Well.....I don't know about you but I'm sick of this COVID-19 crap. When I was a kid we got sick, wiped our noses, pulled up our pants and ..... well...... dealt with it. 
Way back in 1969 I went to Woodstock during the "Swine Flu" epidemic. 1,000,000 people died worldwide and 100,000 alone here in the USA. I communed with 500,000 hippies and survived.....lots of drugs. We still don't have a vaccine for the swine flu but I figure I've got anti-bodies built up. I survived Woodstock, the 60's, hepatitis C, ex-wives and I'm alive....so here we go....but before so: I've made a decision to leave Homegrownradionj.com so the format may change a little....no big deal.

From the pen of Phil May.....
"Excuse me please as I wipe a tear away from an eye...."
    It's sometime after 10:30pm on Sunday 6th September ' 98. I'm in the artist suite at the Abbey Road Studios, London, that deceptive Victorian edifice that at some point in the mid 1960'sbecame the second Liverpool cathedral. As the first ever live performance of S.F. Sorrow fades away down these hallowed corridors the memories kick in. Twist, Shout, Help soaked deep into the brickwork. 1967, Beatles on one side, Pink Floyd on the other and with Norman Smith as fellow traveller we are incarcerated here for almost a year in Studio 2 turning a short story of mine into the first 'rock opera', S.F. Sorrow. 
    Fuelled on acid, night bleeding into day we worked on an idea and a direction that we hoped would give us a reason for staying on and playing on in a business that had become narrow and stale. That's the past, the present has just happened. After the big hand has swept across 30 rainbow years, the original cast reassembled with Mark St John in place of Norman Smith plus added family and friends.
    Tonight we finally got through the universal communication of the internet, to dot the I's and cross the T's....scatter the seeds with Bracelets of Fingers and in front of an audience made up of a scrapbook of faces from the journey performed S. F. Sorrow live. 
    From Studio 2 there came the cry.....
Phil May, Nottinghill Sept. '98
