    For the 1st time in years

    And I mean years (well over 15) I have an urge to dust down the old acoustic guitar and spend a bit of time with it...

    I seem to have been getting more tuneful lately and someone popped they're head around the door yesterday saying that they thought someone had the radio on and that I had 'a lovely voice'...

    not sure what's going on...

        Had that about summer last year, ended up renovating all my old dusty guitars from storage, wandering round various music shops to find some strings I could recognise. Eventually bought myself a lovely Gibson Robot for Xmas. Which is nice.

        Still writing the music for the fruit machines on the keyboard and Finale, but have been toying with attaching a Roland pickup and piping into Sibelius to see how the result compares.

          I was thinking of resuming my classical guitar playing.

          One big plus about classical guitar is that you're not usually expected to sing!
          It's Deja-vu all over again!

            I've been trying to learn the guitar for a while now. I got an acoustic Fender a while ago and love the sound of it but in all honesty I'm bolluxs at playing. What I especially like about it is I can plug this guitar into my amp and then turn it up (to 11) and so everybody on our street can hear just how rubbish and arrhythmic I really am. Which is nice.
            Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

            I preferred version 1!

                Welcome to the club

                If you're anywhere near Zürich welcome to the band . I have Bass and two Electric guitars to hand out, acoustic steel guitar also welcome.

                If I can get a drummer interested I may splashout on a small PA, in fact in the last gig because we only had one microphone and two of us were singing we didn't bother with a PA and it sounded great.
                I'm alright Jack
