Maybe not shocking, but surprising that there has been such a complete shift in the most consumed music is created.

Hasn't it been this way for years? I went to the original Capital Radio Jazz Festival at Alexandra Palace - very late 70s or early 80s. BB King and Chuck Berry were among the headliners. When it transferred to Knebworth I saw Jimmy Cliff and the Average White Band. Plenty of jazz as well (Lionel Hampton, Benny Goodman, Dave Brubek) but always a few bigger name mainstream acts.

Personally, I think it has done a pretty good job of sorting out something that was originally pretty horrific. Hats off to AI on this occasion. Still wouldn't want to perform it!

I don't know if singers do need a break as I'm not one, but I'm not a fan of the break. Lose momentum, lose punters, and as a non-drinker/non-smoker what do you do for 15-20 minutes in a busy pub where you only know you band mates?

Something I've never needed, wanted or knew existed - and I now have Gas For it 🤨😆

You have just sent me down a very bad rabbit hole - Glen Campbell's 12 string Deacon 🔥🔥🔥

I'm in an even smaller minority - I love their solid electric models!!

😯 Interesting piece.

That's a very fine example.

Not something I've ever read into one of your posts. You always come across as open and genuine.

Thought this was going to be about The Band, and their song The Weight. In the band I was in that played this we would often get people call out 'play the Fanny song'.

Stunning Yamaha. Lusted after one of these for many years, then got a 30th Anniversary model. Loved it but couldn't get the right sounds out of it. Probably my limited ability as a player rather than any reflection on a great guitar.

I'm with the above two posts. As with Cat Burrito, I struggled with singing and playing, mostly around rhythms. Couldn't get the "rolling" response in Proud Mary, so singer suggested we flip, me doing the call, him the response. Sounds like your fellow is not a team player.

Ha, I think @Reggaebass has a stronger claim to Tone Foam...😏

Ever heard of The Wrecking Crew? So many 1960s hits were not recorded by the guys in the band, including a lot of the Beach Boys material. If you haven't then there's quite a good documentary to take a look at. Should make you feel way better!

Don't conflate guitars with guitarists

You didn't use a shielded instrument cable rather than a speaker cable? Just seen they are speakons so that should rule that out.

Is it possible that he has used one of these AI descriptions that the likes of eBay now offer, and the AI has got its inspiration from your text?

P Bass = Telecaster.

Looking forward to the pics once you get it (you know the rules...)

Yes, they should. I bought fender licensed jazz neck and Mighty-Mite P Bass body from a US supplier who sells them as interchangeable.

That sunken tailpiece is a lovely feature. Would love to know how they constructed it.

I second that emotion.

I didn't get to do the 100 Club or Bridport, playing original Blues Rock until I was 55. I'm now 60, and after a short (but still too long) hiatus, I have every intention of doing it again. Also, forgot I once played the Royal Albert Hall!!
