That is so true Kelly. It is a pity that governments cannot think the same way.

Re: where is everybody from?

Hi all, I live in Fleetwood Lancs England and I started playing guitar back in 1958 when I was 14. I am now 63 and after a few stops and starts on electric and then on classical I'm back playing again after an absence of maybe 10 yrs. I am rubbish but I get a lot of pleasure out of playing and it gives me an oportunity to set myself some goals now I have retired.
Bless you all and enjoy.

Good stuff Mike, Nice to see that you are a' one man woman'

Deep Purple now there's a band I would love to see live. I say call in sick and go. Seems like our chances of seeing bands we grew up with are far and few between these days.
I am still amazed I got to see "The Band" a few years ago. a concert I'll always remember.

   Hey Old Doll the only french i had was in high school some 30 years ago. Only thing i remember is ferme la port which i think is close the door? Anyway I failed french class but still made it through high school.Someone in Ireland needs to turn off the rain switch and turn on the sun switch.

May the sun hit you both today....Badeye.

Hi

I'm from Bradford, Yorkshire.

Started playing when I was 13 in 1957 in the middle of the rock and roll era.  Did my first gig with a couple of friends last year at 62 years old.  IT'S NEVER TOO LATE.
