anybody else I

know doing that.

BOBBY GOLDSBORO:"Autumn Of My Life"

(United Artists).Is it Bobby Goldberg? I

suppose he's going throughthe alphabet of girl's names.His last one was Honey andI suppose this is about Iona,or Irene.

A Family Favourites kit-chen sink hit. He soundslike he's singing to a photo-graph opf erhsis missus-pipe

OPAL BUTTERFLY

I'VE BEEN trying to fol-low you for 20 years,"

a trumpet player was say-ing to Louis Armstrongin Batley the other day.Louis raised his headfrom the book he wassigning and smiled. " Meand you," he said.

It's nothing new to Arm-strong, this kind of flat-tery. Trumpet playershere have been followinghim for more than 35years; certainly since hemade his much -heraldeddebut in Britain duringJuly, 1932.

' You know, Pops, thegreatest thing ever hap-pened to me was comingover here in '32," he toldme again this trip,

Holiday

Often he's talked aboutvisiting us with Lucille,"just for a holiday and tosee my friends." And thistime, during his fortnightat Batley's Variety Club,he has had time to rest,look around, see some ofthe sights and generallyenjoy himself.

Louis believes in creatinggoodwill between theBritish and Americanpeople, and tries to do sowhenever the chance oc-curs.

In Leeds, when not workingor sleeping or attendingto publicity matters, hefound time to tape mes-sages of this nature forseveral outfits, as well asrecording for the BBC'sBe My Guest and DesertIsland Discs.

Busy

" We did a tape for theRAF, another for the U.S.Army," said Armstrong'smanager, Ira Mengel."You know, he likes tolet the Americans knowabout the English people.Then we did a tape for allthe hospitals the otherevening. Yes, he's beenpretty busy."

You can count on Louis toremember old acquaint-ances from earlier visits,and ask after those stillsurviving.

Talking to Humphrey Lyt-telton and me abouttrumpets and mouth-

lieces,he roared with

aughter about his firstSelmer, presented to himin '32.

Horn

"That Ben Davis camedown with this nice newhorn and asked if Ithought I could use it. Itold him if he was givingIt to me I could play itall right. Up to that time,back home, I'd paid forall my new horns.

"So I took it straight outon stage that night andplayed my show on it,and I been using one likeit ever since. Yes, theywere clever, those Davisboys. Made a lot of loot?Good . . . I'll tell yousomething. They couldboth play good, too."

On the question of mouth-pieces, it seems Satch hasfrequently used " what-ever came with the horn."There were two in thetrumpet case looking asthough they belonged tohis K -Modified Selmer.

When I asked what type hereferred, he reached inhieback pocket and said:

rightReel?hereI'll timeto

from timeMy favoure

to time blow on it,you know,"

Clean

" I give my horns about fiveYears. Of course 1 lookafter them, run hot waterthrough the horn everynight. It will last for everif you keep it clean, likeyour stomach. So I couldkeep one longer, but I usea horn a lot and that'show long I usually give'em."

Inner cleanliness remindedPops of his diet and re-duced outline. He showedint some of his wardrobe,explaining that the suits,shirts and shoes were Allnew. His feet. it appears,have shrunk a little withthe overall los. of weight."There's four thousanddollars' worth of new

He added, in emphatic tonesI have to say: " But I'vegot to work on Tyree. I'vegot him on Swiss Knssand told him he'll soon be

" Fact is, Tyree's alreadybenefitting from them,he told me: 'Pops, thetrouble is I hardly havetime to take my jacketoff.'" Louis laughed up-

CHRIS WELCH

IS THE era of the pop idoldead? Are the days when

Mick Jagger's face couldlaunch a thousand screamsover?

Michael D'Abo is thesinger thrust into the popidol's throne vacated byPaul Jones with ManfredMann. He has never knownthe mass hysteria of PopBoom days.

Yet if the idol conceptstill holds strong Michaelshould be included on theroster with Barry Gibbs,Davy Jones and PeterFrampton.

How does he feel aboutthe whole gilt and glitter-ing subject of pop idolatry?

Recovering from a nightof sleeplessness motoringdown the MI from a North-ern gig, at his discretelyexpensive London home,Michael displayed remark-able diplomacy and restraintin the face of probing ques-tions.

Jape"It's usual when one

goes abroad to be asked theoccasional question aboutPaul Jones," said Michaelanticipating the inevitablequestion about to be sprungin his own living room.

