The gun's still warm

taken from the song twilight zone, by my favorite Dutch band ( started 1961 ...)

ending a 5 day goodbye concert set to friends and fans in Rotterdam

I like your choice in music Rick.

How about this one:-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hwb8C2TijYE

his thievin Jenny stole his rapier.

[Rick]

I love that song, and it's best when played by a traditional band.
The vocalist (his name escapes me) has left us along with Shane Magowan.

Both of them 'men you don't meet every day'. :(

[A. G. Maisey]

Rick, a lot of music is best played when played by Irishmen, and women too.
