When I was still performing I had 2 mics; a Beyer Dynamic which I used and a Sure PG48 for any Jack'n'ape that fancied they could sing or to make announcements. The last thing you'd want is for some Karaoke champ holding it out at arms length and dropping it on the floor! Sounds like the Temu mic is ideal for that?     

Wow Joe, the description you give is horrifying for someone like me who has never had to face the horrors of war. We have all seen Hollywood films that glorify killing while the killers or those left behind don't seem to have a care, it's only the heroes that are mourned. It's the kids that watch these with impunity that might be tempted to violence never imagining the nightmares that follow as you have described them " a gun in one hand and a phone in the other" scary. A fine piece of songwriting, I couldn't listen to it as SoundCloud was down.     

This one came through nice and clear as did your other post. I always find that bad weather affects the infernal net. Keep in touch.     

Aw Grah, I didn't realise you were so soppy...NO seriously I hope your wife gets back to health quickly and I must say it's nice to know that someone else feels the same way about their other half as I do about mine. And I love the song and sentiments, please wish her my best.     

It's so good to hear from you Bill, I wish more of the people that used to frequent our little community would pop in occasionally. I'm so sorry to hear about your wife I know you were very close and to be honest I don't know how I would cope without my other half. I'm also so sorry to hear about your own personal difficulties and ailments, I've suffered with panic attacks and they're no joke. I hope they managed to sort out your prostrate problems?
Please don't be a stranger, I for one miss your witty repartee and your somewhat oblique outlook on life.

Most disastrous gig? Hard to pick just one. The one I wish I'd never bothered to go to was in Swansea at a catholic club. I had to play with their organ and drummer who were iffy at best. I made a joke which the priest didn't like, it was clean, but got paid off anyway. I have a few choice words which I cant repeat on here.

Another was when I played a gig at a caravan holiday park in mid Wales, they booked me back without going through the agent. When I got there they denied all knowledge and refused to even give me petrol money after travelling for 2 hours!     

Thank you Brian for making me laugh first thing in the morning. Last two lines tickled me, though I recognise the rest of your work too as I swapped one load of disrupters for another over the years, what can you do? Stuck between a rock and a hard place, the devil and the deep blue sea.     

I've seen a few of these narrow boat sessions and I think they're a brilliant idea. These guys are great, loved the harmonies and the musicianship.     

I recently saw another video on youtube of the same people playing "Bohemian Rhapsody", same guy on the piano in a city square somewhere(?) with a drummer, choir and a very young guitarist playing the Brian May solo. These guys are brilliant.     

Brilliant Graham funny and giving a good account of an actual event? You sound a bit like Johnny Cash so it suited the song perfectly. Thanks for sharing.     

yeah Ozzy was a legend. Paranoid was one of the songs on my group's first gig. Forgot the last verse so we just played the riff for 5 minutes.
