Interesting. When I saw them there were no electronics apart from amplification. Perhaps I should check out his newer stuff a bit more, too. Haven't done so for a while. I'm glad you liked their playing.

Hello Staggers, a bit off-topic and a (partly) non-bass related question but since you are a bluegrass man, have you ever heard of the Canadian ukulele player James Hill? He plays bluegrass too, among other things, and he is an amazingly good player. I had the pleasure to see him and his wife Anne Janelle (on cello and EUB and with a fine voice) a few times at the Shetland folk festival in 2018 and they were superb.

My wife has bought me an acoustic bass and a Tele. We are not rich but we both work and don't question each other's purchases.

Bad Moon Rising by CCR (on guitar). In the early 70s that seemed to be most players' first song, where I was, at least. 3 chords, no barres. House of the Rising Sun came shortly thereafter but required an F chord.

Kevin Bloody Wilson. At least he's the first I heard it from, a long time ago.

You may well be right, but it's still a pity. I saw Peter Green with the Splinter Group in the early 2000s, and I guess he wasn't at his best, but I enjoyed it and at least I saw him. Similarly I saw Johnny Winter in Leverkusen in 2010 when he could barely make it on to the stage, but he played well, I think, and I'm glad I went. Once they are gone, they are gone.

Happy birthday, John. I had tickets for this gig in Cologne. It didn't happen. Don't remember why ...

Sting, tomorrow in Cologne. Slightly delayed ...

As it happens, I was in Scotland last month. Oban, Stirling, Glasgow (briefly) and St. Andrews. I try to make it every year or two. Maybe next time! 😀

I live in Germany. It's a bit far ... 😄

No apology necessary. I'm not offended 😁, just wondered, you being a fellow Scot and all.

Hi Dave, may I ask why you refer to Paisley as being in Glasgow? It isn't, it's the 5th-biggest city/town in Scotland, and I should know, being a Buddy. I don't mean to be argumentative at all. I'm just curious.

He did indeed. I saw him in Mannheim on that tour and I certainly didn't expect him to be playing bass.

Curtly Ambrose plays bass in the reggae/soca band Spirited, with Richie Richardson on guitar.

Shock horror!
