Oh crap the deadline's tonight innit? Might make it, might be a bit late!

I'm not going but a good friend is doing a didjeridu performance & workshop at 11am on Thursday at Toad Hall in the Green Futures field.

Fixing A Hole — Beatles

I have a pelham blue one. I have cobalt flats on mine and play 100% fingerstyle. Happy to answer any questions but too busy with a fast approaching deadline to do a vid at the moment.

Cracking Codes — Andrew Bird

Dollar Bill Blues — Townes Van Zandt

Elvis Has Just Left The Building — Frank Zappa

Anyone Who Isn't Me Tonight — Kenny Rogers (I bet he does) & Dottie West

Singing From The Grave — Anna Von Hausswolff

Roland The Headless Thomson Gunner — Warren Zevon

I played through one more than once. It wasn't rubbish — it was much worse than that.

King Midas In Reverse — Crosby Still Nash & Young

Build Me Up Buttock Up — The Foundations

Hey Lord, Don't Arse Me Questions — Graham Parker & The Rumour

I just got a reply: ================================= Many thanks for contacting us. Unfortunately our shipping department is having a small backlog due to a public holiday. Your order should leave our warehouse today. Thank you for your patience in any case ================================= No mention of logistics or only sending out once a week 🤔 The order status hasn't changed yet though. Edit - just checked again & it is showing as "Dispatched: The goods have left our warehouse and are on their way to the border." There's nothing exciting in the order, just a bunch of odd bits & pieces that aren't easy to source locally, and a dozen sets of their cheapest .009 guitar strings which are as good as any standard branded strings I've used.

Anus of Uranus — Klaatu

When I order something from Andertons or other large music shops, more often than not it is despatched the same day and arrives the next. I placed an order with Thomann on Monday. All of the items are in stock, but today (Thursday) the order is still showing as: open - Not yet processed - Order will soon be commissioned and shipped. Obviously it will take a few days to arrive once it has been despatched, but does anyone know why have my last few orders have taken so long to actually get processed and despatched? I am wondering whether there's a logistics reason such as all UK orders get grouped together as a single shipment until they reach the UK, so they only despatch those orders on a certain day of the week. I have sent them an enquiry and will report back if/when I get a reply.

No Octopussy Blues — Grinderman

The Bottomless Hole — The Handsome Family

It'll be fine. Its only valve amps where you'd need to worry about this.

Whiskey In My Whiskey — The Felice Brothers

The Titanic — Leadbelly
