No, no, no. Horrible things almost exclusively manufactured from synthetic materials derived from precious mineral by-products.

Try a thermal cotton vest with a cotton Mousqueton or Seasalt smock over the […]

Even if you’re not a guitar head, Walters collection of acoustic guitars is a beautiful sight to behold.

Yeah, but let’s assume a more objective, possibly less positive view. What do you really think ‘woke’ is?

“I am woke”

“Do you mean you are aware?”

“Yes”

“Well why don’t you say that. Tosser”

Which is why it is so sort after.

You mean The Penneultimate Pasta Cookbook.

If you’v not tried them already I would suggest Elixir Nanoweb bronze strings. They last forever! I too play Ovations, but deep bowl and they compliment each other very well. (I too would suggest 12’s).

They are […]

That, like the Afterword, is so woke.

What was a lark doing in Scotland? I thought they were English. Was it on holiday?

Quite. The song contains the lyric:

‘If you try to do the cat in

I would imagine this song is set in LA?

It’s so depressing. This scene is probably seen anywhere in the US, or at least is was when the ‘Vet’ moniker was still alluring.

I produced a stupid, happy famil […]

Another Afterword favourite, but one I’ve never really checked out. Now corrected with my purchase of the 2005 remaster. £1.03 c/o the Dodgers. God, this place is costing me money.

Yes, I can see the appeal. Perhaps when I first heard and loved it at 24 I was just trying to be down with ver kids!

Lovely stuff – hints at the interpretative guitar style Walter Becker brought to Steely Dan.

Just out of interest, why do you think of Rattlesnakes as a ‘student album’?

Jazz-classical? Jaques Loussier – oh yes,

Super. I have just reserved my copy from our local music emporium, Help The Aged.

Yes, but they have the least now and are likely to have less.

Exactly. It is too cavalier an attitude to assume a crash and burn ‘will teach them’. Teach them what?

The people with most to gain from no deal will be relatively unaffected. The great majority may stew in the […]
