True that. They always claimed it was a homage to Berry. How much Berry nicked from his pianist Johnnie Johnson and plenty of blues musicians that preceded him can only be guessed.

It’s what I will most likely get when my current Mac mini dies. Best thing Apple ever came up with alongside the iPhone.

I have a MIJ Hondo Professional which is one of my favourite basses. I’ve sold on US Fenders, MIM Fenders and have hung onto it. I’ve also played a Hondo 2. It was shite.

I watched Echo in the Canyon last night. More innocent times when creative people borrowed from each other’s work to push the boundaries forward. The Beatles nicked bits from The Byrds who borrowed heavily from the folk scene and inspired The Beach Boys who pushed the boundaries that pushed The Beatles forward and so on. No Lawyer involved. Just creativity and mutual respect.

Like antennas to heaven - Godspeed You! Black emperor

Sweet Jane - Lou Reed

Possibly or maybe the ladies are smart enough to work out that the chance of financial success as a musician is so low that they study hard, get the best grades and go to the best universities.

The world is not a fair or just place but a little levity goes a long way.
