This one came all the way from London back in the early 80s, courtesy of a college buddy. It got me thinking about my "uniforms" throughout my years; high black converse, various black clothing, long green trench coat, rockin' roll buttons, band shirts, NRBQ hat, black and white two tone shoes, black cowboy boots, 50s looking salvation army shirts, etc. Some of these items are still in the back of my closet. Wonder if I still have a uniform.

I really loved the early Pete Townsend solo records. Over the past couple of years I became obsessed with finding acoustic Pete music. I think I dug out the Secret Policeman's Ball record from 1979, and fell back in love with his acoustic versions of several Who songs he does on the record. Then I started searching for more.

Here is "Drowned" from the Secret Policeman's Ball record http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t9slqL_eSw .

While poking around tonight on the net I found this, "If I Was a Carpenter" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUmXllDGPFw&feature=related . It's from a record called Pete Townsend, The Road House, London, April 14th 1974.Not sure if the record is all acoustic, but I will find out.
