Prog Synch Listen: Trader Horne: Better [Than] Today

[C]

Lovely flute

[LMG]

By the way the bassist went on to Mungo Jerry





.

According to WIkipedia, there was a festival in Newcastle organised to launch Trader Horne. Before they could play, Judy left the band! So they did not play, and the slot was used to launch...Mungo Jerry.

does it say why she left the band?

An article in the Guardian newspaper says 'a crisis of confidence'. She suffered from terrible stage fright and hated touring, both the driving in vans and the performances, which terrified her.

Sad.

[John aka Josh]

These are amazing songs - they sound trad. arr, but are all written by Jackie McAuley, apart from the next one...

Almost all - Judy wrote the title track and co wrote Velvet to the Throne with Martin Quittendon. His future credits include Rod Stewart's You Wear it Well & Maggie May.

[John aka Josh]

truly. it's a wunnerful de-stresser

Indubitably.


I've had a bit of an emotional ride today - I've retired after 29 years of teaching in the same school.

This is most calming.

oh my. 29 years is an amazing amount of time, fighting the good fight. out of all the feelings you feel, i hope being proud comes first and foremost.

i only managed 13 years, but i was so very torn when i stopped. i still have students who talk to me, and i haven't taught since '99.

::smack::

I'm not sure what feelings I have - there's quite a mixture swirling around. I have been very touched by some lovely cards by former pupils and parents whose children I taught years ago.

[kath]

love the chorus here, ohhh the mixed up kind

[LMG]

This is a terrific album.
