Saturday Night Fish Fry - Louis Jordan

These Boots Were Made For Walking - Nancy Sinatra

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.

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.

Crash - The Primitives

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.

Cooler than the coolest thing ever. 😎

The First Cut Is the Deepest - Cat Stevens / P. P. Arnold

Slooper Duper Love - Joss Stone

Armourgeddon It - Def Leps

I might have to tap you for that list too .. I'm trying to get more gigs over this way for the ska band.

Warm Wet Circles - Marillion

Mask, goggles, gloves... why is it that so many of these materials are just desperate to kill us?
