  1. 'Good Friend of Mine' - Family The song is the B side of their single 'No Mules Fool'. I liked 'No Mules Fool' but loved 'Good Friend of Mine'
  2. I'm with JustSoulin. I'd like to be able to sing instead of attempting to sing.
  3. It has the period 'wrapped around strings' pickup. Other than that, the body styling looks completely modern. Electro-String of course was later re-named Rickenbacker.
  4. Note engines behind backdrop Thanks for feeding & watering us firefighters.
  5. Peggy, Sadly cant see the video for Parker's Mood (from uk anyway). Enjoyed the Taj Mahal though.
  6. Thanks Rob. That's a proper welcome man. Cheers
  7. Forget batteries, solar power is best for catching the eclipse.
  8. I just had a look at Jenn's link. I have also read the Wiki description of Twitter. I understand what I've read. But I still dont understand the relevance of Twitter really. I can get all the news and coms I need already.
  9. La PistolA y El Corozon - Los Lobos my favourite band
  10. To me, ragtime isn't even dead. I dont care who buys what or what doesnt sell.
  11. Happy Yuletide I dont really want anything BTW
  12. Xmas: I'm done I think. Unless I get a card from someone I forgot. Everything even more simplified this year with minimal effort. Less food, less booze. All in attempt to claw back sensible proportion. Some people I know have told tales of Xmas excess that I find shocking. Usually to do with booze. Like one workmate who within minutes of rising Xmas morning has a drink in each hand of 2 different sorts of booze, or another who downs a whole bottle of spirit in the one day. If I'm honest, I drank most of a bottle of rum at Xmas once, but I was 18 with a stronger stomach & a stupid level of confidence.
  13. Blown Out at Purbrook last week. Pics by Leanne (except the setting up one by yours truly)
  14. A rearrangement of a guitar instrumental as a song. Its all in my head and the only coherent words are 'do it again'. No, its nothing like the Beach Boys song of the same name.
  15. Theres a small annual one close to where I live (Wickham). I may go next year, even if I dont know any of the artists. Big proper festivals. No. They are a young persons thing IMO.
  16. Have I been good? Actually I think I might have been; yes! It wont cut any ice with that Claus character. I told him off once in Chichester in front of witnesses. I'm blacklisted man.

    performance

    I played very poorly at the last gig (last week). I was using my preferred guitar of the moment and my old faithful Fender amp, but the sound was all wrong. It may have been because the people were mostly pretty far back from the band. We were on a high-ish stage too. The sound wasn't the usual warm subtle tone I am used to. It was stark & harsh. A poor tone limits what I can play. Some people dont understand that. I dont fully understand it myself but I cant change it. Fortunately everyone else was pretty good and we seemed to go down ok. Theres another gig next Wednesday. If I take a different guitar its as if I have given up on it. Like I dont trust it. Not sure what to do at the moment. A bit of actual practice might help!
  18. A new instrument lead. Couple of older ones (20 years old) are starting to fail. They get medals for service over & above the call of duty. I guess old leads dont die; they just fall out of love with the signal. Oh.. and a microfibre cloth

    hiatus

    I am not taking any sides here nor wish to be associated with any opinion I have not personally expressed, but I am much saddened by the departure of TapperMike. As such I really dont feel like participating here at present, so I wont be around for a while. If anyone wants to criticize me now, I wont be here to offer a defense. So fill your boots.
  20. I have played a lot of stuff I dont care for. Fortunately most of it has been changed to interpretations I can like. Meanwhile, keep on coming MS.
