thanks for the comments everyone, knowing that bill and dondra like something a little rockier and bluesish made it easier to tailor the song for their taste which is my taste too.

edit to remove idiotic spelling error

hi bill, found it. i'll send you a copy and one for jim.

back in the 70's i was playing with a club/rock band (that'll probably mean something different in the US). our drummer liked a drink or two and on this occasion our bassist was also in "the mood". the gig started well enough, but as we got into the second half the alcohol began to show itself in his drumming! now i love Yes music with it's speeding up and slowing down, but when you're playing an out and out rocker namely "summertime blues" a la the Who, slowing down is the last thing you want. but apparently our drummer was so sozzled that he kept falling asleep and eventually fell off his stool too! we finished the night without him.

another time another band, we were playing the last gig with our drummer (different guy) and his replacement came with us to get a feel for what we did. now this was the 70's and we were all in our 20's and we were an out and out rock band and we were giving it the beans when a young lady that was shall we say scantily dressed was dancing right at the front in full view of the new drummer, arms up in the air, no bra (sorry amy) so, sooner or later we knew what would happen, and it did. we were all watching intently and dare i say speeding up in expectation of the revelation. we were not disappointed! when we asked the new guy later, he had been so intent on watching the old drummer that he hadn't even seen it! but we took him on anyway, but he kept his eyes open after that.

I had an Ecko 12er back in the 70's which I swapped for my first bass, which I bought new, and I'm sure it came heavy, light heavy. Maybe I'm wrong?

have to agree with dino, great story, haven't had the chance to play it through yet but i will and let you know.
i'm glad you trimmed the lines down to fit the rhythm and flow of the song. will it be a country feel or blues? or maybe something else?

looks like the kinda guitar i'd kill for. personally i like the shirt.....not

this saturday i shall be boring the pants off the good people of new quay, cardigan at the afc club

So heart warming, well done Roger.  I think the Mr Nice Guy title 2016 should go to.......

i have a tuner named "qwick tuner" that i find good and has in and out plugs, but i wouldn't advise it for stage work. i prefer to use a pedal (they all seem to come with built in tuners these days) which is a boss ME 50. i have a digitech vocalist 2 which also has a tuner and i use this one on stage. i recently bought a clip on tuner which cost just £5 including postage which i use mainly for my acoustics but also works fine for tuning after string changes on my telecaster and bass guitar.

hi jim, very touching performance and so professional. they sing so well together. but it's also to do with how the song is written and IMHO you are one of the best writers on chordie. very well done, thanks for sharing and keep on doing what you do so well.

it's great to see how proper musicians and writers do it and the process by which they got together to arrange and record their songs. i'd watch stuff like this all day long. big thanks.

GREAT PICS. i used to have a poopyface till the wife kept laughing at me, that was when we were still courting, she doesn't come to gigs anymore so who knows i may still be poopy facing?

just had a giggle at the spellcheck, it allows "poopyface," but not "poopyfacing"....go figure?
