Of course - the alternative would be to bin the rehearsal, so it's just a case of weighing up the options. I know what I would do.

IMO if a band member asks for everyone to take a lateral flow test at short notice before a rehearsal, that's fine. It'll take a couple of minutes. We're in strange times. It's OK to be inconvenienced a little more to reduce the risk as much as possible. Sometimes you don't know how you'll feel until it comes to the crunch... like most of us, I'm desperate to gig again, and I've been sitting like a coiled spring waiting for the opportunity to come up. A few days ago I was offered a gig for this weekend, but when I thought about it - and the fact that it was indoors - I actually declined. I surprised myself, but it didn't feel right to say yes.

Because some changes can be adapted to, whereas others can be considered backwards steps.

^^^ It would be nice if the line break / paragraph spacing could be sorted out.

I'm getting it on Safari (the browser, that is - I'm not an an African adventure at the moment). Sorry if this has all been covered already. Just catching up..!

Also - is 'Pressing return only gives you a single line break, not a paragraph break' a new thing? I can't remember.

This is what I see re: RH gap. If the ad was integrated into the main content I guess that would sort it. Mind, it's not going to bother me too much as I don't really view it at that width.

I asked him to go light on mine, and I was very happy when it arrived.

I absolutely love that.

I wouldn't miss 'em. They're a bit early 2000's.

I'm not sure there was ever a huge demand for that...

Most of my favourite album covers have a grey theme going on.

Huge difference when there's people in the room.

Aye… it’s a bit Ed Friedland.

Let’s be honest - that’s basically an advert. I want one.

I couldn’t get away with the SABDDI mid-suck - it was right where the character of my basses lived - so I switched to the EBS Microbass and which worked much better for my needs.

…nice to see a vaguely bitter post in the comments from Jonathan King on the Chris Charlesworth link above. Ha ha.

Looks like it…! Full disclosure - the author is a good friend of mine (no freebies though - I bought my copy with my own cash monies). We can all be thankful there’s a Strat book out there now, and it’s a good’un. I always think it after I’ve read books from this era, but… what a time to be alive. Gutted I missed it.

Lindisfarne & Genesis, really, Can't comment on CC's contribution, but it's certainly very readable.

Hey gang I’ve just finished reading this marvellous new book about Tony Stratton Smith, a remarkable and secretive chap. Well worth a few hours of your time, even if you just have a passing interest… https://www.waterstones.com/book/strat/chris-groom/chris-charlesworth/9781912782611

The Handbox melts my heart.

Spot on, that.

Mixed feelings on this one. It was only a matter of time before someone pointed out PiU's similarity to Subterranean Homesick Blues, so he took the best option and 'fessed up. See also Zeppelin, Cream, and decades' worth of folk & blues etc. Having said that, I do think there are legitimate cases where more unique melodies have clearly been pinched. But I'll let the legal eagles worry about all that.

...and Joni asked him out to lunch, so he's basically better than any of us at anything.
