    I have never been to Poland or discussed this with a Polish speaker so I can't dispute your experience but, not only Monkeypedia, every online pronunciation guide I consult says that Polish w = sound of v (or sometimes f). How would you pronounce the cities Wrocław and Warszawa?

    Never having heard anyone say the word I have always thought of it as Sadoffski in the usual European manner. I expect I shall continue doing so

    Just traded some stuff for an Epiphone Embassy in antique ivory with a Hiscox hard case. Popped some old GHS Precision flats on it and bingo I like it. Unfortunately no full volume rehearsal til next week.

    Once I knew who he was I could see the joke but at first I was lost.

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Spend your money on somehting else.

    Mine work fine, I have never thought 'I must get some new tuners'.

    I had no idea who that was until I googled. And as far as I can tell he was not in The Outlaws

    I'm in a band where we love to end on a non-tonic chord so nobody knows what key we were in - sometimes even I don't know what key we were in.

    In the UK and in the USA, but you had to be there, obviously. And, featuring Ritchie Blackmore on guitar and Chas Hodges on electric bass guitar, here's Joe Meek's production from 1962 of The Chaps also known as The Outlaws ...

    But was Jones right to put all the blame on Starr?
  14. EssentialTension
    ... and it's not even a very good arangement. Starkey should ask for his money back.

    Readinng the article again, I see that Jones described McCartney as 'the worst bass player I ever heard'. Perhaps Jones only ever heard a load of highly technically proficient jazz/funk/session guys playing bass and then McCartney ... or perhaps he just never heard me.
  16. EssentialTension
    Jones didn't hire Starkey to play drums. Starkey hired Jones as arranger for the song 'Love is a Many Splendoured Thing' on Starkey's first solo album Sentimental Journey.

    Is that the swimming pool, where the mermaid is?

    Someone said to me after a gig , 'I am surprised you play bass, you're not really tall enough'. I'm 5'10", as if it mattered. Quite a lot of people are quite stupid as well as quite sexist.

    Here's just one example ...

    That makes me not a bass player!

    I usually find it's the unimpressed who mention Mark King. I usually deny all knowledge of him.

    So in Finland it would be Epiphoni? Yes?
  24. EssentialTension
    It's not all about tone. It's also about note choice, rhythm, phrasing, and rests.

    Probably Fenediru in Japan
