This is very sad news. Sam gave me reassuring and helpful advice around the time of my cardiac surgery.

Thanks for the introduction to Katy Hurt, I like what I hear. Unfortunately I won’t be able to go to the gigs

A bit off topic. The Shrewsbury Folk Festival this year has The Bar Steward Sons Of Val Doonican on the bill. If you have time to kill, trawling the acts appearing on various UK festivals this year has some wonderfully crazy band names. One of my favourites is Colonel Mustard and The Dijon 5.

Thanks for all the info guys, If I had looked at the OnSong website which I haven’t done for several years now, all the info is there. Including some useful video tuts for doing exactly this. Even my old version of OnSong has all the required midi functions. I think all I need is the Widi Jack and I’m good.

It’s just buttons 4 and 5 via the expression socket to select presets.

This looks interesting, thank you.

Control a Stomp and an iPad using MIDI? May have been discussed already but before trawling 96 pages here I thought I would ask. I use OnSong on iPad, each song in a set list has BPM and elapsed time. I select the songs using a bluetooth page turner pedal and then select the Stomp patch I want using buttons on an Ampero Hotone. It’d be nice to do all this with one button push on something, possibly using MIDI as the Stomp doesn’t do Bluetooth?

There was a Queen tribute band I shared the bill with years ago called Flash Harry. They put on a good show.

Have we had Johnny Rash yet?

That’s what is known in the trade as “showing off”. Unlike bass solos, also showing off, he isn’t actually playing the bass while impersonating a Whirling Dervish. The drummer, however, is showing off. 🙂

A work colleague gave me a copy of this album on cassette, introducing me to Zevon, and it spent several weeks in the car cassette player. Probably being played too loudly if I’m honest. Great album.

Facebook is just too popular to be useful any more. It’s too crowded with rubbish and fake posts. Instagram is no better, Twitter has lost all the interesting contributors and Reddit is full of illiterate American kids of all ages. I like this place.

Thanks, I’ll do that.

An aol email address. This guy is old.

Genuine question in case I have heard some and didn’t know. How does Shoegaze differ from other sub genres of rock? Not talking about a live performance here, just the recorded music.
