Gardner Writes

Aut Inveniam, Aut Faciam

I’ve got a Gibson without a case,

But I can’t get that even tanned look on my face.

Ill-fitting clothes, and I blend in the crowd;

Fingers so clumsy, voice too loud.

But I’m one.

I am one.

And I can see that this is me,

And I will be,

You’ll all see….

excerpt from “I’m One,” by Pete Townshend.

From Quadrophenia (1973).

I can see the real you, Doctor, Doctor!!

An all time favorite memory was watching Quadrophenia in your home. Can we go back, Jack, do that again?

@Alan oh yes, we must. Good times. I wish they still gave the Quadrophenia tour in Brighton that I got to go on in 2003. Between Brighton and Beano’s (now sadly gone and much missed), Townhouse Studios and the BBC, that was one heck of a study trip.
