Had some thoughts this morning about people throughout the ages who have been taken from their chosen places or homes, and came up with this poem about how they might have felt on arrival in a strange place.
I feel so introverted
Things are locked in side
All my deep emotions
Have just found a place to hide
Once I could express my self
With eloquence and pride
My whole world just fell apart
This wave I got to ride
Taken from a distant shore
To some other land
Unknown faces all around
Words I dont understand
Situation dangerous
Not the life I planned
I feel so introverted
And I need a helping hand
I miss the warm wind blowing
I miss the deep blue sea
Familiar surroundings
The man I used to be
Perhaps one day I will return
And things will be the same
Till then I'm introverted
And live my life in pain

Could be six months Phill if all goes well .
Check out www.brandoniguitars.co.uk for eko guitars and spares I believe they bought up all the old stock from Italy .The new eko guitars aren't the same quality
Mine got some slight damage a few years back when we were renting a house in the uk the house suffered a burst pipe when we were away for a few days and my Eko got wet causing a split in the base near the strap button .However as it hasn't caused any problems with the way it plays or sounds I've not had it to a luthier for repair I just glued it my self .It is my favourite acoustic although I do now keep it in a safe place .
Thanks for the concern Doug we were flying with easyjet from Athens ,ther was a problem at the uk end with a747 stuck on the runway after an emergency landing
Arrived in London this morning in the early hours despite many problems with travel currently relaxing at my sons flat waitin for lunch then a theatre trip tonight
I have a six string which I bought when I was 15 and I love it these guitars are so underrated mine has the lowest action of any guitar I've owned
I d like to hear the bridge pickup I've thought about putting splitable hum buckers on my Black top tele to get that single coil tone .
gtx I will be based near Lancaster but I will probably play in York at some stage while I'm over .My mothers family came from your area it would be nice to play Newcastle ,its a long time since I've been there I used to work for Barry Nobles organisation many years ago and often spent time in Newcastle/Sunderland /Durham and surrounding area.
I think my old pal Dave Gaskell will do bass but were still after a drummer for up north I have no problem in London as all my mates from Power of soul will help out .
Just getting things together for my UK trip on Monday first things first My tele safely packed in its case with drum machine and looper .Sent all my amps and PA to our bass players in case they need to perform some where while I'm away , just need to get some uk gigs sorted when I arrive ,got one booked but its not till march.
Cool poem Brian. We don't see much tinsel here but I must say that over the past few years xmas has started to become bigger business in Crete , but thankfully we still don't have the blatant commerciality that plagues the rest of Europe .
Thanks guys here's another featuring Elpida ,our take on New orders Blue Monday

Plays ok for me ,the voice live sounds good and adds a nice effect .Well played Pete .
Theres been a bit of talk lately about recording what to use etc ,My friend Kev Jones recently ordered a usb mic cable from amazon sadly it didn't work on his chosen program MU lab so last night he aske me to try it on my laptop which has audacity installed .I found it worked fine although there was a little hiss which I had to filter out but certainly at about six pounds its a cheap and quick option if you want to record something Ill do a proper recording soon and post the results but so far I've found it good and it doesnt pick up the monitor if I keep it low just the guitar or my voice so Ive been able to record with out headphones as I dont like to wear them .also there appears to be no latency when you use it.
Found this vid on my external drive from 2012 features my friends Elpida Hatzidakis on Vocal and Lefteris Aerakis sharing lead licks with me .I had the pleasure of playing with both of these friends this week ,some thing we haven't done for a while ,great fun.

I managed to get an acceptable signal through one of the mini mixers now I need to try a proper recording and see how it goes .
I got the same problem joe I'm using audacity and I dont get enough signal Ive tried a pre amp and it just about gets there . my instruction book says take the feed for the interface from the mixer but as my mixer is a huge thing I really dont want to drag it from my store room to the house , it worked well on my old computer so I'm at a bit of a loss have a couple of mini mixers but I dont think they give any signal boost but I'll let you know if it works .Good thing is though I can now deselect the on board mic .
Good info Doug I have the uca222 mini interface which I used on my old computer with no problems but since going to windows 8 it doesnt recognise the audio input and the lap tops inbuilt mic remains on I will try it with the drivers Ive just down loaded .It does however state that the usb port used in the install becomes dedicated and will block any other audio input .
