There is no new music. There are no new harmonies, tonalities, or rhythmic devices. That aside, in terms of 'popular music', there was music released in 1969 that would not be mistaken for music released in 1959; there was music released in 1979 that would not be mistaken for music released in 1969; and there was music released in 1989 that would not be mistaken for music released in 1979. IMO we can not say the same for 2010/2000 and 2020/2010. Has there been anything new in popular music in over 20 years?

More Jazz Club, including an interjection of Indie Club 😳 😆

Fugly.

But can they do it upside down on a rollercoaster?

What did the drummer get on his IQ test? Saliva.

That sounds great! 😎 Is the buyer going to use it in some sort of ensemble?

What are you going to play for us... - trumpet! What tune? - tune? This is jazz!

The singer looks like Cyril Smith 😳

That's the benefit of hindsight, at the time it was neither clichéd, nor 80's rock.

one either side of the drum kit!

Got: Tele LP Flying V Strat type - HB's Semi acoustic. Preference? Live, depends on the gig. Studio/recording, the Tele.

Nothing new. Back in the 80's Sigue Sigue Sputnik sold the space between the songs on their album.

Samson Resolv 65a active studio monitors, and Zoom TAC 2R Thunderbolt Audio Converter.

Hi all! I need a bit of advice on audio connections. The outs on my audio converter are 1/4" jack. The ins on my (powered) studio monitors are 1/4 jack & RCA. Does it matter which I use? So either, jack to jack lead (would a short guitar lead do?), or jack to RCA? Cheers!

Because there are only 2 USB ports. I'm using one for the mouse and the other for the midi keyboard.

i could have justified the Macbook by saying I need a back-up laptop as I'm working from home. But I've got no excuse for the Zoom! 😆

I'm guessing 'studio' gear is included? If so I'm well out. I bought an old Macbook Pro and a Zoom interface just so I can use Garageband.

Have you tried turning it off, then turning it on again? 😜

trouser flapping goodness 😎

Let the market decide. Put both up for sale, and keep the one that doesn't sell first.

Zoom TAC 2R. Took a while to find at a decent price. Anything with a Thunderbolt 2 connection seems to go for silly money. Fortunately I was the first and only bidder. Haven't got time to fire it up today, so tomorrow will be downloading drivers, and worrying about compatibility issues! 😝

7th August cancelled.

I guess I'll find out next week!

Just had a couple of gigs confirmed, 7 & 28 August. Pub gig with limited numbers.

Already have. We're not doing it for everyone, but there are certain venues we play regularly where we are looked after and get well paid. Some of the previous analogies don't add up. Do tradesmen bring a crowd that buy drink and food and keep the venue going?
