That's a nice  song  Joe  I  expected  the  dolly parton  song  when I  opened  the  link   but  got  a pleasant  surprise .

Dino  originaly  I  came   from Blackburn in  the  uk  then we   moved  to  a  more   rural  location near  Lancaster  but  we now  live in Crete for a lot  of  the  year ,At  the  moment  we  are  back in the  UK, having  spent  the last month in London with  my  son Ive  observed  some things  that  made  me realise  why  I  chose  the  life  I  have  now .

Thanks for  the feed back  guys its  appreciated

It was  entirely Trevs  fault  he  used to  ride  like  a  lunatic  .He  wasn't  wired up  right I  remember  one  time  he  stripped  a bike  down in his mothers living room , granted  he  covered  the  carpet  with plastic  but  he  then  drained  the  oil out which ran over  the  edges .We all  had  a good  laugh at his  Dad  dragging  the  bike out  of  the door and  Trev trying to drag it  back in. Honestly you  couldn't  invent  a  story  like  this even if  you  wanted  to .

Cant  say  really  but  at  the  time we  always thought   Lennon couldn't count  . lol I  would  think that by now  there  all  filled  but I'll be  up  there  in a couple  of  weeks  so I'll  try  and  do  a  quick audit smile

The  new  skills  thing  is very important .I  always  bring  something new  to  rehearsals ,not  as  a  suggestion  to  include it  in future  sets  but  to  improve and  diversify  from things  we  have  been   used  to. 
Some time  ago  I  suggested  we play  Donna Summers  hot stuff which  every  body   except  our  girl singer   seemed  horrified  by . How ever every body  loved it  once  they  played  it ,the  lead  riff  having such an effect on our  Conga  player( who  is  also   a  good guitarist ) as  he  asked if  he  could take  the  lead  on guitar for this  song .

On Phill Williams posts  he  has  a  reference  to the  holes in Blackburn

I actually  come from Blackburn and  I  do  have  a  funny and  totally  true  story about a  hole .

Back  in the  late  60s  a  friend  of  mine  had a  Norton Dominator motorcycle .One day   not  looking  where  he  was  going  he  rode it  into  a  large hole  in the  ground .Looking  up  from the  hole  at the  bewildered  council worker who  had  been leaning on his  shovel as the  accident  happened  he  said "Give me  a  hand  to  get  it  out  mate" .The  council worker  replied ."You were clever enough to get  the  bugger  in there your self  ,lets  see  if  your  clever  enough  to  get  it  out ."

This  is an argument  which some  of  my  colleague's feel quite  strong about .Our  last  bass player really  felt  that we  should  mimic the  original songs  where as  the  rest  of  us  felt  we should put  out  own stamp  on the  track ,As probably  60% of  the  current  set  is  covers My  personal take  is  that  it  should  sound  like us  and not  the  original  artist .
However if  you  play  as  a  tribute  artist  then yes try and  be  as close to  the  original as you can ,no one  wants  an Elvis  impersonator who  sound like Dolly Parton .
