Have you thought of investing in the consistency of in-ear monitoring..? ...

I hope (in fact, I'm sure...) that I'm not the 'target audience' for this, as, to be utterly frank, I didn't enjoy it much at all. Nothing radically wrong with the production as such, except for the all-too-often indecipherable lyrics; the actual recording quality stands on its feet. No, it's the composition itself and its arrangement that I couldn't latch on to. That whining 'hook' instrument (What is it, an electric violin..? A bombarde..? A stuck pig..?), the 'drone' effect and the lack of 'going anywhere' made it difficult to get through to the end. The looped video didn't help, but that's secondary. I don't think I'd stay for long at a concert of stuff like this. I thought I recognised echoes of Manzarek in the keys solo, though, so that's alright. Well done, of course, for having made the contacts and got the gigs together (no easy feat, so kudos...), and congratulations for getting your music 'out there' at all. I'm not much of a modern media type, and don't do this 'ere facebook lark 'n all, but good luck with it all. Sorry I couldn't be kinder; put it down to me being an old curmudgeon and carry on carrying on.

Good evening, Zal, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Good evening, NTNM, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Well, I wouldn't go so far as to say it's hateful, but no, I certainly didn't love it.

Shades of RATM in there somewhere. Not bad for a threesome; have a 'thumb's up'...

I think this must require a very specific mindset to be able to sink into it and 'enjoy' it. I don't seem to have such a mindset. I also had great trouble trying to follow the lyrics. Not for me, I'm afraid.

Nor's four years ago..!

Oh, well, if it's ancient history being posted, here's me playing my Verithin in the village square, with our singster playing my drums. 2003 (who knows where the time goes..? )...

Indeed, a walking bass line..!

Good afternoon, JB, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Been there, done that, tee-shirt etc... It's the first forty years that are the worst, after which things sometimes tend to get slightly better.

There's a list of 'Recommended Luthiers...' here on this very forum... If you give your location (edit your profile..?) someone could perhaps suggest a few..? Just sayin'.

Wot, U2..?

Good morning, CT, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. Is your lad shy..? It sounds as if he's big enough be able to type stuff himself, and he'd be welcome here also. Facebook..? Facebook..? Hmm... It rings a bell, I think... Facebook..? Ah yes, that new-fangled thingie for the youf of today..! Many old fogies, such as myself, have looked at it briefly, then looked away. Different folks, different strokes, of course.

I hear you, brudder.

Here you are, Sir. Enjoy your meal.

Here we are, Sir; sorry for the delay... A man died and went to heaven, and met St. Peter who was showing him around heaven, and they came across various groups of people. There was one large group who were Presbyterians, and the man asked who these people were? Peter said these are the people who were chosen from every kindred, nation, tongue, and people. There was another group that consisted of Catholics and a few other ecumenical groups, and Peter said that these are a group of people who are surprised to be here. Then there was this very small group all the way over by themselves in their exclusive little corner of heaven, and the man asked "Who are these people..?" These are the Seventh-day Adventists, and they think they are the only ones who are here in heaven." Several churches in the South decided to hold union services. The leader was a Baptist and proud of his denomination. "How many Baptists are here?" he asked on the first night of the revival? All except one little old lady raised their hands. "Lady, what are you..?" asked the leader. "I'm a Methodist," meekly replied the lady. "Why are you a Methodist..?" queried the leader? "Well," replied the little old lady, "my grandparents were Methodists, my mother was a Methodist, and my late husband was a Methodist." "Well," retorted the leader, "just supposing all your relatives had been morons, what would that have made you..?" "Oh, I see. A Baptist, I suppose," the lady replied meekly.

Just a minute; I'll consult the kitchen. Would you like soup in the meantime, Sir..?

Greek Orthodox blague..? Coming right up, Sir ... An Orthodox man gets on the train and takes his seat. After a while, he notices an Orthodox Cross on the man next to him. After a while longer he asks, "Sir, I couldn't help noticing you're wearing an Orthodox Cross. Are you an Orthodox Christian..?" The passenger answers, "Yes, I am." The man says, "Oh..! I am too! Are you Greek or Russian Orthodox..?" "I'm Greek Orthodox." The man says, "Ohhh, so am I..! Are you Old Calendar Greek Orthodox or New Calendar Greek Orthodox..?" " I'm Old Calendar Greek Orthodox." The man says, "Alleluia! I am too..! Are you Old Calendar Anti-Ecumenist Greek Orthodox or Old Calendar Pro-Ecumenist Greek Orthodox..?" "I'm Old Calendar Anti-Ecumenist Greek Orthodox." The man says, "Ooooh..! Well, I am too! Are you Old Calendar Anti-Ecumenist New Ritualist Greek Orthodox, or Old Calendar Anti-Ecumenist Old Ritualist Greek Orthodox..?" "I'm Old Calendar Anti-Ecumenist New Ritualist Greek Orthodox." The man says, "Well, glory to God! I am too..! Are you Old Calendar Anti-Ecumenist New Ritualist Old-Man Trinity Icon-using Greek Orthodox, or Old Calendar Anti-Ecumenist New Ritualist non-Old-Man Trinity icon-using Greek Orthodox..?" "I'm Old Calendar Anti-Ecumenist New Ritualist Old-Man Trinity icon-using Greek Orthodox." So the man says, "Aaaaaaa, you damned heretic! May you burn in hell forever..!"

Pray, what is this 'internet' of which you speak..?
