A truly laugh out loud story, I read it out to Ann and she laughed too. I hope everything is OK now? It must have been an awful experience, but at least you got a great story might have been in a Charly Chaplin movie.

that's a relief Russ, as you told Zurf, i've bought mic's strings and stuff, even a drum kit (electronic) but not a guitar.

Sorry to hear about your disappointment, but it does make a good point about taste and try before you buy. I was tempted to buy  a Rickenbacker as per John Lennon (the black and white one) from an on-line shop, tried one in a local shop and hated it, that's when I bought my Telecaster, the very guitar I didn't want...so I thought. Well done for being tough enough to return it.

One hell of a rant, that guy is peeved!

When I bought my first guitar I also bought a book and picked up tips from friends. I don't rate myself as a guitarist... OK I think I'm tidy as a rhythm guy but as a solo guitar/vocalist, I like to throw in a solo or two and some twiddly bits to offset my boredom as I'm playing the same songs night after night. Oops sorry tangent time, back to the plot...

It annoyed me that after the guitar heroes came the punks then synths! What happened to learning your art?oops another tangent!

I never liked the flat neck on Gibbies, loved the crunchy sound and I love the acoustic sound, hated the price!!! You can do more with a Fender... all day long.

I'll be sad if Gibson's do go through but I won't lose any sleep over it.

thanx xxx

You've captured the essence of busking and conversation with this piece. Back in the 60s I read a piece in the Melody Maker about a guy calling himself Englebert Humperdinck....hippy times! So I thought what a cool name must be good! Not to my ears though, cos I judged him before hearing him. His only song I liked was 10 Guitars but the rest of his music....no!

I like the sound of a Les Paul but I wouldn't buy one. I like an Aston Martin, but I wouldn't buy one...unless I won the lottery...dream on.

I like the Mammas and the Pappas but I've never bought one of their records. As for Michael Jackson....I like some but not all his stuff. That's me. This busker may have made you think but in the end he was bullying you into his opinion.

Hi Austin, welcome aboard the Chordie gravy boat. As you're the newbie it would be nice to know a little about yourself, where you're from, do you play, what you play and how long etc.

So glad you came to the correct forum to introduce yourself, most don't...we all make mistakes.

Have fun and join the conversations.

Thanx TF, total enjoyment. I listened to both tracks mentioned plus Another Brick, Stairway to Heaven and Owner of a Lonely heart. All covers, all brilliant. One worrying thing was Boris Johnson on keyboards! I think you need to be a Brit to understand that one

I've split and moved this post and Jets reply.

Thread bombing to me is like photobombing. So eleczo, if you want to join in a conversation keep to the theme. If you want to begin your own thread open a new topic. If you're thinking of adding spam.... DON'T!

once again i have to apologise...sorry, i may have listened to other songs by some other artist?
i don't know why but it seems your song is no longer available, i hope you didn't take it down thinking i was being negative? i wasn't it is a very good song well performed. the other songs must have been on some kind of link so i thought they were you? in a totally different style i may add.
so when do we hear more of your music?

when i play a gig, depending if it's a club or pub i would wear a black shirt and trousers or jeans and tee shirt.
i'd never dress like the act i'm going to see, i'm a bit boring like that.

i used to love Leo Sayer in his clown days and i used to do a parody of him when i played in a band back in the 80's complete with make-up
