Other people's dreams can send you to sleep, but your own are fascinating. So let us tell you all about ours... zzzzzzz...

And are we past the stage of having aims and ambition? Jon would like to be driven everywhere, while Dave dreams of being inoffensive.!

What we did in our spare time: collecting stamps, cards and a "very interesting" badge, pressing flowers (!), plus a load of all manure (no, not this podcast). And why we didn't go trainspotting or join the Scouts.

First a surprise party, recording our lives on film - photobooth comedy and bad camera work, The need to crop out undesirables.

We discuss birthdays with friends and swap tales of the best and worst ages to be, jelly and cake, inflatable bananas and a shocking birthday present.

This episode begins with some "Old Guy Moaning Stuff" about much formulaic modern music, auto-tuning of vocals and whether musicians keep performing live for too long. But then we cheer up discussing favourite instruments and vocalists, the inspiration behind break-up songs and the records we've played the most times throughout our lives.

Music then and now, good and bad decades then and now and who we wished we'd seen (and wished we hadn't!)

Were The Incredible String Band really incredible? Did Amazing Blondel live up to their name? And were Dire Straits dire?

Plus the time Jon and Dave joined a band live onstage - and how Jon paid the cost!

In a slight detour from our usual format we discuss our Music tastes and distastes.

Our hosts reminisce about growing up in a musical wasteland, about Dansettes and radiograms, package tours and sampler albums, and about everything from Irish rebel songs to Gary Glitter.

Learn how Jon lost his pocket money betting against the popularity of Herman's Hermits and why Dave hid his first purchased album from his Father.

Memories of ray gun torches, Subbuteo, train sets and 'clicky-ba'... Happy days(or was that just the effects of the accidental glue-sniffing?)

How well do we know each other? Was Dave saved by a burly Greek sailor? Would Jon spike somebody's coffee with laxative? And can Dave do camp and Scottish?

... or odd shoes and eggs? We recall some pranks that backfired, plus vegetables (and old ladies) who smell.
