(or maybe thats just me)You begin to say "A pox on you!" to people who tick you off!You actually begin to think that Jon's cadbury's cream egg, pumpkin substitute is a "Good Idea"!!!!You have printed out all your S&Bphotos and stuck the one of you with them in pride of place on your wallYou look at it everday, and itstillmakes you happy!Your desktop background is Spiers&Boden/Bellowhead related (mine is Songs cover)You wonder justhowsqueezy, squeezy really isYou actually go and squeeze, squeezy at the next gig (I dare ya!)In your mind you play comparative anatomy with Jon (la la la, happy thoughts)You have to jump to their honour if someone calls them sad (e'g unenlightened miscreants who listen to chart music....shudder)and threaten to poke said miscreant with shiny morris sword/stick for their hideous slander!You know when every different instrument comes in on every song on E.P.onymousMost of the pictures in your My Pictures file are of S&B/BellowheadYou have downloaded the video footage of them at the folk awards and saved it to your desktop where it happily loops when playedYou have no other artists in your car/mp3/harddriveYou are beginning to learn/have learned an instrument just because they have inspired youYou count down the days to the next gig the same night you leave oneYou are STILL reading this!!!!You now know that the accordion, concertina, melodeon and fiddlearethecoolest instrumentsever!You knew it was Jon that said "hup!" in Old Woman Tossed Up In A Blanketbeforethey mentioned it on the online Bellow sleeve notesYou ask yourboyfriend why he can't be more like eitherS or B !Well? are you obessed?Please feel free to add on to the lislt if you can think of anything i have missed.cheers!!well done for hanging on till the bitter end!

Yes, OK. But I'm the Wild Woman In Tree. Before that I was (still am) the 4th Beekeeper. And I've always ben Countess R (well, for nearly 3 years anyway) but I'm extremely bored with it because peeps ask me to EXPLAIN it. Why? Doesn't EVERYBODY know Child #68? Apparently not. Why?



Yes, I know every note on the CDs. When I see them live, I watch for variations and discuss them with anyone who'll listen. My neighbour is beginning to like 'Derry Gaol'. My cats are getting used to DADA tuning. I've decided to sing like Rachael McShane cos she's dead good. I have vague dreams of being in a duo with Giles Lewin but of course it will never happen cos Vivienne Ellis is just so, so good. What else? No, I don't have a B'head T-shirt. Far too bloody expensive ;-) And on the clothing front, it never previously occurred to me to think about Jon in tights (good grief, just as I typed this, 'Horn Fair' came on fRoots radio):

Ach! This nae applys to me... but to think of all those people that it does apply to! Jon & John, you must be flattered.



Strange subject for a forum topic, though.

Hello Salterelle,


 


I hope you are just referring to the fact that Child Morris is described as being dashing and tremendously attractive, and not to the fact that he gets his head cut off! I wouldn't want that to happen to Jon!!  Although it would make him blessedly shorter!!
