Stevie Ray Vaughan has his guitar tech well trained!

I don’t want to spoil anyone’s fun, but I just remembered another watch story.

I asked Derek, my workmate, what he got from his wife for Xmas(about 10 years ago). He said he got an automatic winder for his […]

Amazon music that you haven’t paid for, will only play using the Amazon app. If you have paid for it, you need to download it onto your pc( I don’t know about apple stuff, but assume it’s the same) and burn the […]

Lovely story Podicle! Thanks for that. Made me remember my dad and watch story.

I haven’t worn a watch since my mid twenties(a Seiko, that I probably still have somewhere).

When my dad passed, my mum asked […]

Pirates of the Caribbean have a “Fisher’s Hornpipe”. Not a sea shanty, as it’s an instrumental. We used to play a version tacked on to a fishing song.

Coincidentally, tonight when I plugged in my kettle to make tea, to go with my fish and chips, the plug started smoking black reek. Switched off the kettle, then the socket and unplugged it. Black marks on the […]

Since you mentioned golf course….daisy cutter is a golf shot. One that never gets more than a couple of inches off the ground, but still goes a good distance. Also known as a Sally Gunnell in the old days(ladz banter).

There was someone famous, who hated soundchecks, when, at soundcheck, he’d say ‘this won’t take long, did it?’.

Jerry Douglas maybe?

Fiction – Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart.

This story has just won the 2020 Booker Prize. I usually buy some of the shortlisted books, and in general I find them too deep, or too highbrow for my liking. This is […]

Can’t remember whether it was a pal of mine, or some character on tv who would say, “got to go and send an urgent mesage to 10 Downing St.”.

I like that! I got fed up of him releasing new records every week, so I just forgot about him. He almost sounds like ’70s melodic Neil Young to me.

I play this one at open mic sessions. Zoom sessions these days.

Watching The Wheels.

It’s the man behind the mask. The unreliable narrator. Listen to Fat Babies by Lyle Lovett, or especially Short People or Political Science by Randy Newman. Newman sings ‘climb aboard little wog, and sail away […]

Never really been a festival goer(small ones only and most recent about 7 years ago), so no. Also, I don’t know much about Findlay, and less about his brother.
Findlay played at our club, but I missed him. My pal […]

Are you familiar with this fella doc? This is a great album.

Sounds good to me. Not yet available for order on the tax dodgers yet, but I will be getting it. Been a fan of both forever it seems.

Thanks for the heads up!

Just a strummer here. I know nothing of modes. Am I thinking of something else, or does it have 2 strings tuned exactly the same?

The bloke in the shop told me how much fun they were, but I thought the ukulele […]

If I remember correctly, it can only play the major scale in whatever key it’s in. Like harmonicas, you need about a dozen of them if you want to cover the whole range(of major scales).

That old blues feller, Seasick Steve has had a 20 year career playing a 3 string guitar.

Saw this, and thought of you @Junior_Wells

I know where to get it cheaper….just £125.
