  1. Yes, get where you are coming from Kev.
  2. Rumer? Or did you mean a drummer 😎
  3. Followed by Young Hearts Run Free. Getting back to politics, the Americans can be as bad, with Regan not having a clue about Born in the USA.
  4. Yes, I'm a sucker for nice arrangements. Probably due to having played (rhythm guitar) in a big band for many years, and growing up with Sinatra LPs on frequent rotation!
  5. Just heard this on 6 Music - might be a bit MoR for some, but I love it. Horns are fabulous - way better than Jools Holland's arrangements, and the harmonica solo soars above evreything beautifully. Nice end to an horrendous drive home on the A27!
  6. Way too young to be too old to join a band!! As to how to get back, networking. Jams, open mics, gigs. Get to know people, let them know you are looking. Good luck, and enjoy the ride (55, toured for first time last year).
  7. Going to see my old band tonight - mixed feelings...

      Not as good, naturally, but OK. Felt sorry for bass player (who is a mate) who was really nervous knowing I was there!!

  8. Nice work!
  9. Hmm, interesting new musical project in its formative stage...

      I reckon it's a gothic interpretation of Steps œuvre.

      Think this:

      @Marc S I'm flattered - altogether now, "Chanson d'amour...rat ta tat ta da"

  10. Just sold an amp to Gavin - very easy transaction, great guy to deal with. Thanks.
  11. A bad gig I had a couple of times is where someone who loved us from our pub gigs booked us for a party. Our mix of Dylan, Creedance and Neil Young never went down very well at multi-generation family get togethers!
  12. Just a touch over 6' if I can straighten up!
  13. We'll knock me sideways with a feather. And checking multiple versions I'm not the only one to miss that subtlety! Thanks.
  14. What's the fourth note then?
  15. All three notes of it. Perfect!
  16. Ah, pushing on an open door with this one. WIll have my turntable set up again after a two year hiatus - must dig some Grusin out!
  17. Will check this out later now that I've seen it is Fender, not Nick. Big fan of the former!
  18. But they are running the "Get Ready for Brexit" advertising campaign - someone must know 😫
  19. I wouldn't have thought you would be able to until we know what happens on the 31st.
  20. My phone agreed with me so double posted
  21. Summer of 69 Alexandra Burke's version of Hallelujah 60% of the Beatles output, but for this exercise I'll go for Yesterday.

  23. If you can sit down at gigs, these are a lot of fun (and loud acoustically too) https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Ozark-Resonator-Guitar-Nickel-Plate-Brass-Engraved/ZSG
  24. Have a great gig Michael - sound like it will be a brilliant night!
