    Well Arr&bee, I have to say that making contact with HM just at the moment could be tricky.

    Very busy, as you know, with all those photo shoots, 'now that one has become a great-grandmother for the eighth time'.

    Hmmm. Any thoughts of yours made to the current head of state about annexing Canada, together with those words "say there were an overthrow", would surely be met with a very stern 'one is not amused' expression.

    Then add to that all the time she currently spends on polishing the cutlery for President Trump's state visit, and it might be best to tread very warily.

    I'd better make enquiries about a surprise invitation to a Buckingham Palace summer garden party.

    Perhaps we could all attend as part of a national 'Motown Revisits UK Tour' - presented by the Soulful Detroit Revue players and full supporting company.

    A very long shot for actually meeting HM, but you never know....

    Quote for the Day:

    "We took our time and worked out what the three guitars were going to do, especially in the beginning. I did quite a bit of ad lib, because I had more of a blues feel, and my head was full of everything.

    Robert [[White) was a good rhythm guy, and Joe [[Messina) often went note-for-note with the bass. I would ad lib in and out, never covering up anybody.

    We had to play according to the record, you know - you didn't want to jam it up with a bunch of crap."

    Quote for the Day:

    " Berry Gordy is an absolute genius. You have to remember that at Motown, you had a lot of performers who had never had anything in their lives.

    All of a sudden, you get a check that's worth more than you could possibly ever imagine.

    So what you do is go out and spend it all, as you should not do, because in your mind you think there's a lot more coming.

    What happens then is you end up blaming another individual, for your own mistakes.

    Before I came to Motown, I had already worked for a number of record companies. I knew how the game could be played.

    And I'm here to tell you that Gordy and Motown did all they could, for all of us."
