Listening to/Watching a widely-avail Roy Orbison live thing from '86 on Youtube. Not feeling maudlin or anything, honest. But 'it's over and 'running scared' and it's like watching Woody Guthrie to Bob Dylan in respect of Mr Hawley. Just fantastic. I worked with a fabulous guy once the 80's who waxed rhapsodic about RO and I could have gone to a concert. Didn't. You pass these things up, and regret them for ever. Sometimes. Haven't seen the guy since then, but hoping he listens to all Mr Hawley's tunes.
