Ray’s Chat Number 6

Hi Folks.
So: Here we are still in August 2023: As I write this:
BUT: I am looking Forward to September. When the Folk Club
will start again.
Oh YES That will Be So Good..
And I know That Simeon has booked some GREAT GUESTS
for the coming Club Season. You won’t want to miss any of
those. Hope to See You There!!
And WOW!! What a Year, so far!! .
From Raging Rain Storms, More Rain in August,
Than EVER known before;
To:: The Hottest Weather We have EVER Known.!!
And Some Counties ::Earthquakes!!
That MUST Be One of the Most AWFUL DISASTERS To have to
cope with!! When Your Home has GONE and Everything
around You is Destroyed.

So I am NOT going to moan about OUR Weather..
(Well Maybe a little Moan)..
But be Thankful We have Not been in a Disaster Area.
And NOW They have found that THE SEA IS HOTTING-UP!!
Crazy: Crazy World
It’s like EVERYTHING HAS GONE CRAZY .
And this is What May and June are
thinking:

Oh May; What a Crazy World We are Living-In?
Oh for the Old Days. When Winter was Frost and Snow (and
FOG).. And AUGUST was SUN Time Holiday Time.
But This Year, August went CRAZY!! Every time I went into the
Garden; it rained on Me!!
Yes June: It does seem The Whole World Weather has
Gone Crazy!! Dreadful Earthquakes.. Forest Fires..
And THE SEA is Hotting-Up!!.
And they say that it is going to get Worse!!

Oh May: What will we Do?

Well June: I can tell you, Henry and Me are NOT
Booking Anything!! No:
We have decided We will Take it; as it Comes:
Book a Coach trip Somewhere if the Sun Shines.
Have Days Out.. Doing Local things, like Morris Dancing:
Enjoy Our Own Country: Look out for Local Festivals.

Oh May: Yes. Enjoy Our Own Country..
Well Yes I’ll talk to Joe, and Maybe We can Do things
Together.. The Four of US: Yes I’d Like that.
YES Enjoy OUR OWN COUNTRY.

AND June; I’ve just thought: IF FRED could extend and
have a Games Area:
FREDS could Be the New Place to Be!!

AND NOW FOR TH LAST PAGE
I have a Phone Friend: (A Lady.. Never Met Her,
(We just chat Once a Week).
We chat about this and that; And I give Her projects to
Explore; About FOLK: She is loving it.
Her Project this week is to explore:
3 Versions of the same Song:
First: Sandy Denny
Who Knows Where Time Goes-BBC John Peel Sessions.
Then:
Kate Wolf – Who Know Where Time Goes
And
Eva Cassidy – Who Knows Where Time Goes (acoustic).

I wonder Which YOU would Choose?
I am Happy to say Shirley Folk Club is the Friendliest Folk
I have ever belonged to.
I look forward to Many more WONDERFUL Evenings with You..
OH YES SHIRLEY FOLK CLUB.
is going to be THE PLACE TO BE.
SEE YOU THERE.
Thanks Everyone.
