That’s great @Richard R I used to find stuff outside of the normal Sunday meetings much more fun, like joint events and the like. 😎🙏 Who was the keys player btw?

I have 3 “bands/projects” that I am involved with. All have a band leader that makes decisions but is open to band input. All 3 BL’s I respect as musicians and people that I trust and respect. I also feel trusted and respected. Definitely my preference. I’ve just started a new project, inviting 3 other musicians to join. I’ve set out expectations from the start when asking if they’d like to join, they all said yes. I like clarity, it tends to give me more freedom to be creative. Absolute democracy in bands (in my experience) has lead to paralysis and frustration.

Gibsons’ QC budget? Ric’s PR budget? Fenders RD budget? My budget? My budgie? My budgie smugglers’ Oh Lord that last coffee was strooong sorry.

Give the P to me Chris. That way you’ll truly know if you made a mistake or not. All the effort you’ll put in to ask for it back, to no avail, will serve as a useful life lesson. I’m your true friend here. You know my address, I’ll print the label. You’re welcome mate. St John

Well that was underwhelming. Thought he set it up for some juicy goss… Basically he wants crowd funding for a Wal.

My playing?

Never Ever take your double bass into the shower with you! I’ll not make that mistake again.

The north east has produced some canny rock singers.

Yes, exactly what I thought too.

Thanks for the heads up on that @peteb I’ve not heard it. That’ll be tonight’s Apple Music listen 👍🏻😎

I see them a little differently now. Rodger’s is a little subtler, definitely my favourite blues singer, whereas DC is my favourite “belter”. Wish I could sing like either. Agree about the early whitesnake, proper rawk

Burn. My introduction to DP. Up till then I though Paul Rogers was the best rock singer I’d heard. Coverdale blew me away on that track. Hughes’ contribution was an eye opener too. Paice is a bundle of energy. As an aside, Come Taste The Band is my favourite DP album.

Sorry Paul, my brother’s picking it up for me this weekend.

No back on now 🤦🏻‍♂️

I’ll have to pass on this sadly.

Really enjoyed that. What I didn’t enjoy was the gas it induced. I now want a jazz bass to slap to b@ggery. I have no need for one and no context in which to”slappy da bass”, but boy I’ve now got an itch that only a tube of JB and rounds will sate. 😳

Hi, I’d like this please. PM’d
