I popped into the Gibson Garage today. Hundreds of Les Pauls, plus other guitar models and one area of a wall about 6 feet wide with a handful of basses. Fell in love with a Korina flying V until I saw it was c£10K. Some nice Epiphones downstairs — The missus particularly liked one of the basses, a yellow newport, but again only a few basses. Everything at full list price and many of the T-shirts were £69, although there were some cheaper ones from about £28. The nicest bass in the place was probably an inverness green non-reverse thunderbird for £2200, but I already have a faded pelham blue one which cost me considerably less.

Nice!

I have one of the Andertons exclusive Lake Placid Blue Classic Vibe ones. I've not really had any real cause to use it in anger so far, but its great fun to mess about on. The strings that come with it aren't up to much, and the low E was way too floppy so I put on a (not cheap) set of LaBella Bass VI flats which are a great improvement. One thing I would change if I could would be to have some way of locking the vibrato.

The main thing I remember about music lessons (in the 70s) was that at my school music was so unimportant that there was no music room, so for lessons we would trek to the neighbouring junior school to use their music room. Our music teacher was an alcoholic and some time before he was relieved of his position at some point he just stopped turning up for lessonsto spend his time in the pub a little further down the road. My class would still trek to the music room at the appointed time, but we would bring our favourite 7" singles in and take turns playing them on the class record player.

Breakfast In Bed — Baby Washington

When we look at a painting we see a frozen moment where time does not pass. This song reflects on the relentless march of time and how certain things, like aging, are inevitable. No matter how much we may want to slow or freeze time, it pushes forwards, pulling us along with it. Time, It Is What It Is Time, It Is What It Is.mp3
