Goodbye, Ivor

Ivor Cutler is dead. I discovered this while reading newspapers after a meal in Hendersons. Both the Guardian and the Telegraph have good obituaries.

Sorry, but I just didn't "get" Ivor, despite a couple of introductions to his work.

To be fair, I don't get a huge amount of comedy, and Ivor was no exception. I'd sit there, stoney faced, while Ivor's strange lilting "funny" voice would come out of the speakers, telling some "funny" tale and leaving me cold...

Ce sera sera.

It helps to be Glaswegian. And maybe Jewish. It actually took me a good while to become a fan (a concept that he would almost certainly dislike).
