Hope all is well Deke! His Birthday and anniversary of his death are this month. He did so much of his 27 years.
Its a shame he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. But it’s ok. Pete ham lives on here where it counts in the Hole with us simple folk who are just here for the music. Nothing more nothing less!
You ever heard “little Sue?” Its from the Keyhole St demos 66-67 it was released in 2013. The songs about empty nest syndrome and the pain and loneliness and anxiety of watching your children grow up and leave home. its amazing how somebody that young could write those lyrics it’s very reminiscent of. She’s leaving home by The Beatles. Written around the same time or possibly even before . Makes you wonder who was influencing whom?
“Little Sue ain't coming
The guests have gone the wedding's over now
Just Mom and Dad left on their own
Feeling sad 'cause they're alone they weep and Talk of all the times they had
Walking with their children in the park
Little Sue ain't coming no more
Listen mother don't you cry
Could she be happier then I don't think so Think of all the times we had
None of them were really really bad
Wasn't long ago their house was full
Funny how the time can fly
Teddy bears and trains that Dad would play with
Now he wants his life again
Just so he can play with them once more”
