    Bit of an unfair stereotype there, but I'll take it as the fun it was meant to be. Plenty of character in all music - guitar solo in Carpenters Goodbye to Love, America from West Side Story, Dionne Warwick's voice to name but three. Oh, and it was Guinness or 14.5% Shiraz (probably why I don't drink anymore 😀)

    If you get this moved to the build thread the folks there will have lots of great advice. Will need to ask a mod to move it for you. (I know some of them don't venture into general discussion).

    Don't worry - MoR is much maligned, but there's some wonderful music to be had in the genre. Bacharach & David, Dusty Springfield. Mind you, I am a sucker for arrangements, and it seems that's where all the best ones are.

    Doris Day, Karen Carpenter, Haircut 100 - you have some absolutely top drawer guilty pleasures, and I salute you for them 😎

    Hope it wasn't this one: Bought off Ebay as a project. I did a lot of restoration to it but ended up parting it out.

    I must admit, I preferred Farrow & Ball's earlier work.

    Some great sounds going on there. Almost like they are having a bit of a jam in places. Very cool.

    Trying to nail the feel. The rests are as critical as the notes to get it sounding right! I think it is the extended version I posted. Not really into soloing, just want to improve my playing and widen my repertoire during this downtime.

    Lovely track posted by Danny Baker on Twitter with Louis Johnson on bass. Very sad loss.

    Just thought I'd start pushing myself while there's all this time to spare. Giving this a go - great part, great feel. A long way to go but got the basics sorted.

    That colour isn't even listed on the Ibanez website, so possibly a special for a particular chain?
  12. Mykesbass
    Indeed, and totally awful in this setting!
  13. Mykesbass
    NOT this guy...
  14. Mykesbass
    Ah, way outside my knowledge base, sorry.
  15. Mykesbass
    No he didn't. Gerard Kenny wrote the music.

    I had some Picatos once. Very nice until I started to feel th eedges of the windings as they lifted. Those TLs and Rotos look very odd. Not what you would expect.

    Probably one of the most cheery from that genre:

    Blimey, you have just opened up a whole genre that makes me smile - Hill Street Blues theme, Taxi (Bob James), Chuck Mangione, Sadao live at the Budokan, the list could go on and on!

    The ultimate must be the one being discussed here:

    Oh yes! Not a fan of skiing, but somehow got captivated in the late 80s by Alberto Tomba. Something very glorious and nostalgic about the theme music!

    Listening to, but watching at the same time, A Mighty Wind - the sort of Folk follow up to Spinal Tap. Music although all spoofed was brilliantly done, and the film although not quite as many classic moments as Tap is very funny, and very clever.

    If you like a bit of Flamenco gone off piste then have a listen to Omega (on Spotify). Mix of Enrique Morente's traditional Flamenco with the lyrics of Leonard Cohen and Spanish Poet Federico Lorca, plus a rock band Lagartija Nick thrown in for good measure. Very weird, but I've loved this album for a long time.

    When you have big boots to fill... Thanks for posting @Old Man Riva

    Mornin' (sorry about the seriously cheesy video, but the song is pure joy)!

    Couple of Lovers' Rock classics:
