I agree about Jenn's song. Wonderful. 

[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.

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.

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.

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

@Jenn my wife got me into interpol! They're great!

 

I'll look 'em up next time I'm in Lyon.

[What are you listening to at the moment?]

'My Name is Buddy' Ry Cooder album.

 

Its folksie, political and blunt, except of course for when its not.

 

Buddy is a working class ginger tomcat in a depression setting. His dearest pal is a mouse 'Lefty'. The cat & mouse thing seems a way of addressing a class & race devide.

 

Its on louder than usual due to air conditioner white noise. Its hot today. Too hot to work or spend too long outside.

Interesting euphemism for the drubbing you guys got.

 

It goes around doesnt it? After that war you marched to Canada to liberate them from the British. But they liked us and kicked yer ass all the way back home again.

Congratulations Rudi !

You get the award for the most bizarrely obscure song-association.

For what it's worth, I do not believe there's a human being on the face of the earth who would have guessed that connection.

Yes. Near impossible for non-uk folk. Its a reference to Cricket. An 'over' is a set of six consecutive bowls delivered to the batsman.
