Tim Dowling: my banjo is out of tune, and the gig is falling apart
Briefly

Nostalgic use of jokes and anecdotes in a band performance enhances audience engagement and creates a sense of connection.
The gig in Birmingham goes surprisingly well; I am only obliged to dip into my waistcoat pocket once.
This anecdote is so well-worn I don't need the bit of paper sitting in my right breast pocket. I've told it 50 times over the past two years.
Reliably informed, says the piano player in the Travelodge afterward. Like you had spies tracking her. I was ad-libbing, I say.
