It really is quite difficult to build an ugly wooden boat.

Re: fiddlesticks!!!
Swarb's a different class. More like Mozart - crazy, raunchy, complete mastery of his instrument in 6 different styles, sick and his heart was always out on a plate for everyone to touch and connect to.
Hope he still is.A society predicated on the assumption that everyone in it should want to get rich is not well situated to become either ethical or imaginative.

Re: fiddlesticks!!!
True. I checked out one. He still looked quite sick.
Somewhere there's a vid of him on his 60th? birthday (probably, Martin is 61). He looks pretty awful there, too.
But in May Martin assured me that Swarb was up and running again.
I guess I'll have to go back to England to see for myself.A society predicated on the assumption that everyone in it should want to get rich is not well situated to become either ethical or imaginative.

Re: fiddlesticks!!!
From Wiki
Health and premature obituary
For many years Swarbrick has suffered steadily worsening health due to emphysema. There was considerable embarrassment for the Daily Telegraph newspaper in 1999 when it published a premature obituary for Swarbrick after he was admitted to hospital with a chest infection.[29]
Dave and Christine Pegg launched the SwarbAid, including a fund-raising concert at Birmingham's Symphony Hall in July 1999, and a limited-edition EP live recorded in the hope of paying for his treatment. After a relapse they launched SwarbAid II with a similar concert in 2004.[30]
Swarbrick was fortunate enough, in October 2004, to receive a double lung transplant and has since enjoyed improved health and a better quality of life after being confined to a wheelchair for some years.It really is quite difficult to build an ugly wooden boat.
