Hired assassin.

Good musicians of any description tend to be busy. On here we make fun of drummers, guitarists and keyboard players, but how many of us could be called to play ‘any’ gig at a moments notice? If you’re going to advertise then keep away from Join my band, it seems to attract some very odd people. Local Facebook groups can be good. They tend to weed out the guys who’re only capable in their own minds or bedrooms.

Behringer’s idea of investing in research and development is buying a new photocopier.

Snarky puppy were charging similar for Ronnie Scott’s recently.

It’s been the lineup for the best part of 50 years though, and arguably the most successful lineup, certainly in commercial terms.

I would have been surprised if Chester Thompson had been playing. Apart from it being Phil Collin’s son who’s replaced him, Chester Thompson is in his 70s, no disrespect to anyone where who’s that old 😁

I never liked the PG era Genesis at all. Which is strange because I love Gabriel’s solo work.

I can see what you mean, but people go, and the majority probably really enjoy it.

I hadn’t heard about the alcoholism.

What’s happened to him? I never really liked his later solo stuff, even his cat has fallen asleep, right in front of the drum kit.

I’ve never heard ripples. It’s relative I guess what’s old to me isn’t for you 😁.

Their last tour featured quite a lot of older Genesis material. They’re one of those bands where people seem to like them based on when they started listening to them. My uncle gave me a cassette of Duke when I was a child, that’s the period I like. I don’t really get their early stuff at all, my brother does though. Their three sides live is excellent. It’s funny but I like Peter Gabriel, but only his solo work.

Research has actually shown the 1918 strain to be no more virulent than any other. There were other factors to consider, poor nutrition, overcrowded and insanitary conditions in camps and hospitals. This lead to superinfection. How many were already in a poor state of health following the war?

I thought Coronavirus was more deadly, tens times more deadly is what I’ve read.

Yet another reason to use self checkouts 😊

That’s what I thought. I was hoping it would be possible to donate directly. I worry about that kind of thing.

Anyone ever done this? Almost two years ago I recorded a friend of mine playing some flute pieces that I’d composed. I never got around to doing anything with them. Unfortunately he’s recently been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I’ve edited and arranged the recordings, and added some pIano to them, I now have five tracks that I’m planning on releasing via Bandcamp, with all proceeds going to Macmillan Cancer Support. I want it to be as open and transparent as possible, preferably with all proceeds going direct to them, rather than to me and me having to pass it on. I’ve looked on Bandcamp and can’t see a way to do that. Has anyone else done this, how did you do it?

This. Who is seriously either going to be able to tell any difference between your tone and that on the record, or really be bothered?

I love browsing around these things.

Buy new. Unless something is very new and relatively simple in design; the Line 6 doesn’t sound simple, therefore more to go wrong. Few things seem built to actually last nowadays.
