agony uncle Jim:
__Dear Jim,
I left home for work last week and after less than a mile my car stalled and wouldn't start again.
I walked back home to find my husband in bed with the babysitter.
They finally admitted they had been having an affair for the last 6 months and that they were in love.
Can you help me please, I'm really desperate.
Tina
Dear Tina.
The most common cause of vehicles breaking down in the first mile is dirt in the fuel lines.
If this is not the cause, it could well be the starter motor needs replacing.
Hope you find this helps.
Jim.-

There was an old gent from Strathclyde
Who ate rotten apples and died.
The apples fermented
Inside the lamented
And made cider inside his inside.

These posts are fairly old. What is a reasonable KB for a home studio now?

Nice job with the video. I hope you get some writers giving your approach a proper tryout.

I think it funny because its silly.
If it needs to be a PM it must be something that would violate the boards protocol !
PM if you must, but you know how very sensitive I am.

Journey to Recife – Paul Winter Sextet
This is the 1st tune I played with Vinyl Frontiers.
When I turned up for the audition, they sat me down & began playing this (I didn't know it). Then I was handed a solo. I learned the tune the following week.

So I've decided to try a lyrics-first approach (which I've always been terrified of). I hope it works out, and good luck to you on switching things up!
Great. Its good to try these things. I was flummoxed when I first tried that, but it makes you think about things differently.
Using a rhythm did help me. I'm flying at the moment!

Sounds like you're ready for a vacation Mike. Enjoy that reunion.

I liked Warren, but couldn't describe myself as a fan. Good link, I learned a thing or two.

Blown Out cover this, but ours has become very different and ska-like.

Due to a writing block problem, I need to go about it with a different approach. I am beginning with rhythm, or will be later today. The rhythm will need to be strong enough to provide its own momentum, or a 'groove' if you like.
Part of the present block is to do with lyrics. Lyrics of late have become a mire of possibilities with no clear paths. I will be leaving lyrics to the end, as I used to many ears ago. I will worry about those when the time comes.
Anyone else ever work this way?

Excellent idea. Why wasnt it there already?

About your laptop. Have you considered the use of polarizing sunglasses? If so, you could try that out beforehand.

I imagine you have at least 30 minutes there. With spaces in between, 35 minutes. If you are performing for more than 90 minutes, some or all of these could be done again. After all, you will almost certainly have different traffic passing by then.
It sounds unrealistic to extend this solo method to stuff you still have to learn/arrange. I know its time consuming. It takes a high level of concentration to learn and to perform. Also, I am sure you're aware that if you find it a struggle to do newer stuff at home, it will be twice as hard in a performing environment. That's why some simple improvisation over a riff (ie: looper) could be your salvation. By simple I mean modal.

You might regret not taking the opportunity.
How long have you got before the gig?
How long are you expected to play?
Why not just select those tunes (however few) you are confident with & stick to those?
If you need more, can you use a backing track or two? Or perhaps noodle over a looper? Is BIAB any use there?

I had to search for some specific Portsmouth slang. I didn't know all of them, but these are all very familiar.
http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/people/eight-words-or-phrases-you-ll-hear-in-portsmouth-but-not-in-southampton-1-6958379
The most surprising one is 'Mush'. I had always assumed everybody knew this word.
Here are eight traditional Portsmouth words and sayings you are unlikely to hear at the other end of the M27.
1. Mush
Pronounced Moosh. An old Romany word meaning ‘my good friend’.
2. Dinlo
A lighthearted insult meaning fool. ‘Din’, ‘Dinny’ and ‘dinny dinlo’ are also used. The term apparently has its roots among the Romany gypsies, who still use it.
3. Squinny
To complain, or be a complainer. This term can be used in a number of ways - as a verb: stop sqinnyin!, a noun: ‘stop bein’ a squinny, baby!’ or even as an adjective: ‘she’s well squinny’, meaning ‘she’s a real complainer’.
4. Gettin lairy
What someone is doing if they are losing their patience/temper.
