    Yes. Use the open B in two of our original songs, and use a low D a lot. Also, as with @chaypup I use it a lot for finger position especially for E, F and F#.

    Love all the vintage Fender/car colours - Fiesta Red, Seafoam Green etc. Something about the shades that really do it for me. Voted blue as there are a couple of those that I really like.

    Love my Genzler - I've got the smaller 350. You'd probably want the bigger one by what you have said, however, I'm local (ish) to you if you want to try it at a rehearsal.

    Another great way is to use a small amount of a non-English language as a highlight. Fabulous example here helping to bring out the true melancholy that the original track possibly didn't convey.

    5,2,2,0 - wouldn't call the two 19 year olds friends, but get on well with all of them.

    An IEC C19 cable - real pain in the backside as they are not something you can pick up on the high street whilst out on tour. Had to buy a new amp instead 😁

    QED!

    It succeeded in giving Prog a bad name for 30 years!

    Saw the fantastic Songhoy Blues in Brighton last night. Was amazed at how many people were singing along! The singer did ask at one point if people knew what they were singing 😀

    Not a big lyric fan which is possibly why I'm very open to foreign language music. Here's a fave:

    DSL from Australia - looks like Gear 4 Music stock them now.

    Walk on by - Leroy van Dyke Walk on by - everyone else! I know someone who put the wrong version on a Bacharach & David compilation!

    Funny how that happens isn't it? Known and loved Little Feat since my teens, but only recently caught up with Allman Brothers.

    Are you sure about this? All the money they spend on theming and decorating the venue, sparkly dance floors etc, you can hardly turn up in your allotment cords and an old jumper!

    Well that was fun. Great sound on and off stage, band played brilliantly, big audience who loved it. Some really great feedback afterwards. Didn't win the vote to go on the mainstage next year, looks like the rock bands one that every night, but I've never been one for music as a competitive sport! Made some useful allies, and feel like the band have made another step up.

    You have a few years on me Blue - I've still got some time to get there

    Ah, well if we count those, yes, Kent County Show last year, but for the stand holders after the public had left (and with world cup on TV)! A slight aside, I saw Skunk Anansie at their distributor's conference - cellar bar in a hotel in Bracknell. Was amazing - less than a meter away from Skin for the whole set!

    I did it to a Gene once. Spent all day thinking about NOT doing it, as soon as he walked in the door, Hi Gene! Damn!!

    That is rather bloomin' gorgeous!

    Looks like Jak's is the place to be!

    Nice - I'm driving up on the Saturday morning (seeing @mybass playing in Shoreham on Friday). Have a good one.

    Chris, you probably had the pleasure of playing some decent gigs earlier in your career - I'm a late developer

    Following on from the end of last year's tour - this Saturday sees the biggest gig of my playing career. Not bad for an old duffer! We'll be on the Introducing Stage at the Great British Rock & Blues Festival in Skegness. Anywhere between 600 and 1,000 proper die-hard music fans there for the likes of 9 Below Zero, FM, Saxon and many others. Good fun this original music lark!

    Fantastic Negrito is the first act in a long time that I've listened to on repeat.