If screaming fans don't bat-ter daily at his door, andwave " we love you" ban-ners in disorderly demonstra-tions everytime he boards a

i'plane or number II bus, he s

strongly in the public eyewith Manfred's latest hit MyName Is Jack."

He greeted the MM with. aslightly wild-eyed look in-duced by a minimum of threehours sleep, but had witsabout him enough to perpe-trate a jape.

D'ABO: " people don't comeknocking at the door

"I'm taking up the violin,"he announced with a wansmile, and produced a violincase. But inside the case weretwo bottles, one containing anold draught of bad wine, atin of cashew nuts and bottleopener.

- Fun isn't it?" he said hid-ing the case behind a woodendresser. " I used to take it torecording sessions and say:'String player - whereaboutsplease?'"

WineWhere did the single come

from." I feel everybody knows

about it now. Manfred and Isaw it in a film directed byAl Grossman called "You AreWhat You Eat," and we werecertain it would be a singlefor us even while 'Quinn'was still selling. Normally weare two records behind othergroups in bringing out followups.

"Hang on - I've justrealised what the time Is. Ithought it was breakfast time.I'll get us something todrink." And Michael returnedwith a glass of chilled whitewine.

- Where the Manfreds havefallen short in the past hasbeen on albums. We haven'tplanned them beforehand andoften wound up with a seriesof reject singles.

" But our theme now is totake the mickey out of thewhole pop scene. Nobodyescapes the lash. We'd like todo an album that takes themlekey out of groups, all thedeejays and all the musicpapers. This is all in the dis-cussion stage, and will be adevelopment of the "Mighty

Garvey" scene on our nextbum.

Album" We'd also like to do an

album that could fulfil ourmusical ambitions. Tom couldget some blues musicians to-gether to back him, I coulduse an orchestra for my songsand Mike and Manfred coulddo some jazz. On differenttracks we could show offwhat we can do individually.We come together very wellon commercial single, butwe tend to compromise onalbums."

Does Michael feel he hasbeen a success as a pop idol?

"I have been with Manfredexactly two years now, andabroad one stun gets questionsabout Paul Jones. There is nopoint answering that sort ofquestion. We are a complete-ly different group from theOne Paul was in for two yearsup to Pretty Flamingo'

I get no indication of howpopular I am. I assume thatI am fairly popular as we sellrecords and make appear-ances. I don't get phone callsor letters telling me I ampopular. People don't conicknocking at the door.

'I don't get any indicationof being an idol at all. Reallyit is a secondary matter. Ijust go through the routine ofrecording and doing my beston television. It's like sellingfish and chips.

"Obviously pop mania isn'tthe same scene it was fiveyears ago. The Beatles havekept up their pop aurora long-est, but I'm sure the biggestdays of being screamed at forthe Manfreds was in Do WuhGiddy' days.

"Davy Jones, Scott Walkerand Peter Frampton are onthe front pages of the colourmagazines at the moment, butone day some new bloke willcome along and one of themwill drop out.

Cynical

"If you're looking for animage for us, the whole atti-tude of the Manfreds is acynical approach, which goesdown well, especially amongUniversity audiences. We liketo be vaguely humorous.

" Yes, I think the excltemeet probably has gone outof pop, but I never felt thatmuch excitement anyway. For

athe people who make it inpop, there is great sense ofdisillusionment. The superfi-cial glamour of haying a hitreally isn't there. It just givesyou a chance to get Into ahigher income bracket.

"Pop. stars aren't real starslike Sammy Davis Jr. orFrank Sinatra. You are tornall the time between the an -parent grandeur of being onstage in a silk shirt, thenbombing down the MI. Pop isa stepping stone Into thewider world of show business.It's a good starting off point.

" No, I don't think pop de-serves any more respect thanIt gets because the system Isso phoney anyway. If you tthe idea that it is the endall and be all, then you are indanger.

System

"It's just that pop hastaken over from the film starsystem of the forties andfifties, which was 1.1 anphoney. Once, If you wentinto the amusement arcade atthe end of top pier, all thepictures would be of filmstars. Now they are pop stars,with only David Hemmingsand Terence Stamp bridgingthe generation gap."

THIS record is important for severalreasons First and foremast the

It played pretty goodmaterial with precision allied to realla. expressiveness. and was creativein the sense that it developed a styleof its awn and pioneered many tricksof arranging and presentation whichhare gone into stock, so to speak.

Avid followers of the band classedit with Ellington's and Basic's. I havealways found is, on balance, a littleless illustrious than these but excel-lent musically and inspired by a

special kind of enthusiasm and groupswIng.

