So, You Think Nothing's Happened?

Regular readers of this blog, (how many?) could assume that nobody has performed anything since the beginning of 2011.
Let me assure you that this is not true!

What follows is a comprehensive update of our songs/tunes this year.
I have to thank Ken, with his photographic memory, for assistance in compiling these lists.
(This will take some time and constitutes tedious reading!)

So, there we are up to date again.
I apologise for the occasional question-mark.
Any enlightenment will be greatly appreciated and amendments made.
Criticism of spelling and grammar will be politely ignored!

EPILOGUE:
I am sure that, pursuant upon our MC's precipitate departure at half-time from our most recent gathering, you will all join me in a fervent wish for David's rapid recovery from a severe episode of  'brain-hurt'.
Also, thank you to Paul for taking over the hot seat with such great aplomb and sensitivity.

You are all probably suffering terminal boredom by now, so I'll stop and eagerly anticipate abrasive comments!
