February 27th - Day 315

Jumble sale and open mic. Together at last, as Homer Simpson might declare. "Going for a Song" was at the back of The Amersham Arms in New Cross. "Are you going to give us a song?" I was asked when I arrived, which, thinking of live music likelihood, was both promising and worrying in equal measure. Fortunately I didn't have to give anyone a song. The organisers of this afternoon's happy fare got the musical side of things underway with songs by Gershwin and Johnny Cash amongst others (1920's to 1960's was the stipulation). I then had to go and get the boy, so didn't find out whether others followed their example, though I did have just enough time to win a multi-coloured cloth purse in the raffle.
