Sorry

I started as an Instrument Apprentice in 76 and found myself using both imperial for older kit and metric for any new kit purchased. In those days Instrumentation was more pneumatic control in psi with new or foreign kit coming in barg. Temperatures varied from Fahrenheit to Celsius to Kelvin Pressures from psi to Barg to BarA (atmospheric) Distance was a combination of imperial and metric Weight was pounds / stones to Kg Coming from an age where holidays abroad meant conversions to francs, drachma, Pesetas and eventually Euros. Happy days. Dave

It happens just relax and it will come back to you. The more you think about it the more it will evade you. Dave

But all good fun and you seem to be having a great old laugh doing it. Dave

A drummer with respect for hid bandmates. A rare thing indeed. Dave

But where's this rehearsal gonna end up ? A secret Daffodil, a rare snare toweller and their co-conspirator bassist. I dread to think what could happen next. 😂 Dave

Of course they are 🤣 Dave

I can see there's an oddly sinister side to you that we've not seen before. 😂 Dave

Glad you're on the mend and getting back to routine. Take care and don't overdo it. All the best. Dave

Glad you're on the mend. Just take it easy with the ankle and no jogging or running up stairs for a few weeks. Dave

I've always thought he must be slapping with a finger rather than thumb and pulling with his thumb. Otherwise i cant get my head round how he does it. An incredible player. Loved it when he played with Gino Vannelli especially Brother to Brother album and even coached / helped Sandin Wilson who took over bass duties with Vannelli. Again another fantastic bassist. Dave

TBH i'd love to visit that venue and enjoy the food and the entertainment. Pity its a bit far away tho. Dave

Hope all is ok Daryl. At our age we need to be more careful mate. 😂 Have you considered one of these ? 🤣 Dave

Jings that's posh looking Pete. Dave

I've always wondered how he plays slap on his upside down lefty bass. ? Dave

Again so nice. You guys have a great sound together. Dave

One of my mates did similar thing with Games Without Frontiers. His band are called Anchorage Alaska. Worth a look if a Gabriel fan. Dave

Absolutely brilliant. Some cracking vocals on there and your bass sounds so smooth and warm. Very nice playing. I'm also a fan of some of Peter Gabriel's music but not all but that was so good. Loved the wee vid you made too, it makes a difference to a song when you have a fun vid to watch. Many many thanks for sharing that, i really enjoyed it. Now correct me if i'm wrong but did i count 4 different girls in that clip ? One in particular has an amazing range taking the higher vocal parts her voice remained faultless. I like to hear that kind of vocal line. Dave

What made you decide to go with a pick rather than fingerstyle. Just curious as i've struggled with that issue over 40 yrs but always remained fingers. Usually guitarists that wanted me to use a pick because that's what they do 😂 Looks like it was a good gig and nice looking J bass too. Dave

Great that it felt right and not awkward. Good to hear your feedback on it as i remember it wasn't an easy decision for you to walk away. That's a nice happy Sunday morning story to cheer us all up. Dave

Same goes for your MM fretless. That would be good to hear as well if its possible @ezbass. Dave

We definitely need some vids of this set up @Norris sounds like a good fun night based on your playing technique description. Dave

How did it feel being back in the old band after 6 yrs away @Lozz196 ? You were with them a long time if i remember right. Dave

No probs enjoy your meal, sorry for interruption ................ twice 😂 Dave
