Page two and no one has mentioned Thijs Van Leer?

I shall continue with my solitary vice then. But welcome anyway.... 😀

Welcome Strawbs - is the username a reference to your favourite fruit or to the band? If it's the band, then you're doubly welcome as i thought I was the only Strawbs fan on here!

For auld lang syne..... ....too late to be a Yule log?

Er, thanks. I think. I can be round in about twenty minutes if you're sure it'll help 😕

WHAT????!!!!????

I got them to tune mine in the shop when i bought it....

I suggested that you could be boring instead... 😁

The word "angry" is redundant in that sentence... Just kidding. I don't mind a bit o'banjo now and again - although i find it best enjoyed in moderation 😀

Hee hee. In my case, it means "learn". Then get distracted, forget, learn again, sleep, forget... Rinse and repeat...

Agreed, unless it's done with grace and humour. And a combination of autocorrect and small keyboards is often to blame for the error in the first place

Thank you.... Right, back to it.....

Aaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!!

Fellow BC-ers, can I ask you to please stop posting on the forum for a few days? I have to learn a set of audition pieces for a gig that i really would like to get and you lot are all distracting me from practising. Between Off Topic, General Discussion and the market place, I'm spending time on here which should be spent learning new stuff. So, can you all please quiet down for a few days? (Thinking about it, some of these pieces are a bit challenging - give me a week at least...) Alternatively, just try to be a bit boring while i get my head round these things.... Thank you for understanding

That line is a perfect little gem. Thank you

I was pretty much a musical snob until I turned fifty and actually learned to play an instrument. Up to that point my musical tastes ended around 1977 and were heavily prog and folk influenced. I studiously avoided anything American, metal, punk, funk, pop or disco - and generally any song less than twenty minutes long. Learning to play an instrument and joining a band made me open my ears to a lot of classic albums I'd missed first time round and I'm now listening to things I would have burned thirty years ago. I shudder at the memory of being such an opinionated kn@b for all those years (still a kn@b, mind, just with fewer entrenched opinions). I wish I'd had a teacher like Muzz's....

And the White Heather Club. Whatever that was... some kind of Scottish Supremacist paramilitary outfit perhaps?

Ai thank yew... BC teamwork there

...lucky....

Whatever you’re all on, can I have some?

Haven’t seen Paul Weller around much recently

I’ve branched out in other directions now....

Now that summer is drawing to a close, the shops start to bring out the tinsel and thoughts turn to Yuletide.....and Yule logs

Tim bought a Zoom R24 from me. A smooth and straightforward transaction with a very laid back guy who was a pleasure to deal with throughout. Recommended!
