Enjoyed that. Thanks for posting it up

I tore the tendon of the ring finger of my fretting hand playing rugby many years ago, and have a cracking scar for my troubles. The finger in question got back about 80% of its movement and works well enough. My one piece of advice would be to work through all the physio you're prescribed and don't shirk it. It'll be worth it in the long run

Something to fire up the crowd

My funeral song

In no particular order: Stingray 4H in honeyburst Jack Casady in wine red Rickenbacker 4005 in fireglo

Another vote for Beefheart: people seem to struggle with Trout Mask Replica in particular. On the jazz front: Ornette Coleman

Mozart's Requiem Mass on the way in. Herb Alpert - Spanish Flea on the way out

Of course it's special: it's on a Rickenbacker But otherwise, yeah, it's just black really

As part of a middle aged couple with a food obsession, a dog and no children it's almost as though her show was designed explicitly for me. Just need to get the moho for the full set

Thanks Andy

Thanks it doesn't get a lot of use these days as the Tele much better fits a Country sound. I don't think I'll ever part with it though. I toyed with a 360/12 when I got it: always been a big Byrds fan. AC30 sounds like the perfect partner for it. Still tempted by a 4001

Can anyone spot the general colour theme?

Yes, I was thinking particularly about the hype that Screamadelica attracted. Great album but not remotely the work of genius it's often portrayed as imho.

As much as I like Stone Roses and Primal Scream I think they're both massively overrated. On the other hand, how Jason Isbell isn't one of the biggest stars in music eludes me.

God that's lovely. Congrats, enjoy

Another Tele here: a sunburst Nashville Deluxe. Plus a fireglo Rickenbacker 330/6 and an Epiphone Hummingbird Pro. Thinking about it, this is more guitars than the guitarist in our band has.

Grits here: simple and country. And not to most people's taste

(y) got fobbed off with a very very dark grey bass doing just this

Very sad news Now smoking a cigarette nine miles long

Can't compete with some of these, but in the very late 80s/early 90s* I and around 150 others went to see Tad at the Norwich Arts Centre. They were supported by an up and coming band called Nirvana *it's all a bit hazy

I'm a big Country fan and have been enjoying it. It's noticable though how much looks to have been cut out for the UK broadcast (16 hours down to 9 I think). No Everley Brothers, Don Williams etc. Precious little on country rock, Gram Parsons, Guy Clark, Townes van Zandt. God I sound like a moaning bugger.

Nothing too tricky. Eric Church - Drink in my Hand will do.

Met the original bass player on the day he was born in 1973. He's my little brother. Met the guitarist in 1974, when we were both four years old on our first day at school. Met the singer ten years later at school. The original drummer was a housemate of the guitarist and singer. One day his computer went in to be fixed and some photos were found. He got a place on the sex offenders register. Our singer is now a teacher, so funnily enough... I became the bass player when my brother left as I was the least competent guitarist. I met the new drummer last Sunday. He's our guitarist's hairdresser. Sorted.

My brother. He left the band so we needed a bass player. I was the second best guitarist...