It was, as this collection amplydemonstrates, an entertaining bandto boot. The producer, Frank Driggs,has wisely left out most of the flag-warers. but the fast title tune Jaeesan impression of how the " HarlemExpress " went to work on the killer.dillers.

FOLK LP OF THE MONTH

Sex in a balanced lightDOWN

through the ern -tunics there has always

been a strong rejection of sexas something dirty, forbiddenand certainly not to be talkedabout particularly among so-called sophisticated sectionsof society. In some periodsenti-sex attitudes werestronger than others. In Vic-torian times, for instance,some people were so Prudishas to have "skirts" made fortable legs although today wefind this laughable.

Fortunately there has al-ways been a counter balanceto these attitudes particularlyin the arts and more particu-larly in literature and poetry.

Folksong, too, has its quotaof erotica although often col-lectors and publishers took itupon themselves to act ascensors of public taste and

Ewan MacColl, with this

album, presents some excel-lent examples of folksongsdealing with sex for enjoy-ment. They are not so blatantor deviant as, say, "The Fourand Twenty Virgin. (The BallAt Kirriernuir)" or "TheGood Ship Venus," neitherere they as mildly suggestive

mheavilyveiled as some

odern pop songs dealingwith "love" where you areoften allowed to draw yourown conclusions.

There is often a strong ele-ment of humane as In "TheCobbler.' which deals withthe amorous adventures of abutchers wit; who while herhusband Is at market invitesin not only the the cobbler,but the local policeman, whoperhaps, Ironically, escapeswhile the cobbler bears thebrunt of the butchers' anger.Or "The Vintner" in whicha girl "rents" her "cellar"and takes the man to court

for not paying. He proteststhat he only put in nothingbut "one poor pint of wine "to which she replies that heleft "two hogsheads at thedoor.' She gets her money forthis witty reply.

Some songs present a6or1 an's view, as In the Scot-tish "Andrew And His CattyGun" or "The Furze Field"or, as in "The Coachman AndHis Whip," an older ersionof the lady and her chauffeur,the woman taking a fancy toa man - in this song thecoachman gets lady's maid aswell.

Call this album what youwill - bawdy, erotic butnever dirty. With these songswith Ewan MacColl as theexcellent medium for theirtransmission, put sex into amore balanced light. That itis part of, rather than the be-an and end-all, of life. -TONY WILSON.

PETER GREEN'S FLEET-WOOD MAC: "Need YourLove So Bad " (BlueHorizon). What will theblues fans say? PeterGreen and strings.

A Little Willie John com-position. H e wrote" Fever " and this is a

Ray Charles type perfor-mance, that could actuallyget Peter some plays out-side of the blues market.Let's hope the bluesmarket stays loyal.

Why is Engelbert Hamper-dinck living in exile inHammersmith? Long LiveErnest Ansermeti Agroovy performance andone that deserves to bea hit.

It's the best thing Genohas ever done on record,complete with solid back-ing.

Nobody has a gun at myhead when I say thisshould be a hit.

PETER AND GORDON:" You've Had Better Times "

(Columbia). For a duothat have supposedlybroken up they make anawful lot of records! Hereis an interesting GordonWaller song with a dashof cowboy humour.

A funky, gOodtime beat,with piano to the fore,plus what sounds likeharmonica. But I amwrong shout everything.

I thought the Small Faces" Universal " was a send.up of Don Partridge, hutI am wrong about thisapparently So exercis.ing due restraint I merelyreport that it is a hit orelse the public don't deserve good records

KLIIH WEST: "On ASaturday " (Parlophonpl.A certain prejudice musth admitted here.

Keith and I had to longdiscussion about Dinkytoys at my brothers

when we wereabout ten years old, andI always thought he wasa clever chap, especiallyas he had a double-deckerbus and I only had ascratched Daimler ambul-ance.

But attempting to cast thisnatural awe aside, I feelI can factually reportthat this is an exception-ally pleasing sound, andone of Keith's originalcompositions. Nice guitarabounds and the vocal istop class.

EASYBEATS: " Land OfMake Believe" (UnitedArtists). Song by GeorgeYoung and Harry Venda,with a dreamlike, fantasyfeel, and nice harmonies.Says their manager: "TheEasybeats are total pro-fessionals in a pretty un-professional business.

The Easybeats should neverbe out of the chart."Stirring words, but thenLucien Seabag shouldnever be out of the chart,and he is a professional.A professional plumber itis true, but nevertheless,a professional throughand through.

The point about pop, is, willit be a hit? The answerin this case is, I fear, no.Not for any solid reasonsthat one can think of.There is just a lack of hitmagic.

KEN DODD: "Sunshine"(Columbia). Ken in hap-pier mood than usual, al-most riotous.

This may come as a shockto ballad fans, for itcontains moments ofbrazen hilarity, as themen's chorus sing "duodoo do, be doo don, dipBAH!" in a manner that

can only convey they areintent on ribaldry andmerry making.

Yet in the face of it all, Iam tempted to issue averdict of - balderdashfirst class.

MICK AND TICH: "LastNight in Soho" (Fontana)Well away from theirusual gimmick -laden per-formances, but onceagain the Howard Blaik-ley lyrics tell a story.

Another hit for them, butnot quite as commercialas things like " Xanadu "One would love to knowwhat the temptation wasthat ex -policeman Daveexperienced in Soho?

A great song by Ales Spy-ropoulos, and PatrickCampbell Lyons, whichthey tea lured on Nirv-ana's original " Story OfSimon Slmopath " science

fiction pantomime album.A tremendous orchestral

backing, arranged byHarry Robinson, and thegreat vocal performanceone expects from Alan'svastly underrated singerJess Roden.

This must be the AlanBown's best single yet,and one to finally estab-lish them in the chart.

"It's a bit complicated, butI shall record in both coun-tries and Atlantic and Philipswill take each other's record-ings," sold Dusty.

"I'd like to make it clearthat I'm not dissatisfied withthings here - only withPhilips in America. The Atlan-tic deal is no reflection atall on Johnny Franz or anyother people at Philips In

"Why have I been stickingto ballads for singles? Therereally aren't that many ravers

"Albums. My last one wasa bit of a disappointment. Itdidn't do very well at allalthough I thought it wasfairly good - certainly betterthan the others I've done."

Dusty Is really looking for-ward to her forthcomingAmerican tour.

"What they are planning issomething I'm really excitedabout," she said. -Apparentlygirl singers don't like to docollege tours. I asked themto set one up for me andeverybody was surprised.

I'd guess, except as an incident In history, likethe second world war of Bill Haley's first British tour, which veterans tell them about.I suppose you could call Shirley a folk veterantoo, though she doesn't look it. She has keptthe craggy beauty that used to shine out abovethe washboard in those Rambler days, and shestill sings some of the old songs, things like"Still I Love Nlm" and Ewan MacColl's "TheFireman's Not For Me."It isn't just the fact that she has added con-temporary songs by Leonard Cohen and TomPaxton to her repertoire that makes her verymuch a singer of the present.

It may have something to do with the factthat in those old days she was always ahead ofher time. While every other oirl In sight waswhining away, trying to sound Negrodd, sheand Shirley Collins and very few others sangout in their own voices, clear and true, puttingon no style, lust for the sheer PO of singing

Now she's back, and building up a sizeable...potation at clubs whose audiences know noth-leg of the part she's played in the Posl-warhistory of popular music in this country.

contemporary.

op.-ogio or special pleading, she snds as goodas she always did and just as contemporary.She hasn't got a big voice, but small though itis. she has a richness in it, and an ability tomould it round the curves in her melodies, thatsome less experienced lassies should envy.

She has a concert at the Royal Festival HallPurcell Room on July 5 with Davy Graham,Michael Cooney and Jon Beimead, which shouldre-establish her place on the scene. - KARLDALLAS.

A kind of politeriot at the FestivalTHE Burk Waldeck

(Germany) Interna-tional Festival ofFolksongs and Chan-sonse takes place inan idlyllic setting amile from the nearestvillage in a breaktak-ingly lovely valley inthe Hunsnick moun-tains.

This year, bigger than ever,it will be remembered formany reasons.

First, it was the year of theUS invasion. Besides theexpatriates now living inBritain - Hedy West,Torn Paley, for instance- there were the Ameri-cans from America, Odet-ta, Guy Carawan, PhilOchs, Mike Cooney.

The British line-up was afestival in itself: BobDavenport, Terry Gould,John Pearce, Leon Rossel-son, Roger Watson, Alas-dair Clayre, Pete andMarion Gray, DaveCooper and the Song -

poachers . . and severalmore, including a host ofsingers from the ReadingUniversity folk club.

