Thanks for sharing Beamer, I wish I had the resources to go out and buy a Tekamine, ( hope I spelt that right?).

Hi UJ, nice bit of jamming and could see where the vocal could fit. But typical me I could also hear drums and bass. Good grooving let us know when it's finished.

This is brilliant, love the humour and the blues riff. It's also so true to life, I always seem to get stuck behind this woman. I always carry my card in my hand and bags in my pocket. Go prepared

Doug's post above reminded me of a Cellar bar I used to play 20 years ago near Carmarthen. The DJ was a bassist in a band and ran a "pirate" radio station with some others just for the benefit of the locals, I wonder if it's still going?

Another point for Doug, we have a station called Magic that Ann likes to have on on a Sunday morning while we're cleaning and cooking the lunch. They play 60's and up to new songs and no rap or techno. (FYO, IT'S ON THE INTERNET) But they do seem to be playing the same tracks every week. Come on guys, there must be thousands of good tracks in the last 60 or so years, no need to stick to the same ones over and over.

nice one jim, give my regards to your daughter and her young man

up to the early 60's this side of the pond all we had was BBC radio which was run by chinless upper class twits who believed that entertainment was the Black and white minstrel show, based on that guy who sang "mammy" cant remember his name! then some enterprising person or two decided it was time to make some money and please the "younger" generation by starting up commercial radio stations. the aforementioned UCtwits reviled this idea and banned them so they took to the oceans, and sailed up and down the UK just outside the 3 mile limit. the UCT's and the government (one and the same) clamped down on them and made them illegal, but they gifted us with radio 1,2,3 and 4. radio 1 being for us teenagers and the rest for "the more discerning listener" yeah right! we were fed all the "pop and bubblegum music" we could cope with. it wasn't till the likes of John Peel and a few others that we were allowed to listen to "the good stuff" Yes, (early) Genesis, Jethro Tull, Supertramp and of course Led Zeppelin.
i still listen to radio 2 on occasion, especially late at night, during the day we still get fed politics, show music and chat shows.
i was watching a programme with Charlot Church (the singer) today, and i enjoyed listening to what she had to say regarding UCT's (the government) and the people that run everything else, charities and good causes. she also had a lot to say about record executives and producers and plonkers like Simon Cowel who take raw talent and put them through their production line so that they come out sounding just like all the other poor saps that were glad just to get their chance and make a bit of cash. FYI it seems quite a few of them have become TV hosts or make appearances on shows like; Big Brother etc, to me those shows are for has beens that want to make a come back. so sad.

well i've had my rant and now i'm going to bed with a clear heart. nos da

OK Bill, you got me. It was Burton's brother who walked in, I should have read the post through before posting. I wont tell you what I'm really saying under my breath...only kidding!

MKM, bring the kids to Wales we've got castles on almost every corner (gross exaggeration)

Here's a true story; some people I know booked Castell Coch (Red Castle) near Cardiff for their wedding. A few weeks before the date they got phoned by the manager and asked if they'd mind changing the date or cancelling all together and were given a shed full of cash as a thank you. They got bumped for Posh and Becks' wedding. I know some folks that would have waived the cash for an invite...not me of course.

Zurf, I nearly choked when I saw your post... your my hero

hey you Kiwis look after yourselves OK? thinking of you.

phill

this is what i was hoping for. are we lucky to be amongst our idols or are we a little dejected that when the finger that points and says "IT'S YOU; YOU WILL BE RICH, FAMOUS AND TALENTED" i missed the whole lot!

general Brit sayings;

not the brightest spark....

a Welsh one...I ti'yn twp?             frenetically; ee teen twp? meaning; are you stupid?

one i'd heard in High Wycombe for the first time; hold the bus.

the tickling gap....the space between the top of her stockings and the hem of her knickers. cos when you reach there....your laughing!

my 2 oldest sons managed to break just about every ornament in the house, so their favourite saying was...it's OK daddy'll fix it. there was a time i had  a glue to fix most things.
