"He asked, 'What you been thinking about when you wrote that?' I said, 'I don't know. I think I raised my glass to the people who came before us, the fighters, people who fought for our rights and justice for our people. It's just a salute to them.'" - Gil Scott-Heron

Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶
RIP George Fenton, forget the prestigous movie themes and Oscar nominations. You gave us moody guitar noodling and accordians as our sunday evening soundtrack. youtu.be/1y5E63jGT2I?...

Really sad to hear of the death of @annapicard.bsky.social, who I only knew on the other place and then here, but who I nevertheless felt I knew. A great loss to music and writing.
