I'm trying not to, but Mrs Rich keeps showing me these houses she's finding at the other end of the bloody country...

I'm lucky enough to be in two completely brilliant bands. My great fear is that if I lose them for any reason (e.g. moving out of the area), I'll never find anything again. My age is against me, for starters.

@mckendrick. Long time lurker but a supporting member. I understand he'd been very unwell.

This morning's earworm, straight outta nowhere. Haven't listened to it for years. As earworms go, this is proper lush.

Lydney Town Hall last night with the Soul Destroyers... tickets sold out a week ago and they were a great crowd, especially after they'd availed themselves of the bar... it was our first time with this promoter and I think they liked us... In the interval between sets, they asked if we could play next year's NYE.

I played in an am-dram pantomime pit band some years back in Chippenham, it was a great time. Did three years with them, it's an experience I'd instantly recommend to anyone. "Oh no you wouldn't!" Oh yes I would. Etc.

Ian Jury and the Blockheads - check them out. @Frank Blank was their drummer until his fall from a penny-farthing whilst recreating the whistling solo from his considerable collection of Roger Whitaker 78's.
Wrong thread. You should be here:

Thankfully I don't move gear that often but I do have a foldaway trolley for when I do.
Oh yes, a trolley. I use it for everything, have done for years and am now on my 4th.
20ish years ago when I turned up at my first rehearsal with my current band, oh how they laughed at my trolley... Now, all the gear-luggers have got one...

I did my back in 30+ years ago playing 5-a-side... I stretched a leg for a pass I was never going to reach and *PING* something went (don't ask me for a physiological explanation, 'went' is the best I can do) at the base of my back and left me next to immobile for 3 days. It's been a point of weakness ever since, and every so often it will ping again just to remind me. Last time I pinged it by putting on a sock. Combine this with the process of getting old, and lightweight gear has become what I believe they call a 'no-brainer'. My entire current rig weighs about half of what one of my two old 4x10s from many years ago did. My practice/rehearsal amp is a Behringer 60w 1x12 combo and it is by some margin my single heaviest piece of musical equipment.

"...has a total of 20 frets on its pine fretboard"
PINE?? Really?
There are multiple red flags fluttering in the breeze right now.

Having read through these, I've realised just how easy-going I am. My only real dislikes are a} thick clubby necks (because I have small hands and find them uncomfortable), b} pointy headstocks and c} buckeye burl. That's pretty much it.

In this one, it's guitar and bass in unison - does that count?

Another great ska night at my local social club. Everyone else's turn to do the long drive normally I'm the one with the 2 hour round trip. Utterly lovely sound from the SpectorGenzBarefaced trio of doom, as ever. My send/return stomp has developed a fault, so there's a little job for some point before NYE.
