[quote name='fryer' post='1075093' date='Jan 2 2011, 10:53 AM']They sound happy compared to this - Jim Reeves - Old Tige. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaEGlYFhnRc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaEGlYFhnRc[/url] (Tige you were faithful faithful to the end Tige how I miss you you were my best friend) Three years of Army Service done and I was headin' home at last. I got to thinking bout my dog and things long gone and past. How old Tige pulled me from the creek when I had no pulse or breath, and how he saved me from the chargin' bull that gored my Dad to death. As a kid I'd dream of bears and tremble to my toes Till old Tige come up to my bed and nudge me with his nose. Then my fears would melt away and Tige would go lie down, I'd drift on back to sleep without another sound. The big bus stopped I got off - it was awful dark and thick with fog. Then something gently nuzzled me and there stood Tige my dog. I wondered if my faithful dog had met the bus each day And all the dreary winter nights since I'd been away. To have Tige meet me here like this, I was...I was really glad 'Cause I hadn't needed Tige so much since the day they'd buried Dad. Two long miles still lay ahead, but what I didn't know A giant Dam was being built where the old road used to go. I thank the Lord for sending Tige and I followed where he led, Knowing well without his help that I'd be good as dead. Tige inched along this way and that, going rough and slow, And I could hear the water lappin' at the ledges far below. Then through the mist I saw a light and mother in her chair, I reached down to pet old Tige but he wasn't there. I'm thankful Mom you had old Tige these three lonely years I owe my life to him tonight, I couldn't help my tears. You say you wrote me bout the Dam, well, God was sure with us I didn't get your letter, Mom, but old Tige met the bus. I hate to tell you son, she said, but now you've got to know. When you left it broke his heart...Tige died three years ago. (You were my best friend)[/quote] Sob!!

QUOTE:I wouldnt go down that route with Doddy witterth I think he plays with a few tasty players everyday, UNQUOTE what? so sould I be scared of him in a sopranos/goodfellows way? I just meant GL is a great player, very,very,very good. and rather ( as you point out )than calling him "sh*te" Mr D should respect that. he could turn up at an audition one day and hear "Have you met Gilson?" Haven't seen "Doddy" on the telly since mid '80s! wonder what he'd say if someone said he couldnt swing/suffle/groove/5 strings or no, in the public forum, that colleagues/employers read,or, called him "sh*te" he'd probably shug it off but wouldnt be happy.EH? (I know what you mean Pete) I suppose real pros, havent the time to be arsed if you stick your head up,expect it to get to get shot at!! Mr D W

[quote name='icastle' post='1075559' date='Jan 2 2011, 06:24 PM']Yep - switch cleaner is better if you have a can to hand. Internal fans are usually a pretty standard size and fit so a visit to your local Maplin with the busted one should get you are replacement pretty easily.[/quote] Right thanks Bit scared of doing such work myself though at least I know it wont cost a fortune now maplins for switch cleaner I thought? Thanks again W

[quote name='icastle' post='1075483' date='Jan 2 2011, 05:10 PM']Probably not a hugely expensive repair. If it's an old amp then you might be able to fix it yourself by removing all of the caked on gunk from the fan (vacuum cleaner and a paintbrush would do the trick) and making sure the bearings are running freely (a wee squirt of WD40 would do the trick here but make sure you wipe any excess off before powering it up).[/quote] Thanks MR Ic! On listening to the fault a friend of mine (who plays in the band) thought it may be the bearings that were at fault, but cleaning is a good place to start,so thanks. I do think it may be more than that, But will try. I was told not to use WD40 as when dust gets on it sits there (stuck to oil) where as switch cleaner cleans things then evaporates(?) again, thoughts/advice Cheers W

The fan in a Trace Elliot AH500 had been making some funny clicking/catching noises then the sound stops, but then again the fan carried on regardless. Anyway on NYE the fan stopped alltogether, at the sound check, so I luckily noticed it, and used a spare I'd been carring due to previous worries about the Fan. I was worrried hot venue and running amp without fan. could do severe damage to more expensive bits. Anyone know how difficult it is to repair and what to expect pricewise? Its a AH500 mark4 so quite old (but Emily loved him-thats how old it is, if you get that reference!!)so Id like to get it fixed So...? Ideas chaps? W

[quote name='Doddy' post='1074838' date='Jan 1 2011, 10:40 PM']I think it's spot on- I think he's sh*te. No balls,technique or swing. I regularly play with drummers who blow him in every single way.[/quote] Somehow, it comes as no suprise to me that you'd say that. sh*te. No balls,technique or swing. HA, (dangly bits) BTW doubtless you work with some "drummers who would (WISH) to blow him in every single way", but thats another thread

Class player had a solo carrer not sure how that went though

offer the Fifty notes its worth Kossoff me @rse, anyway, so what? just because he had it.... (dons tin hat).....

Guy Pratt? his book? anyone? I was on a list/Q somewhere.

I've got both (woopeee for me eh?) and Like Nigel Tufnel says "I love them and cherish them" Status is the more versitile one, but I love my JD Mark King supernat!! led makes me smile

"Big River" by Jimmy Nail. gets me every time. (sure its on youtube somewhere if youre arsed)

I brought a stingray back from san fransisco about five years ago and just walked back in with it, past HMs finest, not realising it was wrong hence no shifty or guilty look about me!!

obbm cables Andy, the dogs. order them, and they arrive on the doostep, dont even have to get your hat wet! W

[quote name='daz' post='1022091' date='Nov 13 2010, 01:42 AM']Will try and get there. ps The only Yellow Dog i know had a hit with [i]One more night[/i] many moons ago back in the late 70s early 80s[/quote] I was thinking that too, Mr T would have been in primary, if ,even thought of then!!

[quote name='AndyTravis' post='1022043' date='Nov 12 2010, 11:30 PM']So, our first outing under the new name, with new members. I've been aching for this gig for ages, as have the rest of the band. It's been a long, quiet period since we were YellowDog, and seems an age since we sold out Academy 3. So, come along, it's a relaxed venue (the Singer and Guitarist own it) and it won't be by any means a finished article. The keys player/backing vocalist has decided to leave due to other personal commitments, so we're beavering away at filling the gap she's left behind. We'll be playing the majority of our forthcoming album, plus a Christmas classic with a twist. It's dark, thoughtful indie pop but rest assured, yours truly will be adding some interesting bass flavours to the evening. Half the set fretted, half the set fretless. Rumours that a local 'poorly illustrated young male' may be joining us for the evening haven't been confirmed 100% yet, but there will be a healthy support at bare minimum. The newly refurbished back room can only hold about 80 people, so it will be cosy. If you want to come along let me know, and i'll make sure you're on the named list. Totally free entry, and some of the best ales in Manchester. 66 Oldham Street, just off Piccadilly. Please come along, if only to watch me mash through my first gig on Fretless.[/quote] Thank You Mr T for info.... Id love to come along! work commitments permitting thanks for letting me know! god willing see you there Witters
