“A Folly Called Old John” by Kenny Wilson
“Old John” is a famous “folly” at Bradgate Park, Leicester well known to people in the East Midlands. A great place to visit. It is built to look like a beer tankard! Here’s a new recording of a song I have written and recorded about a building on a hill at Bradgate Park in Leicestershire, […]

Interactive Maps for Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road” by Dennis Mansker
This is a re-post from Dennis Mansker’s web site. The original can be found here: http://www.dennismansker.com/ontheroad.htm In 1957, two novels were published that were destined to have a profound effect on the future of the United States, and indeed, the world, effects that would long outlast the lives of their creators.

My European Musical Adventure Part 2 October 2015
I arrived in Frankfurt at about 10.30 p.m. It was an easy run and the bus station was next to the railway station, like they are in many European cities. It makes sense. Why don’t they do that in British cities? Mind you, the bus stations have a very different atmosphere. There is a slight air […]
