We visited our local Dorset pub twice today, first to devour steak pie, now home-made, and later to see the group Wayward. It comprises amplified acoustic guitar, electric bass guitar and electric drum kit, with the drummer providing the vocals. At first they attracted no applause due to numbers fading out rather than ending. Once we understood this we led the applause and others followed. Our favourite numbers were:
1) Sunny Afternoon written by The Kinks' chief songwriter Ray Davies. They released it as a single on 3 June 1966 and it went to number 1 on the UK charts on 7 July 1966, remaining there for two weeks. The link is to that version.
2) Angie written primarily by Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones and recorded in November and December 1972. The link is to that version.

We danced to three numbers, Selina wearing her little black dress and new black tights, showing off her fabulous legs, easily equal to those of the many mini-skirted young women present. A Canadian guy put his arms around us, saying how great we are.
He wished he had a girlfriend with whom he could dance. I said he should find one. Thinking about it since, there must be thousands of lonely women and an equal number of men moaning about not having one. I say to you all "Log on to the internet dating sites, now !"
