Have a great time. I will not be around tonight due to unforeseen circumstances so good luck with the links!

The "unforeseen circumstances" were tripping up.and falling flat on my face in my High Street, followed by a night in the local hospital Accident and Emergency department. I have two lovely black eyes and a broken nose, and look like a candidate for the Black and Blue cover, but there is no serious permanent damage and I am coming home tonight. Thank God for the NHS!

Oh dear that sounds horrible. Wishing you a speedy recovery

+1 hoping you get better soon Green Lady .

As for accidents - these things just happen.

As for last night's gig - Keith's guitar should have been re-checked just before they came to play PIB. It's really out of tune.


But then again: such things just happen.

Jeeez, it's not only Keith on that stage! Good version, but I see others who are on fire, too.

I guess Keith has now forgotten how to tune his own guitar "that's someone else's job!".

That's not exactly what I had in mind in this context.

I think, even the Stones and their entourage are only humans and sometimes, odd circumstances lead to results nobody has expected. Like mistuned G-strings for example.

I know guitars. Even if perfectly tuned, when entering the stage, things can happen...

It's live and it's Rock'n'Roll and thus it's not sterile perfect all the time. I love it!

Just 18 songs tonight?

Yes. On the plus side, they're discussing a partial refund or a free high-quality download of "Around & Around" from the tour rehearsals for Dallas ticket holders right now.

Any G-string is fine by me

Really nice slipping away, is Keith's voice getting better as he gets older ??

This isn't perfection, I'd like to think it's better than that.

That is a beautiful Slipping Away to brighten up a nasty cold wet night (and I like Ronnie's Diamond Geezer hat too).

Taking time off to watch the videos. Thanks for all the good wishes. See you in Vegas, I hope.

Sorry, it was just a nasty little joke... The Stones never gave any refunds in case of shortened shows!

Where is Keith’s rain stick when you need it ( I wonder what it’s success rate is over the years )

A bum note here and there, or a sloppy solo, is part of the game of rock and roll I guess. Even if the ticket average is $350. But to mess up intros is another game. I mean to step forward on the stage in front of a big audience and deliver that. One false note from an opera singer and they are heavily questioned. Another one and they are done. For ever. The same goes for musicians in a symphony orchestra. Just for comparison...

What would you (or anyone) do when you step forward to play the intro and you notice that a string busts or the guitar is out of tune?

You won't notice before you've started. That's the problem...

A Dallas museum was closed for the day. Then Mick Jagger knocked on the door

The Rolling Stones front man has been the toast of Dallas this week.

Ryan Osborne, Hannah Davis
November 3, 2021




DALLAS — Jennifer Monet Cowley was working at the Africansweet -American Museum of Dallas on Monday, hanging an exhibit, when she heard a knock on the front door. It was an older man with a British accent, curious to get a look inside.

"Is the museum closed today?" he asked.

It was, the employees told him, as it is every Monday. But this time, they made an exception.

Sometimes it helps to be Mick Jagger.

The Rolling Stones front man was already the toast of Dallas this week. Not only did the Stones rock a rainy Cotton Bowl on Tuesday night, Jagger made a point to see the city ahead of his show, posting several pictures on social media. One of those pictures was from the African-American Museum near the Cotton Bowl in Fair Park.

The story behind Jagger's museum visit is even cooler.

When Jagger arrived, he was wearing a mask, but one employee, Charka Jones, suspected it was him. Then he pulled his mask down and gave a smirk. That's when Jones knew for sure.

Jagger introduced himself to Cowley as "Mick," and Cowley even thought he looked like Jagger. But no way, right? It couldn't be the Mick, could it?

"My immediate thought was, 'He looks just like Mick Jagger,'" Cowley said. "But was like, 'No, that cannot be.'"

Cowley took Jagger on a tour, and Jagger kept smiling. So Cowley asked him, "What did you say your name was again?

"Mick," he said, and that's when it hit Cowley.

If that moment wasn't surreal enough, Cowley, a local artist and fashion designer, offered Jagger and his team custom shirts.

Jagger's gift in return? He said he'd connect Cowley with his stylist, and he also offered her two VIP tickets to Tuesday night's show.

At the Cotton Bowl, Cowley watched in awe as the 78-year-old Jagger, who she saw at the museum the day before, rocked the stage.

"It was simply amazing," Cowley said of Tuesday night's concert. "Just phenomenal. I can't believe I was there."

Scold the guitar technician? Let's hope it doesn't happen again though. Even if I fear the odds for that is about 50/50 by now...
