Should we move the link down here a bit? It's getting a bit lost way back at the beginning

Swarb wearing Jills earrings  Shocked Now there would be a sight to behold.

And I'm sure Ces would have smiled (a lot!)

Swarb's name was mentioned several times, from the stage, at Sellersville, Pa.

Each time a cheer went up from the crowd.

Never had the pleasure but seems to be a very poplar fellow.

I haven't heard from the Swarbs in a few weeks either, Paul. I think it's "no news is good news" though - Swarb's just recuperating quietly so there probably isn't much to say.

Thanks for the alert Dianne.
Good to see that Swarb is progressing well still. Sorry to see he is having problems with osteoporosis in his back though, hopefully they will be able to sort that pain out very soon, seems a shame that Swarb can only stare longingly at his freshly tuned piano Wink I have a feeling he won't be staring for long though, because he's a tenacious little b*gger (and thank goodness he is!!)

Are you a plumber or do you know one?  If so, have a look a Swarb's site...

It's about time that the link was posted again.

Just thinking. There's a lot of fiddle playing in country music and that is known for attracting cowboys.  Undecided

Me too. I can change a washer and fix a ball valve, but I think he needs a bit more than that!

If the renovations are needed because of Swarb's illness perhaps they should have a chat with Swarb's occupational therapist to see if anything can be arranged. I know when my elderly gran needed a new bathroom after becoming registered disabled it wasall arranged that way.

Not particularly. They've just bought a new bath and washbasin that need careful, professional fitting.
