Pretty cool Scott I'm aware of the DC Azreal thing but why no mention of a flaming sword?

Re: SubZero L410X DSP Column PA System with Bluetooth (5 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I've had problems with Sub zero ,I bought a 20 watt acoustic 2 channel amp and found the mic channel to be very poor quite distorted and not loud enough to match the guitar channel . Gear for music are a great company and they swapped it for a Fender acoustasonic 15 which was mush better and loud enough for small rooms . I would suggest if you live near their showroom you go and try before you buy or you may have to mess about sending it back if it doesn't meet your requirements .Their advisors are pretty well clued up so speak to them on the phone if you cant visit .

Topic: Barber shop Blues (3 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I actually wrote this song nearly 50 yrs ago when I was in an electric blues rock trio in the UK called Firkles Purple Onion .
Its based on a bad experience I had at a local hairdressers .Back in the day I had hair like Ian Gillan from Deep Purple but I had to have it cut when I took a job in the motor trade ,eventually it grew back and I became the cave man that I still am today .
I dug the song out to do at an event this coming week end as a new hairdressers shop is opening close by and I told her I'd play it for her .
Hope you like it it s an acoustic number called
BARBER SHOP BLUES

Well my head is cold and my ears are red

and when I'd finished he sadly said
G A D
Oh lord I've got the barber shop blues
D7
Oh yeah

Re: Looper Recommendations? (6 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I use an RC 3 all the time live but as Russell says it down to timing ,however I pre record a backing track into it and use it that way .Down side is you can't stretch or shorten a song if you feel like it .It's a good tool if you use it wisely.

Re: memory fades (14 replies, posted in My local band and me)
I'm still a bit croaky Phill sadly it's an on going problem which will probably get worse as I age I have fibrosis and bronchiestesis , no cure but relatively stable unless I get an infection .Sensibly I took my own Mic to yesterday's gig in Haworth and it sounded ok I only had a 40 min slot so no problem.
As for Corbyn he needs to be on the offensive and strike against the buffoon .

Re: memory fades (14 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Nicely produced Phill and to echo every one else's comments it does at first come across a bit floydy but as it progresses takes it own shape ,you have a distinctive voice which compliments the music .Well done .

Topic: Microphone transmitted diseases ? (5 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Struggling with my breathing again looks like I've picked up a chest infection. I must remember to take my own mic to gigs in future ,this happened to me last year and I ended up loosing my voice as well. I think the problem is that some sound guys are not aware of germs living in mic filters ,I used to sanitise mine every time i did a rental gig , it just takes a few minutes . Anyway the steroids and antibiotics I got this morning should sort me out soon .
