Dearly Bewildered

As the verger stirs briefly in his chocolate-induced slumber it once more falls to me to reach out the hand of fellowship to those members of the parish who are neither on a golf course in the Algarve nor snapping up exchange rate bargains on New York's Fifth Avenue. It's a brief missive to the massive this month but as we know the Lord moves in mysterious ways his wonders to perform.

We begin with a civil defence announcement from Johnny Cash:

We follow with the Rock Stars With The Coolest Names

And we wonder, was this The Smartest Way To Begin A Show Ever?

Parishioner Ronald Hackston:

Top jock-rock twins the Proclaimers are very much in the ether at the moment, what with their charity single, and their greatest hits album, but imagine my surprise the other day when I saw one of them in a video dated approx 1968 or 69, for the Doors' "Roadhouse Blues". You may recall a bespectacled young man in the audience shaking his fists insistently - see attached image - who bears a startling resemblance to one of the aforementioned twin celts. Now either (a)the Reid boys are much older than they're letting on, (b)one of them has access to a time machine, thus explaining his presence here and their long absences from our recent chart, or (c) this is actually their dad. My money's on (b), and I'm going to keep an eye out for other anochronistic Proclaimer-sightings, as they are bound to have cropped up, Zelig-like, as they surfed the rift in the space-time continuum. Anyway, here's a photo of one them in 1968...

Parishioner Mark A. Walker feels we should know about this exciting offer for those who like New Balance trainers and Joy Division.
