Could have been worse eh?<br /><br />I thought that they were interesting enough to hear, but I never bought any of their stuff myself.Etunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722137562852954269.post-74982427732214257142018-12-31T19:10:42.028+00:002018-12-31T19:10:42.028+00:00I still have a fondness for Genesis back in Gabrie...I still have a fondness for Genesis back in Gabriel's days. The first time I heard Phil Collins sing on Selling England by the Pound I wasn't that impressed. ;)<br /><br />Totally understand now with regards to Penshurst; more time to savour a pint is never a bad thing.<br /><br />And a Happy New Year to you as well.<br /><br />CheersRusstovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11493687426847380993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722137562852954269.post-67482773681722526212018-12-31T10:37:11.372+00:002018-12-31T10:37:11.372+00:00Russ, my favourite tracks are Undertow and Many To...Russ, my favourite tracks are Undertow and Many Too Many, but Follow You, Follow Me and Ballard of Big are also good. <br /><br />It's a shame Steve Hackett left, as I think Genesis really missed his input in the years that followed, but it's the usual thing with bands - musical and sometimes personal differences.<br /><br />We took the train back from Penshurst because walking back to Leigh would have either meant stumbling around in the dark, or having to leave the pub earlier!<br /><br />Typo duly corrected, thank-you.<br /><br />If I don't speak with you before midnight, have a great new year and look forward to receiving your feedback in 2019.Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722137562852954269.post-18194071158159901932018-12-31T04:46:42.797+00:002018-12-31T04:46:42.797+00:00"For may fans it marked the change from the l..."For may fans it marked the change from the longer progressive rock material, which the band were best known for, to shorter, more pop-oriented pieces. "<br /><br />Yup. Nailed it Paul. :)<br /><br />"and contains at least two of my favourite Genesis tracks."<br /><br />Hmmm. Most likely the popular Follow You, Follow Me and then either Undertow or Ballad of Big? :)<br />(big Genesis fan by the way)<br /><br />"Well the name of the album is a reference to the number of walkers who turned out yesterday for a post-Christmas and pre-New Year ramble, "<br /><br />Nice segue. <br /><br />"and the third due to illness."<br /><br />A lot of flu around over here right now.<br /><br />"a definite bonus given that the road is narrow in places and bounded by high banks."<br /><br />Fortuitous that. <br /><br />"so the grass was long, thick and just right for removing all that mud which had accumulated on our boots."<br /><br />Not as bad as yours but we had to do similar in our walk behind into the woods behind our house a few days ago.<br /><br />"there was Christmas Pudding Winter Warmer – a 5.8%, dark ale,"<br /><br />I usually pick up a few 650ml bomber bottles of Christmas warmer over the holidays.<br /><br />"we walked across the disused Penshurst Airfield, towards Penshurst station"<br /><br />Interesting that you took the train to Leigh but went back via Penshurst.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PS - "whilst myself and our other companion stated off "<br /><br />I'll state that I think stated should be started. :)Russtovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11493687426847380993noreply@blogger.com
