Earbrass

What we should really be discussing is whether or not he was influenced by the Beatles at all. I'm going to say..........no. Any other opinions?

We're off to see them at the O2 on Thursday. Probably wouldn't have bothered on my own account, much as I love their output from the early 70's, but Mrs. E has somehow managed to go her whole life without ever going to a big rock gig, so this is largely for her benefit.

Seriously? Perhaps I'm getting old - I thought everyone would get the reference. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQNYUJIW4sw @2.25)

... he played all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.

Smoke on the Water takes some beating - there's a reason it's become such a cliche. Same goes for Beethoven's 5th..... and Brown Sugar too come to that.

Not much of a problem, but what's going on here? There have been plenty of posts in this forum since June.

Clearly a superlative bass player.

Thanks - once I deleted the old links and re-pasted them it worked fine.

Anyone worked out how to embed Youtube videos yet? Tried editing existing posts, using http & https at the start, with and without [media] tags, but no luck so far....

Värttinä tonight, here in Hämeenlinna. Then Deep Purple at the O2 on Nov 23rd. Next after that it's,er, Värttinä again in Southampton in December. Groupie? Me??

Ah, another chance to post this... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otbtDNT6FA8[/media]

I was going to ask why you were browsing the swimwear section, but then I read the "member title" above your avatar. Makes sense now.

As far as I understand it (as a PRS member and ex-PRS employee), there is no difference based on degree of fame etc, however, it is possible that one will receive royalties and the other not because royalties on some broadcast outlets are based on random sampling of their output. EDIT: The thing about random sampling is based on what I was told when I queried why I hadn't had a payout after some music of mine was played on a local radio station - that was back in the mid 1990's so things may have changed. Certainly I never had that issue with national radio or TV channels.

Needs the money to buy socks. And English lessons.

Please tell me I'm not the only one to have misread this thread title!

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1506639912' post='3380175'] How do guys like me, I can't be the only one, deal with this overall lack of interest or compassion for the 4 gig a week lifestyle? Not happy. Blue [/quote] I don't really understand this. What are you unhappy about? The fact that not too many musicians want to gig 4 nights a week? The real question is whether there is a [b]demand [/b]for bands to play 4 nights a week. If there is, then bands will be hired and the work will be available to those willing to do it. The fewer musicians willing to do it, the easier it should be for you to get that work. It might involve playing in several bands, but that's the life of the pro musician. Are you really suggesting that there are bars wanting to put on live music 4 or more nights a week and are unable to do so because they can't find bands willing to play?? Maybe the thread should be questioning how many gigs per month people are interested in attending, rather than how many they are willing to play.

I have (very reasonable) instrument insurance through New Moon and the policy includes substantial PLI. Maybe check whether you already have it?

Douglas bought a tape editing block from me and was a pleasure to deal with.
