Hi Cork-92

I cant see any reason why you'd cause any damage to your speakers always assuming they are rated high enough to accept the signal. Obviously you'd need volume control on the monitors as fold back would be lower than out going sound otherwise defeating the object of monitors. I played guitar through my PA for a while until I came to play a big gig where I had to turn up a lot. After that I used my guitar amp for convenience and peace of mind. If you're putting the whole band, albeit acoustic guitars and vocals, you'll need to keep and eye on the mix. Hope this helps.     

I've been wrong all my life it seems, but no plan to change...sorry     

One question Jim, what does "jusing" mean?

That is a very poetic and lyrical song my friend. Seems that book has had a deep affect on you as you have displayed a different style of writing. As it's Sunday I won't be able to try it today but I'll let you know how I get on.     

I have 7 guitars, 2 bass guitars, 2 keyboards and loads of pedals and P.A. equipment. My wife keeps nagging me to sell the stuff I'm not using, as I've retired from gigging, but I have the excuse that I may go back to gigging again, one day! I still love to sit in my studio looking at them hanging on the wall and taking them down from time to time to clean or tune or exercise my fingers for a few minutes. What else is there after retirement TV, go drinking?     

Nice one Pedr, I'd forgotten about that. I took part in the national Eisteddfod when it was held in Llanelli in the late 50's. Because I was tall I was chosen as a soldier so I take it from that that the army was sent in to quell the rioters and as our mini pageant went arrested many. After our performance at the maes, field or showground, we then performed at a local theatre, then at the Albert hall in London. Maybe that's where I got my love of performing from? The skit was called "gat y Sandy" (pronounced, gaat) which is a road leading into town and the gate was positioned on the bridge which is still there.

In primary school I remember the teacher telling us an "apparently " true tale on a farmer arriving at the gate with his donkey cart and being asked to pay, the farmer refused and got turned away. He returned later pulling the cart himself with the donkey inside the cart! The charge couldn't be applied so he got through. I'm trying to remember how the story goes and translate from the Welsh. Hope it makes sense?     

Pedr, your angst leaps off the screen there. I love the fact that the southern hemispheres greatest truthsayer has regained his voice and no doubt throwing eggs in the face of those grocery profiteers!     

Hey Jim, so sweet, your guitar playing is improving and your singing too.     

I understand that Jeff, I was asking if some of our other wordsmiths could offer some insights into this subject? I must say on another reading your imagery is fascinating and brings to light sights we take for granted and reminds me of a stroll I took with a young lady 50 or so years ago down, or up a beautiful privet hedged lane on a warm sunny summer's day, ah the innocence of youth! It would be nice to return to my teens but not that young lady.     

You could be on to something here Graham, it could mean serious consequences and I've often wondered why people would post nonsense replies, unless as you say there is some coded message hidden so the authorities don't suspect? The moderators need to be more diligent and ban and remove these idiot posts ASAP.     

We'll ignore that pre-spam above. Graham that may have been rubbish to you but the punters like what the punters like unfortunately.

Sounds like you had a great buzz going on. (That young lady preferred to look at herself than the band?) I wish I could have come to that party, maybe next year? LOL     

Hi Graham. I'd love to see your vids but I won't join Facebook for many reasons, if you could post them on YouTube I'd be grateful.
