Don't whatever you do get into a Mark/David Knopfler situation!

That is no surprise. He was conducting the audience for the last 2 numbers. Commiserations to those who will have to wait.

Just woken up in Cardiff after their show. Pino (local boy) played a 57 P bass ( looked like) all night. Daltrey lost his voice; don't know how he will do the O2 gigs on Weds/Thurs!

Jo taught me for a while a couple of years ago. His main 4-string bass is/was a Japanese Fender Jazz; I have since bought one too!

I also recommend his new (not new now, but latest) album Memphis. Stripped back bluesy stuff that's very well worth listening to.

Bought another bass from me - still a top man and recommended! M

Daevid Allen health bulletin from last month: hope he makes it! [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif] On 1st October daevid's course of radiotherapy was completed. During the last phase of treatment it was decided to double the level of radiation and double the number of sessions to two per day. Consequently daevid is frail as could possibly be, far below shattered, very quiet and as Turiya e-mailed, "very introverted", he has also lost a lot of weight - but most importantly the cancer is gone. Now comes the slow journey back to being a healthy, happy, independent 77 year old.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif] When he decided to embrace the radiotherapy course of action daevid said he would commit himself completely and utterly for the duration, and do whatever 'they' said needed to do done. Then, when it was all over, he would commit himself totally to naturopathic pathways back to wellness -[/font][/color]

Alex Welcome to the best bass-playing website ever! I will be passing thru Perth round about this time next year on a 'geriatric gap year' - maybe we can hook up for a tinnie!

Welcome from High Wycombe!
