Daz39 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) Yep, Dingwall even do a hot rod striped Z2 signature for him, as well as regular signature Zs. He and Tony Levin will still be sessioning happily in another 50 years. Not sure they’ll outlast Keef though...

Nice! Yes, he did a seminar at the LBS some years ago and played excerpts (on his laptop) of stuff he played on: he talked about playing with Billy Cobham. I had Spectrum on vinyl years ago, as I was a Mahavishnu fan and saw them a Newcastle City hall as a callow youth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a grand feeling when the wind takes you by the whiskers. I can tell you from first hand experience. Mr Sklar also enjoys aerosol whipped cream direct from the can. There's a YT clip of it on his channel. You've got to be brave to get into that sort of extreme beard growth.

I'd have trouble getting a whole kitten in each ear to be honest. Isn't there a better substitute for earplugs? A couple of small rodents perhaps?

It's got to be kittens or you just can't hear the meowsic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought of Wirral Park Road, but was 6 hours at Townsend Shopping Park: just think we were that close to meeting up😂. Still if you spent £60 on groceries you got 10p a litre off fuel so it was worth the journey....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a shame! I'd have paid a lot more than that for a meet-and-greet! 😉 (BTW, before anyone thinks I'm a stalker: I am indeed a stalker but not in this context; I never zoomed out after my Google Maps search, so I still don't even know where in the UK Somerset might be. 😁 ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
