astro, i wholeheartedly second that emotion

OK SIR....noted

i hate being called sir too, i used to hate it when people used to call me Mr Williams. i used to tell them, Mr Williams is my father, i wish i could still say that now.

in my initial post i said partner as opposed to wife! meaning women have pet hates about their men too.

here's another one; we went out for a drink with friends last night and after a sherbet or two she tends to tell a story, then gets half way through a name or descriptive word then changes the subject. it's weird for our friends as i know what she's on about, but they cant have a clue.

chances are that the shop you bought it from gave you a complimentary lead as so often happens, to make you think your getting something for nothing, but in actual fact all they've given you is a cheap and nasty lead that they bought a box-full of for that purpose for next to nothing.

as i said above; cheap components, cheap product = crap sound.

having said all that about curly leads, some of the top guitarists, like Brian May, used curlies, as Freddy mentioned in one of their concerts; " Brian May, he of the curly hair and curly leads" or words to that effect. of-course he didn't have to put them away at the end of the gig, or pull them out next time!

talking of Beatle guitars, i think John Lennon's black Rickenbacker does it for me.

Rickenbacker bass as played by Chris Squier of Yes.

John Lennon (again) his blond Gibson. almost bought one, didn't like the arm, too flat!

Status Quo and their Telecasters (partly the reason why I've got one)

Brian May's home made guitar, which is now available over the counter! not his actual one but copies...DUH

Mark Knopfler's guitar (don't know the maker but I think it's a luthier from New York?

Paul's Hofner bass, I almost bought one from the Beatles museum on Liverpool dock, lefty too!

Steve Howe and his pedal steel.

i cant believe no one remembers this joke from way back in the 50's

what did he have on his coffin?

thanks guys, is a song or tune ever over? i had 2 or 3 video studios i got for my old XP machine, which didn't work...so i down loaded a couple, not a good idea as i wanted a freebee and they are all try-outs! then i found that there is a fairly good studio in windows...so i'm experimenting and hopefully get some nice vids from it. i find that the sound you get on YOU-TUBE is far superior to my space, so.....

Tony, LISTENINGABLE? it will probably get into the Oxford English dictionary next year, just make sure they credit you for it
