Nice one Andy. Appreciate your advice. John

Thanks Andy, not worried really. Hoping that the grain/stain can be seen, so I guess something to seal the wood? 🍻

Firstly apologies if this has been asked a multitude of times. Please feel free to tut and place the link in a reply 😉 So I’m staining an unfinished body with water based stain. Any advise on what to put on top of that? Would rather avoid the aerosol lacquer sanding repeat x 10 avenue, as I don’t really have an area to do that in. But if that’s my only option then I’ll have to rethink. Many thanks for your help. John

Yes, but we’re all mature and special...and they’re all smelly poopoo heads. So there!

Go PMT Oxford. 🙄

This was cutting edge back in the day. Looks like a massive pink torpedo, as does the instrument.

Good on him. The suits have been making zillions out of other people’s creativity, and will continue to do so. Glad he and his family will see the fruits of his labours. (Yes I know he’s worth a shed load already).

To be fair I’ve never played for the bbc.

In all my years of playing, I’ve never got a penny out of the BBC. 😠

Generally hate Christmas these days, sick of it rammed down your throat by September 2nd! Anyway that aside, I like this version of white Christmas because it’s one my daughter and I sing together and I haven’t seen her for 12 months. Hoping she can get home for Christmas.

Nice. 😎

No it’s ok Stew, my poor comms. I thought if you were delivering something to Pete, you might be able to pick a package up from him (whilst your there). But looks like I’ve grabbed the stick at the pointy end 🤦🏻‍♂️😊

Might be cheeky Stew and ask if you could pick something up from Pete and I’ll get it from you in Nort’n....but only if you end up dropping off the other item of course. J

Thought it was just me. George Harrison’s playing was fabulous too, you could tell he loves the genre and CP was a hero.

Watching this on Sky Arts, 1985 tv special of the great man himself and a number of guests. Now I love me a bit o Rockabilly and Western swing, etc and all is going well, sympathetic guitar settings (clean slapback reverb) from band until mr Clapton does a turn. Distorted blues licks, bends and stuff (basically what he does), sounded completely out of place to me. Mr Perkins seemed to like it, so what do I know. But to me it was the equivalent of Mark king doing a slap solo all the way through The Deer Hunter theme choon. Just because you can and all that?! Maybe EC can only do one thing (albeit very well). I’ll get back in my box now, but anyone else think of musically inappropriate guest appearances? Bye!

And make coat hangers

Why is there a sherbet liquorice attached to the side? Seems a waste.

I’m on bass and so’s my wife.
