  1. Fairytale of New York for pretty much the same reason.
  2. You can also add Rod Clements of Lindisfarne onto the list.
  3. Pah! Amateurs! Last set of strings I bought cost £218. (Admittedly they were a set for an Upright 🙂) For a bass guitar, the last set I bought cost £50 (Thomastiks) but that was in 2014 and they're almost broken in by now.
  4. My daughter started taking bass lessons at that age. She's just turned 15 and got her Grade 8 certification a couple of weeks ago
  5. Martin Lamble and Jeannie Franklyn. One a truly gifted drummer taken far too early and the other, the inspiration for Jack Bruce's "Songs for a Tailor"
  6. To be fair. Tork was actually quite an accomplished musician on the Greenwich Village scene. He'd worked with Pete Seeger and heard about the casting for the Monkees from Stephen Stills (who'd been rejected for a part)
  7. I would pay good money just to watch Danny tuning up. The work he did with John on the BBC's Transatlantic Sessions is well worth checking out (and features a stellar rendition of Solid Air).
  8. CDs backed up to FLAC format and then converted to mp3 on an iPod Classic with a 512 Gb Solid State Drive for listening to. Some FLAC downloads from Bandcamp, but only a few.
  9. I had a similar issue with my Jack Casady, the tool in the OP was about as much use as a bucket of warm spit. I then got hold of the'Jack the Gripper' tool cheap and it worked very well. (I subsequently applied some threadlock and haven't had an issue since).
  10. Not true apparently. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-earthworms-surface-after-rain/
  11. It’s all here
  12. I still have a Tokai VSB80 PJ that I bought from Chappells back in the early '80s and a suede own brand strap I got at the same time. I think they were absorbed by Yamaha who now have a showroom in Wardour Street.

    Songs

    Hay chewed is, in fact, a track on Elton John’s first album https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_Sky
  14. How much does it weigh?
  15. Given the date on the photo, I'm astonished that this hasn't been snapped up before.
  16. How about How about Danny Thompson?
  17. I'm also interested. I contacted Laurence last month but haven't been able to get a date for a setup.
  18. Looks like Danny's now extending his internet presence https://www.youtube.com/@OfficialDannyThompson
  19. Today program on Radio 4 played out to Beck's Bolero
  20. Same here. iOS 15.7.1 with Safari
  21. Then there's the wonderful Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen
