📚 Finished reading My Old Man: A Personal History of Music Hall by John Major. A book on this topic is a difficult concept, trying to convey the essence of acts that in many cases can’t be seen on film or heard on audio recordings. The photos and illustrations in the book go a little way to bringing things to life. At times it felt quite dry and textbook-like, but it would then pick up again when the next chapter took a different angle. Aside from the music hall, what stays with me is the author’s childhood memory of accidentally injuring his father and believing that he had caused him long term damage. What a thing to carry with you through your life.
