Love, laughter and literature – Leigh, Eric and Andrea welcome you all to a bit of self-preservation

Howdyado everybody! Welcome aboard Leigh’s preservation society – it’s become a bit of a runaway since surrealist writer Eric Lastick began steering! Thanks mate!

However, some people are a bit confused by the intention of the site The Leigh G Banks Preservation Society – Surviving life with laughter, literature and love… but the answer is really there in the title.

It all began during Covid when we were living and working in Central Europe… our news agency, broadcasting and events business caught the bug and died.

But we wanted to save some of the work we’d been doing, and The Preservation Society was born – the clue came from this very old brilliant song The Kinks – The Village Green Preservation Society – YouTube

New members have asked why other news – other than about Dylan – appears on the site … well, the original site was there to stand up for people who were having problems and we began to focus on Parental Alienation, problems with child support. And of course, Bob Dylan!

So, some news of the day, like the Ukraine, Trump, ‘Richy’ Sunak, PA stories and different things do appear … they are worth reading and commenting on.

And so is the work by The Society’s resident writer Eric Lastick, he is one of the best surrealists I’ve been involved in many years …

Then of course there is my writing on Dylan, my true literary, rock n roll and cerebral hero for more decades than I care to remember.

The site is also there to get Eric’s writing and mine to people and we are happy for people to send their thoughts, pictures, writings, songs etc etc etc for publication, possibly on the site. What we won’t do however is baldy promote businesses, publications that have no story to tell, other than they want to sell you something.

Once again, thank you for joining us and let’s share some literature, laughter and love!

Cheers everybody!
