6th August 2023 sidetracks and detours weekend walkabout. PASS IT ON volume 12

As our Sidetracks And Detours daily blog celebrated its fourth birthday last week, we were busy getting its three month old baby washed and dressed to take out in his pram as we have done for the past eleven weeks. So welcome to the new generation of Sidetracks & Detours and please say hello to Pass It On. We start today off with a great plaet of Hot Biscuits as Steve Bewick tell us of his Jazz on Air and then we bring you theatre news from Steve Cooke, and his latest reports from Manchester International Music Festival and Dr. Joe Dawson tells us all about the organists´ day trip to Leeds. Peter Pearson shows us all points forward with a look at tribute songs and Norman Warwick´s Island Insight is about All The Fun Of The Fair

LOOKING TO GET LOST?

"You put the book down feeling that its sweep is vast, that you have read of giants who walked among us,"

LET THE MYSTERY BE?

I realize looking back I thought it would be like this. I mean, I got the call to write and sing. I knew that. I didn’t get the call to sell millions of records. The voice didn’t say, “Hey Iris, you’re gonna go be a star.” I didn’t hear that voice. … All I knew was I was told to do music, to write and sing for people. If fifteen people hear it, if five hundred thousand people hear it, that’s really not my concern. Never was. It still isn’t. I feel like when I make a record, I love it and I care about it. I want people to hear it. But if I do my job and nobody does, I will sleep fine with that.
