"Sid the Rocker"

“Sid the Rocker”

My wife and I were invited away for the weekend to our friends timeshare. Sid spent most of the time that he wasn’t braaiing practising his chords. He decided about two years ago that because he didn’t have the time to learn the guitar when he was a teenager, he’d learn it now at the age of sixty something. All power to him. I started painting about six months ago.

I wonder how long it takes to be a brain surgeon, not long if the specialists in this country are anything to go by. Maybe I can take a six month mail order course from the University of Havana.

I think I’ll stick to painting, and eagerly await Sid’s first album.


Cheers
Bob
