Banana Yellow..? Burnt Peach..? Rhubarb and Custard..? (OK, strictly speaking, not fruit, but...) Rich Plum..? Tomato Red..? (Yes, it's a fruit..!) Am I getting warm..?

Indeed, I fully agree. (I'm a drummer. ...)

This one..? Amazon : 5-String Bass Guitar Scale Wall Chart ... I say 'Chapeau..!' to anyone actually learning any or all of these. Must have the memory of a troop of elephants.

... with pits in the floor for those taller than the 'same height' height..? This will go down as a date to remember. ...

And the winners are... @AndyTravis, @lurksalot and @upside downer..! Here, then, are your Winner's Certificates (download and save as pdf file, then proudly print and frame...) ... BC_Chal_Cert_2024_03.pdf ... which looks like this (but bigger, of course..!)...

Can you 'la la la' the melody into a mic' and post it here..? It would help, Shirley..?

Indeed, the piece stands or falls on the end harmonics. Such a shame to ruin it that way.

Not sure if it counts as a 'jam'; I made a marmalade with courgettes from the garden and clementines (bought in season in trays from the supermarket...). Despite my boiling it up to the right temperature, it wouldn't set, even after several weeks after potting up. I poured all the jars back into a pot, and added a few sachets of powdered gelatine and re-potted. It's now perfect, and stays on the toast as it should, instead of flowing off all over the table. Pleased..? Yes, I am, rather.

Well, at least it wasn't Hounslow (pronounced 'Arnsler'...), but admittedly less posh than Kingston. My upbringing was Bedfont-based; this explains a lot.

Treachery, really, as there was less innuendo with simply 'Staines' (there are no stains on the Thames there...). The original name was fine, and had a history... '... It later appears as Stanis (1167), Stanys (1428), Steynys and Staynys (1535), before the modern spelling "Staines" is first used in 1578. The name derives from the Old English stān, meaning "stone", and may refer to a Roman milestone on the London to Silchester road that survived into the early Anglo-Saxon period....'

Yeah, but I'm old, innit. T'was definitely there, but had a far dingier look than the clean, white, sterile photo of the area since. High brick walls made it a rather insalubrious place to wander, and in the dark, even frightening, with a tunnel through under the railway line back towards Staines centre. How things change, eh..?

Give the kid her pencils back. ...

You are Alanis Morissette and I claim my five pounds.

Nothing wrong with that. Suitably sober, adds to the whole song. Well done.

That wouldn't work; IP addresses are between 0 and 255.

Maybe speed up a couple of the longer tracks to get the overall playing time right..? If the pitch goes up a little on those tracks, it shouldn't show, as long as it's not 'Pinky'n'Perky' speed. Just a thought.

Sorry (maybe it's me; it's late...); how is the p/u connected to the jack plug..? Is it soldered..? Can you post a photo of your connection..? 'Buzzing' will occur if the amp is turned up with no decent connection to its source (the p/u...). The p/u should be soldered to the jack socket, and a screened lead plugged in to the socket, then to the amp. Does it still 'buzz' when connected like that..?

Read this, maybe..? https://garethdylansmith.com/reviews/2020/10/18/phil-mann-chord-tone-concepts

It wouldn't have helped you anyway; we can't see you dancing on Soundcloud.

Is there any other way..? I've never thought of it, but I can't imagine how one may not do this (nor yet silence that little voice incessantly rattling away between one's ears...).

I found myself humming a melody, over the space of a few days, and thought, after a while 'What is that..?'. Upon searching a bit, it turned out to be a piece I had, myself, composed a few years earlier..! Dummkopf..!
