Cliff Edge

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.

You bought it, surely it’s yours to do what ever you want.

Good to know, thanks.

Rechargeable PP3 batteries don’t deliver a full 9volts which may not suit some instruments.

According to my surgeon the drugs I’m taking are keeping me alive.

Saw him a couple of times a few years ago. Supurb player. Had no idea he was visiting the UK. Where ws this?

My Jap TSB650 from 1979 is 4kgs. I don’t feally get on with the neck and string spacing, being a long time Fender player. But it’s a really well crafted bass.

Amazingly I also bought a ‘72 Jazz in ‘82. It has been very well used since and suffered somewhat due to poor quality components. Some of which were binned in the intervening years and replacements fitted so it can never be 100% original. But it stays in tune, plays and sounds wonderful, looks a bit tired and these days never goes out of the house.

I don’t know if it’s common but I have seen it before.
