Waterloo Festival! Eddie was walking along the beach round about the time I was playing! Back playing with the China's, off and on, have been for a couple of years. Even played Hanna Hanna a few times. Hadn't been played since '83, seems like nobody could work out how I do it. Not telling! There's a live version from the Ahoy in Rotterdam in '83, which even I hadn't heard till a few weeks ago. Grin like a Cheshire cat in the gym when that came on. Back playing fretless, 5-string, now. Haven't loved playing this much in years, and I'm 60. Gig at every opportunity till you drop, I've learned that too many times in the last 20 years. Just do what you love.
I saw CC at one of their annual Christmas party gigs in The Cavern on Friday night. Brilliant atmosphere, and topped off by being able to stand and watch Gazza playing Hanna Hanna. To be honest, I'm still none the wiser at how he does it!! On just about every other song, the right hand looks like it is barely stroking the string, such a laid back style, but on Hanna Hanna, all hell seems to break loose! Sounds other worldy to me!
