Thought I would have a crack at I Wish by Stevie Wonder, finding it tough, so repetitive, drop a note and you are totally out of sync, struggling to play it at the tempo with full accuracy, I think I’m at 90% of the tempo after spending thirty minutes on it. Phew.

I actually thought this was a Bob Dylan tribute act.

Looking through the list of acts appearing, there is not one that would entice me to travel all the way to the South West to see them play, a few on there I would have paid to see possibly ten years ago, but now they are well past their best and just going through the motions.

A massive turnout for Nicks funeral yesterday, Peterborough Cathedral was full, it showed how respected Nick was, a great fun loving guy sadly missed.

First track release off new solo Don Airey album.

We do the Def Leppard one, I prefer an easier life.

Hysteria, Muse or Def Leppard ?

One of my all time favourite bands, saw them live at the first Knebworth Festival in 1974, I’m very envious of you playing wonderful songs from a vast music catalogue. 👍

Thoroughly enjoyed 90% of that special concert, epic sound mix with the bass really sounding great, Pink was the standout vocalist for me, that lady can really sing, Flee didn’t have to spend much on his stage outfit 😀 The quality of musicianship was outstanding and it made me feel quite emotional at times, it’s something that hits me as I get older.

2 x 40mg tablets per day keeps mine under control but not completely like yourself, I stopped taking them for a few days a while back thinking they were not doing much good, that soon proved me wrong. Unfortunately ET is progressive and will get worse as the years pass, it will come to a point where playing my bass will be too difficult. ☹️

Propranolol ?

Wouldn’t know and never had the inclination to find out. 👎

Just heard this track on BBC Northampton, John Leech Soul Show. Wilton Felder featuring Bobby Womack - Inherit The Wind. So laid back, cool, what a smooth groove.

Very saddened to hear this news about Nick, I knew him reasonably well, he was definitely one of the good guys and excellent bass player, Nick introduced me to BASSCHAT and MarkBass. RIP.

Back from seeing Limehouse Lizzy tonight, the whole band was really on form, superb performance to a full house of folks in the older age group who showed a lot of appreciation towards the band, it’s pleasing to know this band carry on the legacy of Thin Lizzy at the highest of levels. 👍👍👍
