[What are your favorite Oldies?]

'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'

 

 

[What is your biggest singing struggle?]

I'm with JustSoulin. I'd like to be able to sing instead of attempting to sing.

[electric violin from 1936]

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.

Peggy,

Sadly cant see the video for Parker's Mood (from uk anyway). Enjoyed the Taj Mahal though.

The batteries on the GoPro, which was directed towards the actual eclipse, died before the actual eclipse so I missed that.

 

Forget batteries, solar power is best for catching the eclipse.

[Time To Switch To Twitter]

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.

[Rock music is dead, now what?]

To me, ragtime isn't even dead.

I dont care who buys what or what doesnt sell.

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.

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.

[Music Festivals]

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.

Hope the new ones last just as long … assuming you get them … assuming you've been good this year. 

 

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.

[All I Want For Christmas Is........]

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

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.

thought you liked to play Madness and other stuff that was definitely pop when I was a kid? I might be wrong, maybe  thinking of the wrong member... although you playing it doesn't necessarily mean you rate it anyway  

 

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.
