The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.

Ronnie James Dio RIP
Ronnie James Dio, late of Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Dio and Heaven and Hell.
My brother was a Sabs fan when I was a wean, I remember him going to Bingley Hall in Bradford to watch them, I wonder if he still has the poster he bought. It's funny how your siblings influence your taste in music even though I ploughed my own furrow so to speak. I watched that video and was amazed I knew the words (and played air guitar at the right times!) it must be 25-30 years since I heard it.
