Doug, you crack me up..."more fingers than i was born with"

thanks Peatle. i retired about 4 years ago and as you say i still get that dream; late for work or fallen asleep and the feed is running out, ahhh!

have to say, i loved my job and if the place hadn't closed i would still be there at 66. i'm missing the excersize, you want to see the belly i've cultivated? no you don't....believe me

you tag line says; "music is what feelings sound like..." well, your words are honest feelings musically recited. well done, thanks for sharing.

Well done Peatle, you always seem to be able to put into words what I'm thinking, although I've never thought of it as rapid gunfire. Top marks again.

Trump is always on about American jobs, he could make a name for himself by buying one each for all the White House staff...lol

I won't get one because I don't like the flat, thick neck not because I want to see Gibson to bust, though I wouldn't mind a top end acoustic....

I often think when I see descriptive songs like this...are they fact or made up? This I believe to be a true happening, maybe not on the same trip or the same time. Beautifully written, I don't have my guitar with me and I'd so like to play it.

Post the recording soon

I love Paul Simons work. I recently bought his Graceland's album with all his comments and recording and writing techniques....I found it very informative and insightful...it also shows that any little thing can become a song if you look at it the right way.

I feel used and abused....."why else would I write in here?" Tut tut tut!!! No only joking. It reads like you're running away from some misdeed you perpatrated in your youth?
So when can we expect the recording?

I'm happy with my Peavy which is quite powerful enough and heavy enough. I've more or less given up gigging so buying a new amp is not really cost effective as Ann is already on at me to sell my gear. Something I'm loath to do as I might get the performing but again, or maybe join a band...I think I'd like to do that...one day...

Bit of both I expect Russ. Maybe the prices have gone down lately, I'll check and get back to you on that one in all honesty I haven't looked for many years.

All my kit sit in two boxes...FX, cables, 10 socket extension block, 3 metre extension lead (for places that have no sockets handy) mic stand feet, screw driver set and mini disc's. Guitar, amp and PA, stands and mic stand are all carry on. It normally takes about 30 minutes in a normal venue to carry everything in and set up. I've never done an open mic night but seeing as I'm not playing so much anymore I may do a few.
