42
(Aug 2012). If you've read the book "Hitchhiker's Guide t o the Galaxy"
by Douhlas
Adams,
or seen the film, you'll know that the answer to the question "What's
the meaning of life, the universe and everything?" is..."42". This
little ditty attempts to answer some of the other questions that have

Diggin' Up The Fishponds Road (July 2012)
My comment on the seemingly never-ending traffic "improvements" going
on along the Fishponds Road. Recorded by Dave Hares at the Hermit
Studio, Fishponds July 2012. Features Dave Hares on slide guitar and
Dave Hooper on industrial percussion sounds. Workmen's chorus by all
three of us...and now the cones have started to appear furtively after
dark... (recorded & produced by Dave Hares at the Hermit Studio, Fishponds)
