Hahahahaha! I wish I had a fraction of his talent. I discovered that just being uncommonly hairy does not count.

Welcome Robert.

Country and Western was very big in Ireland when I was there from the early seventies to late eighties. Showbands delivered it in the dancehalls every Friday and Saturday night. I used to hear artists like Johnny McEvoy, Big Tom and Philomena Begley regularly as we had to have it on in the bar that my parents owned almost constantly. I can't say it grew on me that much. I enjoy American Country more.

Welcome Smirfy.

Welcome Badretep.

I'm serious. The tea-chest bass has earned its place in bass culture on both sides of the Atlantic. It's good for a laugh, granted, but it's also something that got impoverished would-be musicians into the game

I'm just in the middle of reading Shout, a book that goes into the history of the Beatles. The Quarrymen started out with a tea chest bass.

If you do, please put a Build Diary topic up. I'd love to see that.

Welcome Pulser.