Among the Continentalgiants were Germany's

No 1 chansonniers,Franz Josef Degenhardtand Harms -Dieter Husch,Hein and Oss (scheduledfor British clubs in theautumn), Schobert andBlack. From Belgiumcame :lobos Beaucarne,who recently sang in Lon-don clubs. From Hollandcame Cobi Schreijer andDick Poons - both wereat last year's Cambridgefestival where Dickshowed himself a sensi-tive solo blues artist, aswell as a brilliant accom-panist for Cobi.

During almost a week ofworkshops. concerts, ceil-idhs, the Festival will beremembered for some top -

tine performances, GuyCarawan's concert/lec-ture on the songs of theAmerican Negro FreedomMovement was excitingand convincing, shotthrough with passion andconcern - and withbeautiful singing. Peteand Marion Gray's work-shop was a complete tourde force

And the 1968 Festival willbe remembered for argu-ments that were a kindof polite riot. It seemedat times as if the studentactivities would take over

the festival.In England, I've heard many

ding-dong discussions -public and private -about the relationship offolk songs and politics. AtBurg Waldeck the argu-ment was about the relev-ance of singing itself.After about three songs.the activists, dottedamong the audiences,would stand up, demand-ing in shrill voices " Whyare you singing aboutprotest? Why don't youstop singing, go out anddo something? Actionspeaks louder thansongs."

The resulting arguments.conducted with vigour -aggression even - be-tween platform and audi-ence and between listenerand listener, producedsome amazing scenes.Degenhardt's workshopground to a halt afterthree or four songs,though many thought thediscussion that followedit worth while. Hanns-Dieter Husch got from thecrowd a quite undeservedverbal mauling that wouldhave horrified an Englishaudience.

One British visitor commen-ted that when we singwe sing, and when we dis-cuss we discuss. But wedon't disrupt the singer'sact with arguments; ourrotten tomatoes (intellec-tual and real) arethrown only when a per-formance deserves to getthe bird. In sympathywith the treatment Degen-hardt and Husch had re-ceived, Cohn Wilkie andShirley Hart led a singers'strike at the start of thebiggest concert. After aproper show of reluct-ance, Colin allowed him-self to be persuaded backon stage. "Do you wantto listen' he asked inperfect German (" Ja,Ja!" called the crowd.)Colin lapsed into perfectAnglo-Saxon: "Then four -

lettering shut -up!"The 5,000 -strong audience

voted to listen by showof hands. The disrupterswere exposed as a merescore who voted other-wise

When the details of thearguments have been forgotten, everyone will re-member the sunshine. thewine at knock -downprices, and six days ofmusic in a glorioussetting - ERIC WINTER

A change of

fortune forthe StrawbsA FIVE year contract

signed direct with anAmerican company is a niceprize for any group and theStrawbs have landed justsuch a prize. An A & MRecords executive heardthem by chance in Denmark,the boys sent some demodines to the U.S. and con-sequently their first single," Oh How She Changed "has just been released inBritain, with the B-side, OrAm I Dreaming," being is-sued as the A -side in theU.S.A. The record is also tobe released on a world widebasis in countries such asAustralia, Japan and SouthAfrica.

BLUEGRASSThe group achiev promin-

ence in the folk world as theStrawberry Hill Boys but DaveCousins, Tony Hooper andRon Chesterman, decided thatthe name had musical limit-ations. Says Dave: "Now weare not playing bluegrass andwe are stuck between popand folk. Although in a ball-room we would die a death,we can get away with whatwe want to do in folk clubs.""We are composers whowant to see our music Ine-sented in the best possibleway" POintS out Tony Hooper"The thing is to make thebest of it, doing what comesruatorallY. The songs becomewidely acceptable hen theyare done with orchestraand we do it because it iswhat the songs need,"

"And we are in the for-tunate position of being ableto please ourselves as far asrecording goes," says Dave.

WRITINGAlthough Dave and Tony

see their future in writing andpublishing, they are concen-trating on recording songs, AtPresent, besides promoting thesingle, theyare also workingon an album.

"Some of the songs arethree years old and some arethree weeks old," says Dave."The older songs are fairlyvague whereas the newer onesare more definite in what theysay. They're not protest butcomments on everyday life.They allow people to getHer own ideas from the9.08. Most of them arebased on personal experienceand observation."

But they 1170 not all likethat" comments Tony. "Someare romantic. We picked thebest Id out of 60 songs writ-ten over the Last three years."

TASTEThe album is being prod

ueed by C. Dudgeon and thearrangements are by TonyVisconti, of whom Dave andTony both speak Leo highlymg from the groups twoThe songs base backings rang-ing from the group's twoguitars, played by Dave andTony, and Ron Chestorman'sbass, to laze backings and a37 -piece orchestra. Wouldtheir next single corm fromthe album? "We C2111 seeanything coming out of whatwe've put down, so we'll prob

h!) Write one "sate.

Adds Tony "A hit singlewould help to establish sts, butit would only be a taste ofwhat we ran do,"

"What we really wantbasically," said Dave, "Is 10be recognised for writinggood quality songs." --TONYWILSON.

STOP KNOCKINGTHE MONKEES

I AM appalled by the critics' recep-tion of the latest Monkees single

I am not a Monkees' fan but I admire them for their refusal to be tieddown to their "manufactured" image.

It seems the critics have been wait-ing for them to make a bad record toattack them. It was the same when theBeatles made their Magical MysteryTour film. Such destructive criticismhas little value. - GERRY BURNS,Marrenpoint, Co. Down.

STONES MOANML ST write to give vent to my indig-nation about Top Of The Pops. For

two years Stones fans hare waited tosee their group in the number one spot.

What does the BBC give us? A few out.dated stills and interminable shots ofthe Gotos. I ant aware there may havebeen difficulties in giving us the Stoneslive, but what t4 as wrong with giving us

repeat of one of the perfectly goodfilm clips we saw previously. - MRS.ELSA SMITH, Dartford, Kent.

MEANINGLESSPEOPLE are saying that British music

isn't what it used to be, which isquite understandable because with thesubsklence of the Beatles them is nodriving force for originality any more.

So the greatat

of British expansionof musical ideas has stopped - worseIt's curled round and stuck in a mech-anical churning out of meaningless corn-

rnerciel rubbish which hogs to beplugged" by likewise manufacturedhippy deeply..

Teenyboppers would really look aroundII the sacred ton ten were composed ofsuch throbbingly enlightened bands asElmer Gantry, Incredible String Band,Pentangle, Earth Opera and similarchannels - then British musical thoughtwould flourish and open out towards anew world, rather than sliding away intothe oblivion of the Herd, Love Affair,Amen Corner, Tremeloes, Marmalade andsuch. - KMJOHF MURRIE, Hinton,Hereford.

CURIOUS

Is, very curious to know what madeAndrew Oldham reissue "Life Is But

Nothing" as the B side on Pat Arnold'snew single, "Angel Of Morning." Anyreal P.P. fan will be buying their thirdcopy of "Life." If first appeared on theflip of - Everything's Gonna Be Al-right " and is also on the "First Lady "album.

"Lite" is a realty beautiful song buthots many copies do we need? - BRIANRICE, London, SWIO.

HIGHER

MORE and more people are complain-ing about the way pop music has

deteriorated <wet the last few months.In actual fact it has probably reacheda higher standard now than ever before.

The reason for the lack of recognition

of good talent Is because people ambeing force-fed with that Intolerablerubbish constantly churned out on RadioOne. With the exception of John Peel,most deejays seem to thrive on theMonkees and such -like rubbish.

Please let's have more of John Peel,Spooky Tooth, the Nice Arthur Brown,Incredible String Rand, and Tyranno-saurus Rex. Let's have a break fromDavy Jones and the Monkees - a per-manent break. - TREVOR STOKES,Caterhain, Surrey.

THANKSSINCERE thanks to Max Jones for his

superb piece on George Wettling.Having read lam articles on both sidesof the Atlantic few the last 25 years Iconsider this to be the finest one of all.- A. B. LEE, Sheffield 2.

OUTSHONE

IHAVE just returned from a visit toAmerica. Whilst in New York 1 saw

the Jeff Beck Group play at the Fill -

more. Their performance was very pro-fessional and impressive and theyoutshone the American groups on theshow.

They received an excellent receptionfrom a critical audience. This latherpuzzles me for the act was little differentto the one have seen them give InLondon. Yet one rarely hears mention ofthem here. I think they have been ter-ribly underrated. - J. CAMERON,Ealing, W.5.

FAMILYMillions have cried

For millions that diedFor things that they strived

But more millions lust sighed

Made excuses and lied

Stood numb, stupefied

With mouths open wide

Wondering which side

Of tne fence they should ride.

While I'm swept by the tide

Thinking I've tried

But still mystified

By the rules I abide.

Apart from the colour

Which slowly gets duller

Were all.

Just so much confetti.
