I have long admired Magna Carta. Bought the early singles and albums back in 60s and 70s .......Followed the band for years but never did see them..........Moved to NL and found that Magna toured regularly................Mrs Gryphon bought me tickets to see then finally a few years back in Herelen ( NL) I share aback ground with Chris Simpson, we both come from the same part of Yorkshire....................... I had just opened a 5 Star Bed and Breakfast in NL with Mrs Gryphon ...........So went over to him and in my broad Yorkshire dialect asked Chris was he from Yorkshire ..............and could I have an autograph for my Lord of he Ages CD.................Arranged to see him after he concert got he autograph and invited him to us at our B and B ........................Came home from work about 10 days later and Mrs Gryphon told me he had booked in for a few weeks later. He appeared as arranged ..............We had a great time with him and his current partner..........and we have been firm friends every since................he has visited us many times and Ive been up to Yorkshire to see him too
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )
