But Who Is He ?

The Grey Man is fine-tuning years of singing, playing and learning music by ear. For those ears shared the rumble of the passenger jet AirBrakes carried on the prevailing SW wind as it rattled through the last of the Clyde shipyards. Barely a stone-skim from Faslane's secret nuclear arsenal and the intense looming spectre of annihilation. But those heady, hitchhiking days, a guitar on his back and a cat in his jacket were he discovered the remedy; so many cool, fun and warm people out there and were all in the same little boat. It was there with those people, the festivals, jams, parties and sing-songs that he learned to feel the magic of the moment and so he would play all night.
