While
Ken is traversing and marauding the Uplands of Europe, one member
of his entourage is unquestionably missing His Masters Voice.
Pining
for the fjords M Python esq might say.
One
of Santa’s gifts was a new born Black Labrador which Ken has
cunningly named Gypsy. He has been staying at manager Martin Darvill’s
house during the tour / rehearsals, where 10 year old black lab
Horis [Hubert de Bungle MP] has taken Gypsy under his wing so to
speak. Horis is a veteran past master of black labology and is showing
Gypsy the ropes. How to keep oneself fed and watered.
As
these photos demonstrate, Gypsy is blissfully unaware of his significance
within the current year strategy, with tours and recording being
booked around his “jabs” and his obedience training.

Now
then young man, my name is Hubert de Bungle but you can call
me Horis or "Oi". I will teach you how to be a proper
black lab. Now, open wide... Swallow.... Open wide .... Swallow.....Open
wide.....Swallow |
No
that's a dead end, and there's no need to test the damp proof
course. Come Away Gypsy. |

Darvill tests the bonce for reverb and feedback! Now what would
a labrador make of the word "Feedback"? I'm Sure Uncle
Horis Hubert de Bungle MP will be able to explain life according
to Horis. Feedback will do nicely for a start, Dad.

Horis,
Nala and Mabel are bemused. Well, they are credited on the
Running Blind notes and it's their job to teach the new guy
how to be a proper Horis.
|
So,
why are you called Gypsy? Stupid Boy, Pike!

Darvill joins in the acclaim but doesn't wuite get t
he relevance of the 32 year old Heep anthem. Still, Gyp
sy's a far better name than "Ob La Di Ob La Da"

mmm
think I'll try this piece of leg |
