Not unless they get the vaccination rate up! As of 29th December, they'd done 786000, just over 250000/week... That rate would mean I'd expect to be done by August 2024! https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/COVID-19-total-announced-vaccinations-31-December-2020.pdf I'm hoping that with GP surgeries starting on the programme it should get a lot faster.

I wanted to have a good time, all of the time...

I quite fancy one:

This is how Mononeon sorted his low ceiling/headstock/head interactions:

Pay attention at the back! I've posted this at least twice already... Still, it's as good an excuse as any to post it again!

5 minutes of anti-hunt sentiment from our recent Punk 4 The Homeless online benefit for Compass Children's Charity:

Just having a double bill of these 2, while looking for next years (possible!) holiday...

Some jazz, Daddy-o!

Some rockin' Bootsy:

Annoyingly, our Freeview doesn't have this (or many other!) channel... We're on one of those booster sub transmitters - they obviously think us yokels wouldn't be interested in any of that fancy Townie Telly!

Our drummer and guitar player both have difficulty counting to any number other that 4... So they just carry on in 4/4 and I just play the appropriate number of bars so that it all comes right in the end! Luckily our singer understands feel a lot better, otherwise my twiddley bits in 11/8 or 5/4 would be wasted (they probably are anyway!).

I suspect his sons don't identify with their Dad's roots... Friends of mine have been unfortunate enough to encounter Otis in his role as Joint Master of the South Shropshire Hunt!

Here's a ditty from our last online gig...

Our next gig is recorded and ready for online transmission on Saturday 19th at 1810 - all in aid of Compass Children's Charity: https://fb.me/e/WZnOpIit

The final coat of varnish has now dried, so Happy Yulemass!

Ozrics, in all their incarnations, have never failed to impress!

Blockheads!

BTW, my mum's a piano teacher and she always starts with the Waterman book...

craddock Waterman! Her books are the industry standard for beginners... Classical based, but I rather suspect they use the same notes... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Piano-Lessons-Book-Waterman-Harewood/dp/0571500242/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&hvadid=80745491384709&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvqmt=e&keywords=craddock+waterman&qid=1607793502&sr=8-1&tag=mh0a9-21 EDIT! swear filter in daft as a feckin brush shock... F@nny W@terman!

Bootsy's version of Silent Night has some improbably funky bits!

One of the pioneers of rap/rock...

If I'd been on the poll list I'd have won, as I can accurately reproduce (*) not only all of Stanley Clarke's solos in the amazing "Schooldays", but I can do it while supping a pint of Jennings SneckLifter and scoffing a Tunnock's Teacake. * on my record player

My Lightwave Saber fretless with Heavyweight Wal...

Talking of which, my effort this month appears to be a jazzy musing over a bass improvisation of Auld Lang Syne. Just got bagpipes and robot chickens to add! And I'll get my first apology in now...
