A meeting was convened at Jezs house as his good lady wife was away with the twins. She suggested Songs about girls and the challenge was taken up. Only four of us could make it and Roger had to make a quick exit as he was up early for a work trip to Wales. As usual, you prepare a list of top tunes that gets changed almost straight away as someone plays something that reminds you of another song…thank the Lord for iPods so you can carry big chunks of your collection with you. I toyed with the idea of just playing Cramps records all night but only ended up playing 2. Hot chicken wings (well, legs actually) with Jezs special sauce, dips, crispsetc.. were gratefully accepted as I d arrived straight from work.
