Leonard Cohen - Waiting for the Miracle 

[mitjalovse]

John Philip Shenale can be truly found anywhere. Yes, he did show up on many interesting places. Thus – him being a part of a Buddy Guy record? Sure, why not? Still, we should be more careful of the LP by the famous blues master Mr. Shenale was on, because the disc isn't really of the genre Mr. Guy was good at. Yes, Feels Like Rain reminds me of all those 90's platters the elder statesmen of their idioms did to prove they continued to be a commercial force to be reckoned with, i.e. Supernatural by Santana remains a perfect example of this. However, Buddy Guy's collection of songs doesn't suck, since you could use such long plays as an introduction. Nonetheless, you would be better off to check some of Mr. Guy's earlier stuff.

“The Ridiculous Life of a Non-League Chairman”

WRITING a successful funny book on football is no easy task, as I know only too well. Something that raises a lot of laughs when it happens, or when recounted at the bar top over a few beers, often draws looks of total indifference sometime later when it appears in print.

And you’ll inevitably find it compared with the magnum opus that is Fred Eyre’s “Kicked into Touch”.

"Nowhere to Run", the new book by Ashton United co-chairman Jonathan Sayer, differs from the traditional style. Rather than being a collection of humorous anecdotes, it's a novel based on funny stories, many of which, by the author's own admission, have been embellished and exaggerated.

Names, on the whole, have been changed "to protect the innocent" but anyone who's familiar with Ashton United, or the Tameside non-league scene, should be able to work out who they are, even though the author insists none of his characters are faithful representations.

First-team manager Jamie Benshaw — a free-scoring striker with a mop of blond hair — has to be Jody Banim. Harry "Robbo" Roberts — a tall ex-police officer — chimes with Steve "Hobbo" Hobson. Club president Reginald Timpkins is the legendary Ronnie Thomasson. Tony Liverstout must be an amalgam of Terry Hollis and Terry Liversidge. You can work the rest out for yourself.

Interestingly, Mike Clegg gets his real name. His successor Steve Cunningham becomes Jamie Cunningham. I suspect the book was pretty much complete by the time Ashton changed managers at the start of the year

"Nowhere to Run" is a tale which does exactly what it says on the tin - well, cover. It recounts the ridiculous life of the chairman of a semi-professional football outfit. It's not uproariously funny, but it does make you smile and want to turn over the next page.

Its greatest success is how it allows the average supporter see a club through the eyes of owners. As fans, we know how we feel, and we have, or at least thinke we have, a good idea of the management and players. But what of the chairmen, the people so often viewed as inept and responsible for creating problems rather than solving them?

Jonathan gives us more than a peep behind the curtain. And he accepts the low-esteem in which directors are held. The book starts with a quote from Bill Shankly: "At any football club there's a holy trinity: the players, the manager and the supporters. The directors don't come into it. They are only there to sign cheques."

I'd often wondered what it was like to sack a manager. "Nowhere to Run" supplies a blow-by-blow account not only of what happens when the axe falls, but also the dilemma owners face when coming to their decision. Should they show faith and give the boss time to turn things round? Or should they act before things get even worse and it's too late?

Jonathan even admits to being scared of how the manager might react — something I've often wondered about considering some of the managers I've dealt with over the last 40-plus years.

We also get an inside view of the appointment process, which is something clubs tend to keep very secret in these days where they release news through anodyne social media statements rather than through a dedicated reporter from the local rag.

"Nowhere to Run" shows it really is true that people will askfor a job fully believing their success at the Football Manager video game is ample qualification to lead a Northern Premier League side. Sorting through dozens of applications is no easy task. The book also confirms that former Curzon boss John Flanagan was interviewed. He has to be Jim Finnigan who managed local rivals.

All the bitter disappointments and euphoric highs of running a non-league outfit are laid bare: buying (too much) kit, placating stroppy long-time supporters, dealing with the council, and the chaos that passes for wages and finances. The constant stream of phone calls, texts and WhatsApp messages, each on a different topic.

"Nowhere to Run" is a warm, gentle and funny read that underlines the Burke family's love for Ashton United and their genuine desire to see the club do well.

Anyone with knowledge of the semi-professional game should enjoy it. If you don't have knowledge, believe me, the stories are based on fact. I have personal experience of the mayhem that passes for everyday life in non-league land. I still bear the scars from meetings that have featured long, long arguments over buying an extra dozen pies for Saturday's derby match.

Whether Jonathan really drove to Bashley in Hampshire rather than Basford in Nottinghamshire, is another matter entirely.

"Nowhere to Run" by Jonathan Sayer, published by Bantam Books, will be published on August 10. 20 per cent of all proceeds will go to Ashton United in perpetuity.

Eric Selby’s “Horseshoes & Hand Grenades” Inspires Living Life Your Way

When not being a single Dad to four awesome daughters, Eric Selby is a sought-after artist, producer and multi-instrumentalist, previously behind the  drumkit and mixing board. Now, he’s in the front writing his own music. 

Eric has been recognized for his steller songwriting and folk hooks. In 2022, he was named a Finalist by the WAMMIE AWARDS for Best Folk Artist, Best Folk Album, Best Folk Song, and Best Pop Song. Roots Music Report listed both of Eric’s releases, the EP Do, Baby and his album Where You Born At? as their National Top Contemporary Folk Album Chart’s Best of 2021. And that’s all just 2022...

His new single, “Horseshoes & Hand Grenades” is a folk and country song about living life to it’s fullest. It has a twang like Crosby Stills Nash and Young meets the rock of Warren Haynes. 

Life is going to happen, the question is whether you are going to be an observer of it or a participant. You can’t always rely on others to be in your corner, you must plan and execute your life your way because the promises and intent of others are often thrown around without care. “Love can be the same way,” says Eric. “Protect yourself, advocate and communicate your thoughts and feelings because, ‘hearts get broken with precision of horseshoes and hand grenades.’”

Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/track/6nrkpHvajjiitzb5mEb3be?si=edcf376e08784eaf

Eric has performed live and recorded with many talented artists, including Allison Russell, Billy Thompson, Don Chapman, Ron Holloway, Daryl Johnson, James East, Warner Williams, Drink Small, Bill Payne, Lenny Castro, and Mike Finnigan, to name a few.
