So far I've got away with it, I'll check back in 100 or so pages of posts though

Stu Hamm 1-0 Flea as far as I'm concerned

Boo, go listen to Joni Mitchell's Hejira

And joining us on bass tonight

Where are you shopping? I'm in Block A1 at around £100.

Assuming it's legit, first anounced gig is in San Diego in September: https://www.ticketmaster.com/beat-belew-vai-levin-carey-san-diego-california-09-17-2024/event/0A00605B216A46C9 Of the two newbies(! DC at 62, Vai is 63), Vai doesn't seem quite the right fit, but he's not new to guitaring and I'm sure if he practices hard between now and then he'll get the hang of the fiddly bits

Jazz Notes

Daphne Blue x3 (sorry for practice room tat)

And a 130 on a 4-string?

So many questions about the restringing.

I'll just leave this here for your consideration https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1441261553406098

This just floated past on the No Treble facebook feed. From last year, but it's Cory Wong and band, with Sonny T. and some bloke called Victor sits in as well.

As it should be - Lemmy's statue in his home town of Burslem, Stoke on Trent has been given the go-ahead - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjqj8l8qgwno Some have said it's Overkill, but this will be the Kiss Of Death to that kind of talk once the statue is Hammered into place.

Their best album is Lateralus (listen to it in the "Holy Gift" running order - see https://tonedeaf.thebrag.com/tools-secret-mind-blowing-album-the-holy-gift/list/check-out-the-title-track-below/ - regardless of the hokum around the fibonacci theory, it makes for a better listen if you ask me) Having said that my favourite Tool song (Forty Six & 2) is on Aenima, which gets pretty heavy musically and conceptually towards the end. SBL recently featured this analysis of a bunch of songs, which will open the doors to best JC lines from these and other albums if you can bear the presentation style:

Or just do what Bob Fripp does and pop one finger on the F on the low E string, pinky at the 7th fret without breaking a sweat. I'm sure the two middle fingers could be persuaded to do something useful if needed

hope this helps

I was once in a four-piece band where at no point were the four band members ever in the same room at the same time. That was around 1996. As far as I know we're still together.

Mine arrived today, obviously prompted by my previous post

The BRM Facebook feed goes back to October 2014. If anything dodgy is afoot, that's quite the long game.

Anyone got theirs yet? Still awaiting issue 1 after placing an order a couple of weeks ago.

Harmonica?

Marcus Miller has been announced for Ronnie Scott's, July 10th-13th, two shows a night. Each show is 75 minutes. Prices as follows: Priority £160 Standard £125 Restricted £100 https://www.ronniescotts.co.uk/find-a-show/marcus-miller

recent albums Hidden Details and Other Doors are pretty good, and make up a significant chunk of current setlists. Regarding that middle bit - start with Bundles and Floating World Live and you'll be very well placed.

The current set prominently features a favourite from Third (despite of course no one in the current line-up being in the Third line-up!) I saw them at New Cross Inn a couple of weeks ago, excellent.

Further embarassments of riches coming up in London: Mike Stern at Ronnie's with Hadrien Feraud Modern Standards Supergroup at the Forge with Felix Pastorius Vincen Garcia at the Jazz Cafe Kinga Glyk at the Jazz Cafe Ida Neilsen at the Jazz Cafe Nik West at the Jazz Cafe Mononeon at Amazing Grace (a) just got to decide on which to see and (b) time to think about that Jazz Cafe membership
