What goes on in the minds of little boys....

...when one of them suddenly decides to say "ah, chippy chippy chippy!" (in an imitating snoring way) the other finds it hilarious, copies it and returns the sound louder, which makes the other start laughing hysterically, and it all spirals on and on and on for several minutes?

I don't know and I don't think they do either. Sometimes it's funny, well, at first. But not when it escalates....grrhh!

One hypothesis is that perhaps it's the little ones love of chips (as in the ones that go nicely with fish, especially with lashings of salt, vinegar and tomato sauce). Afterall, I think he dreams of dipping chips in ketchup.

Anyway, I'm tired so...[fake yawn]....ah, chippy, chippy, chippy....

Brian Wilson

I went to see Brian Wilson at the Royal Festival Hall in London on 17th September and it was a brilliant gig.

I saw Brian and his band a few years ago when they toured Smile, which was out of this world, and his "reimagines Gershwin" material is great too.
A good hour and half of Beach Boys/Brian Wilson material really was the icing on the cake for everyone there - the place really was rocking!

Here's a few videos of some of the songs from that night. Enjoy!
