KajiMa - interesting thread, you seem to have struck a Chord(ie)! Certainly wish I could sing better, am always up for helpful advice (and have had some previously on Chordie). Agreed, the Chordians are a great bunch of people.
Just by the way, is that Priddy, Somerset, or Texas?

Will have a look at that, kind Sir. On a visit to Kansas a few years ago, I was very kindly given a book called "Sex, Death and Fly-fishing" by John Gierach - very good stuff, too. I think he's probably well known in the USA, but I hadn't heard of him before.

It's true, cricket is a weird sport, but I love it. I'm not knocking baseball at all, I think I would enjoy seeing it live, or a highlights package, if such a thing were available in the UK.

Southpaw, that is certainly a cautionary tale. I just have British teeth, naturally screwed up for nothing!

Have just found this thread, very interesting too...
Maybe it's just my warped sense of humour, but can't help smiling at the thought of Detman "surprising his wife with a clarinet"! Would like to see that on Youtube!
No offence!!

Have been watching Spectacle for a couple of months now & I agree, it's an excellent show. I'd watch anything with Elvis C in it, though! Only problem is that for some reason it's hidden away late at night & quite easy to miss as a result. An intelligent show about music should be more primetime IMHO.
Have not heard of Austin City Limits at all. Anyone heard of Later with Jools Holland (BBC2)? Usually pretty good, but totally live, so performances do vary a bit! I can also very much recommend Radcliffe & Maconie on BBC Radio 2 - great range of music/very knowledgeable/very funny! Should be available worldwide, thanks to the old interweb. It helps if you get the British sense of humour!
Anyhoo, just love Elvis & his songs - I have a stab at playing  a few of them (Red Shoes, Candy, Alison, God's Comic, Working Week, Everyday I Write The Book).
Love the little guitarist RavenLady, is that you? Used to have friends in Calgary, but seem to have lost touch - would be there like a shot, otherwise!
Cheers again,
Paul.

Thanks for all the great replies, guys (and doll!) - am seriously envious of all of you! But especially Zurf!! My dream locations would be New Zealand, Canada or Cuba (for bonefish on the fly).
As Old Doll will no doubt confirm, fly fishing is a great sport for the fairer sex as well. As I said before, I am happy to give some tuition or help to anyone in the local area or passing through.
Tight lines & strings!

How about - "Another one bites the dust"? Also works for funerals (it's what I want, anyway)!

Thanks for the suggestions, all. Singing loud as poss when practising is a good idea - just have to wait until I'm alone in the house!
Cheers!

Whoops! Having plugged this, I'm not sure if I can make it (childcare probs) but please turn up & ask for Ian or Malc.
Cheers.
