Sir Duke

Yesterday evening Mr A and I went to see Stevie Wonder at the NIA in Birmingham. Truth to tell I had forgotten we were going as so much seems to have been happening lately one way or another.

When Mr A and I met we had in excess of 300 albums between us, and only two of them were duplicated in the entire collection. One was Innervisions, you will never guess in a million years what the other one was because I still can't believe I bought it! (answer at the end of the post)

Mr A doesn't really enjoy live music, he prefers the purity of studio sound, so he and I going to a gig together is a very rare occasion. So we decided to make an afternoon of it and have a lovely walk around the canal network which runs behind the NIA. Obviously I couldn't take photos in the concert itself, so took a few outside of a part of Birmingham that many visitors don't see.

We then had a lovely meal out prior to the concert, which I think it is fair to say that Mr A enjoyed far more than I did.

What's wrong with Bridge over Troubled Water - I was brought up on a saturation diet of S&G?! Glad you had a good day

I'm another Simon and Garfunkle fan i'm afraid, and i just love that particular album, although ihave to say i haven't had it in my posession for some years now, i may have to poke about on Itunes for it ;o)
Glad you enjoyed your concert :o)

That part of Birmingham has changed beyond all recognition over the last twenty years - and more! Lovely photos.
