    Yes, superb gig - they looked like they were having a whale of a time on stage. Great to hear some proper oldies in the set, I swear I squealed like an excited child when started. 😄 I do wonder if perhaps we're seeing the farewell tour here though...

    I'm with you 100% there. I would far rather play with average musos who were lovely people, than with virtuosos who were utter gits. Luckily I get the best of both worlds... both bands are git-free zones, my 20 bandmates are all wonderful friends and I love em to bits, and they're all super musicians and performers too. I'm very lucky, but if I was to lose these two bands I'm not sure if I'd carry on.

    Dog walks into a post office, says he wants to send a telegram.
    "OK" says the clerk, "what's the message?"
    The dog says, "Woof woof woof, woof woof woof woof woof, woof woof."
    Clerk says, "OK, but for the same price, you can add one more 'woof'".
    The dog frowns and replies, "But then it wouldn't make any sense."

      Reminds me of this one. 

      Remote Scottish village, general store cum post office, bell tinkles as the door opens. 

      'Mrs McDonald' says the postmaster 'We dinnae see you too often'.

      'Aye, well, Mr McDonald died.  I'd like to put a wee notice in the paper, what's the cheapest?' 

      '£5, what d'ye want to say?'

      'Mr McDonald died'

      'Feh £5 ye get 3 more words'

      'Mr McDonald died.  Volvo for sale'

    It'd go down a storm on the continent, they still love their fusion over there. Mike Stern's latest European tour for example, he had 9 dates in France with 8 in Spain and 5 in Germany coming up. One in the UK.

    I did that once in a shop many moons ago (back when I still went into music shops occasionally)... asked to try something, the sales guy plugged it in and went wickety-wackity-wock (badly) for several minutes and then handed it to me. I played 5 notes, just the open strings, then said "nah, don't like it" and handed it back. Even if I'd adored it, I wouldn't have bought it off him.

    I adore fusion - there, I said it - and I like what I've heard of this so far, enough that I'll probably stump up the cash for the whole thing. I agree with @Bevan7, fusion seems to be an easy target for scorn - indeed I recall one former member of this parish making more than one 'joke' about what he believed were the illegal sexual preferences of fusion fans. Laugh? I nearly did. Anyway. Whilst I'm quite happy with the guitar as the lead instrument, I agree that it would be interesting to hear another on there. Much of Mike Stern's work involves a sax taking a co-lead role and it works very well.

    I know. It's galling isn't it? I've stopped looking in the basses marketplace because I'm fed up of just whimpering at things.

    This is Mark King's rig on the current L42 tour. The Markbass amp and cab are instantly recognisable, but what's the unit in the rack below the amp? Any ideas? I don't want to rush out and buy one, I'm just curious.

    Ska band's gig next Saturday is at a Conservative Club. Hmm, well a payday's a payday I suppose. Anyway... I've bought a special shirt for the occasion.

    Great, thanks for that, but "are you a fan?" wasn't actually the question.

    Oh I do love a good comedy price-tag. 1400 bucks (by the time it gets over here, probably 1500 quid) for a Sterling, oh my aching sides.

    Note to self: in future, never ever ever get a Covid booster and a flu jab at the same time or in the same arm. Ouch, and moreover, ugh. 🤕😷

      Just back from having both of mine done but in separate arms 🤞

      One shot in each arm here too.  Slight ache in the pfizer arm but otherwise fine.  I've not heard of anyone else taking them both in the one arm.

      I had the option of both in the one arm at least an inch apart.
