A man's got to do what a man's got to do..... specially if you're getting the paid.

I did a bit of soldering Sunday now it works fine again.

It's funny though, I seem to get some problem or other everytime I play there. I had a great crowd which helped a lot

It couldn't be me....I couldn't box my way out of a paper bag...lol

who could you be referring to? nice bit of rhyming with a story or is that a message?

First gigs are always the most stressful. Don't worry about solo's, I mess more up than I play perfectly, and I still get asked back.

I can't remember my first gig, it was around 50years ago, but I knew that, that's what I wanted to do.... it's that applause you remember and the buzz as you leave the stage.

Keep it up and do some touching ballads and up tempo songs.

A little update, I was just watching Jools Holland cos Chas & Dave were on and Dave was playing a cigar box guitar, but with 4 strings not 3 and it sounded more like a uke.

Just thought you'd like to know?

edited to change "his to uke" i detest predictive text

Nice rendition Grah, I think I'd give the chord structure a tweek Jim, that B7 doesn't sit well with me. The bluesy feel and Grahs voice all gravelly makes me want to hear TFs version even more.

i read the other day that copyright owners can charge thousands (of whatever currency you like) for just a few seconds of a song played on an advertisement or in a film or TV show.

in the UK pub landlords have to purchase a license  to play music on a jukebox, and a bigger one for live music which is paid to the publishers and a smaller share to the writers and of course the owners of the recordings. so many snouts in the trough, eh? I wonder how it would work if the live artists only played original music?

i understand that Lennon/McCartney made very little in royalties while Epstein was alive, but once they employed Kline their fortunes grew exponentially.

What makes any one better than another. Be they general's, royalty, presidents or dictators! I detest people that "lead" their armies in to battle....from behind, a long way behind. Which is why I have great respect for Nelson who was in the thick of battles and died amongst his sailors.

I also have little respect for "fat cats" million or billionaires that get richer by extorting as much money from the poor as they can get away with. An example of which are the UK government backed money lenders charging over1000% interest rates from desperate people. And they say dictatorship is bad?

Ann think Harry, by the way, is brilliant

ach zo mine herr! you vant da head chopp-ed offn?

seriously though, i heard that prince Charles bought a guitar similar to John Lennon's back in the 60's. and they reckon that Henry the 8th wrote green sleeves, i don't think he recorded it though?

Bossa Nova time...I could almost see those scantily dressed dancers. Problem is...I can't get the tune outa my head!

Thank you Jandle, I much appreciate that you've taken the time to have a listen and comment.

BTW, I'm working on an instrumental medley I'm hoping to complete soon.
