There is a girl called Judith Hill who is starring in a documentary film called \u201c20 feet from Stardom\u201d and it is about all the great backing singers who never get recognised. She has backed the likes of Michael Jackson and never got a mensh on the credits. Sounds like an interesting film\u2026.but that is what the game is all about really\u2026it\u2019s the session guys who go the distance.\n \nOn the subject of films I watched a Will Smith film called \u201cHancock\u201d\u2026er\u2026.they don\u2019t seem to be able to round films off these days\u2026too much CGI and not enough story\u2026mind you it also starred Charlize Theron who is very easy on the eye..so that helped.\n \nWe have had the Sahara Desert descend on us\u2026mostly on my car\u2026.and there have been pollution warnings\u2026.as usual let\u2019s scare everyone\u2026.however it has made me a bit throaty and has cut down the visibility\n\u2026it wont be long before the Government are blamed.\n \nThere is a move afoot to ban E cigarettes from public places\u2026.they reckon it is encouraging smoking amongst the young instead of helping people pack in.\nIt\u2019s a tricky one really because on one hand you have the right to basically do what you want and on the other you have the offence caused to non smokers\u2026.to me there seems to be a lack of education regarding smoking\u2026.it should be obvious to even the densest of people that to start smoking will do you no good in the long run\u2026but they still do it\u2026and of course you have the genius who comes up with BLANK cigarette packets\u2026oh yes that will solve the problem\u2026.all that will do is save the ciggy companies a fortune on ink.\n \nI went on the ferry this week to do a bit of filming for one of my songs which I\u2019ll be outing on YouTube\u2026\u2026it\u2019s always been a delightful ride on the River Mersey\u2026despite Gerry warbling \u201cFerry Cross The Mersey\u201d down the speakers\u2026HOWEVER they now have a narrative throughout the whole journey BY GERRY !!...has to be heard to be believed.\n \nOne of the Wednesday night musicians from our weekly jam sessions (The Cheshire Cats) has sadly died and has donated all his gear to the organisation\u2026we are in the process of selling it off and putting the money into the fund.It all goes to children\u2019s charities.His church also gave us the donation they received at his funeral\u2026(\xa3400)\u2026his name was Arnie Neale and was a lovely fella who will be missed. We rock on regardless.
