Ooh I'd forgotten about Gong - Steve Hillage and others. Time to dig out my vinyl copy of ''Live Herald' and give 'Salmon Song' an airing.

Ignore the ugly mug above the mug and look at the mug below the ugly mug above the mug ! ! ! The lower mug was an Xmas present from our guitarist - a man of impeccable taste and unarguable musical appreciation.

Very sad, Mountain were something special. Riff Raff did a 'Mississippi Queen / Nantucket Sleighride' medley. RIP Mr West, you will not be forgotten sir. Chris.

Gudbye T' Jane - Slade

Turning Japanese - The Vapours (I believe)

Oh yes ! Rocco Prestia (bass) and David Garibaldi (drums) - THE rhythm section and the groove behind Tower Of Power. Their playing looked effortless but their contribution was immeasurable.

You Can Keep Your Hat On - Joe Cocker

Just completed a deal with Jim (Bassybert) for some StrapLocks. No problems here - good communications and prompt payment. Thanks Jim, take it easy amigo. Chris

Crazy On You - Heart

The Walk - The Hamsters

Wild Side Of Life - Status Quo

Tower Of Power 'nuff said.

Blue Guitar - Blue Jays (Justin Hayward & John Lodge)

Lady Marmalade - LaBelle

America - The Nice

Upon The My-O-My (Captain Beefheart)

I didn't need a Rickenbacker but I still bought a MapleGlow 4003 (after spending a month thinking about it, trying a few different models/finishes, trawling YouTube and reading many threads here and on other websites). Lovely instrument, looks gorgeous and using the Ric-o-Sound output to drive two separate amps it sounds great. Just need some gigs now.

Money - (Pink Floyd, Flying Lizards, Bern Elliott & The Fenmen etc.....)

This multiplied many many times.

Completed a deal with Russ for some Black Schaller StrapLocks. Excellent communications and a smooth transaction. Thanks amigo, and stay safe. Chris

Devil's Answer - Atomic Rooster

Dance With The Devil - Cozy Powell

Breakfast In America - Supertramp

Take Me In Your Arms (And Rock Me) - Doobie Brothers

Calling Newcastle Brown Ale 'sh*te' is heresy. In my opinion Newcastle Brown Ale was, and still is, a lovely pint. Anyway back 'On Topic' - My Basschat Strap Locks have been delivered safely (thanks Ped). They look the business and will be installed tomorrow. Take it easy and stay safe. Chris
