Brilliant thank you! It really was an amazing performance in Bilbao a few weeks ago...Alex and his mates did a great job organising it all. Mike and the band + backing singers all incredible...a few of us there were lucky enough to sit and chat with him in the hotel for a good half hour or more..a really lovely man and what a voice! I'll post a couple photos later if I can. Cheers, Steve

Agreed, Andy. "You Put it On My Mind" is superb but we didn't get round to talking about it for some reason. I'll play it on a forthcoming show, though.

Part 2 is now posted, Jaco: https://taylorws.podomatic.com/entry/2015-11-17T03_20_47-08_00
