I too love the English language and hate it when it is misused or illegitimate-child-ised (you know what I mean?) Although in his cups is a new one on me.

I've read some Christie but never heard of Thomas Lederer! I shall have to look that one up

The more I get to know you the more talents come to the surface; a thespian no less?

It's new years eve and I shall be working tonight but I will be thinking of you and Dondra be good and enjoy.

Also thanks from me and Ann, hope you got my reply which was meant to say Blwyddyn newydd dda; happy new year, but my tablet wouldn't let me say that it kept changing...so blinking annoying.

The article mentions the final tour which was recorded in Cardiff which I've watched several times. Hank mentions that he uses heavy gauge strings for the older tracks eg Apache which is why he changed his guitar so much during the concert. Just thought you might like this bit of trivia. I used to love those old Burns!

A song about mental demons? As always superbly written and laid out. I can't help you at the moment with chords or a melody but I will give it a go later.
Another cracker Jim.

Robert! It's so nice to hear from you again. Thanks for replying and hope you get your speakers soon

Thanks to all and hope you had a merry Christmas

Thanks all and merry Christmas. Jerome, both my new pedals are battery or power supply, it's great though not to have to worry about the battery running out half way through a gig or recording. WARNING! Don't leave your jacks plugged in when not in use.....they run out.

My God that is so touching. The video complements your words which are written so well to a tee! I'd forgotten about that song so it didn't feel like me performing it then I could listen to it as a third party I think all the errors were on the vocals. Well done Jim, a true talent.

Hi there Butch, when I saw your tag I took a second look at the date and saw today's, so welcome back. Some other names you may remember but have got lost somewhere are Daddy Cool,  Old Doll and Southpaw which I haven't seen for a while and a few others. Sorry for your family and hand problems, hope 2017 is a good one for you.

Hi Jim

I love playing bass but my playing is very basic mainly chord root, you know if you're playing a G chord you play G note etc. Bassists like McCartney make a kind of melody around the chord while greats like the late Chris Squire play the whole arm and still be in tune.
Now then....is it easier than six string? You still have to concentrate especially when you're new to a piece, playing intricate riffs and singing takes a lot of practice and doesn't always come off right  you also need to know when it's best to play deep notes or higher more mellow notes. It comes with experience.
I once tried to teach a guy to play 6 string, in the end I suggested bass. He ended up playing bass, 12 string and piano!
With bass rhythm is more important than 6 string  I always equate bass with drums. Once those two are in the groove you're nearly there.

Just had a listen and I'm impressed by your vocal and instrumental talent not to demean your composing talent in any way. Well done my friend.
