good news roger, jim just told me he's coming to the algarve next week. hope you've saved up all your beer tokens?

hi pete, wow man soooooo deep! i'm guessing that you're talking about words that meant one thing say in the 60's now in the naughties? mean or are used to mean something entirely different eg; bad now means good? how many songs and movies use the word "gay" to mean happy now it means - well gay!
it seems every generation has to have their own identity, eg; we had the beatles and the stones, now they have rap, techno and other stuff that makes no sense to me.
so, when you say "the language i lost to changed meanings" which i had no idea what you meant on second or third reading i understood. still working on the wood and axe reference. i'll get there.

nice work it's time we had to work to understand what is after all all around us and happening now.

jan, the easiest F chord shape to play is in the D shape. you will need a capo which you will place on the 3rd frett (G) the problem you'll have then is working out how to play or what shape the other chords are eg; C-G. or Bb! if you'll be playing in the key of C then the shapes will be as if you were playing A-E-D. or in the key of F; D-A-G. capos make life a lot easier.

happy birthday or as we say in wales....penblwydd hapus

ah! you've met my grandchildren?

Hi John

I'm a lefty too and in recent years I've bought proper left hand guitars which you should be able to pick up quite easily, maybe a little more difficult to find an acoustic. So what I did was find a guitar with a fixed bridge, mine was a fender f90 which worked fine. Though changing the nut or top bridge is recommended.

Good luck teaching your wife to play, got to be like teaching her to drive...

WOW, big support for the Taffys...GO WALES!

to be absolutely honest though i'm more rugby than soccer and i'm not big on that, just the internationals. all my kids are good footballers (even the girls)

i've banned football from my TV especially when manchester united and liverpool are playing, 2 against 2 and i'm stuck in the middle! reminds of these words by the late great Gerry Rafferty; "clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right. here i am, stuck in the middle with you"

and a great time was had by all....well done.

i see there was a blue light, was that the cops coming?

thanks guys, i don't know where the reggae thing came from probably from trying to find a counter rhythm. i didn't like the song at first, the story yes,  but not the instrumental bits, having listened to it several times i've decided that i do like it and to be honest i cant think of another way to perform it. any suggestions?

hi guys if i get a few moments i'm hoping to record it in the next few days. thanks for the read through and nice comments. BTW i don't gamble myself, i'm a bad loser so i'd rather not do it in the first place, or it could be i'm too much of a skin flint?

Know the feeling, to be honest I haven't wasted too much time watching Glastonbury but what I have heard did not impress. The only good(?) Part was that they play( mostly) live! It seems that this suicide music is what the kids want. In my set I play mostly up tempo stuff.... OK it's mainly 60s and rock and roll with a little country for good measure but I don't get many suicides lol I'll have to try harder.
