Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow!
I am reading Richard Dawkins “The Greatest Show On Earth” at the moment. Evolution or Religion? Make up your own mind. A friend of mine asked recently ‘Why God had put most of the Earth’s resources in such troublesome areas?’, he has a point if you have faith. I am not convinced so I am settling uncomfortably on the fence. Whatever your belief, Christmas is a time for family and friends, especially the younger ones as I will experience next year when my granddaughter Sam comes to live with me. This momentous occasion will take all of my expertise and I am determined to rise to the challenge. She will have her parents here too but there will still be plenty of granddad time. She arrived in this world on my 60th birthday which will result in one hell of a party next year! I say all of this because we have performed at around 100 shows this year and though next year is beginning to look similar, I am determined to have a bit more time at home.
I would like to wish all Sweet fans everywhere a very merry christmas and a happy and prosperous (if that is possible) new year. Live each day as if it is the last, treat everyone as you would like to be treated, give a bit more than you take and finally - Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow……because that’s where the huskies go! (Frank Zappa)
I wish you good health because without it there is nothing,
Andy

Nicely put! Evolution or revolution? The former is driven by need - the latter…?
LOVE that Zappa song - from the Apostrophe album, an absolute belter!
We all wish you well too, Andy!
All the best for 2010,

Thanks for your Christmas greetings from this Sweet fan, Andy. A great year in which I saw you in concert.
I was amused to see you quoting Frank Zappa in your blog. He was a legend, as you are yourself, and some of his CD’s sit proudly next to the 50 or so of yours and the rest of Sweet’s in my collection. He was a brilliant guitarist and composer and also one twisted “Mother” (if you’ll excuse the pun).
Hope you are also having a good one.

PS I got your most recent solo CD and have quite enjoyed it, especially the last three tracks. On the down side, it doesn’t have you and the rest of Sweet singing lead like Kudo does, but its still great to have new material from you.
PPS Then again maybe you should just “Shaddap and Play Yer Guitar”. (Another Frank pun - in case you didn’t get it).
