    Moncur, Friday is a 9.30 start and Sunday from 4 onwards as long as I can still stand.

    Pepsi, Christmas eve in the Newmarket. Afternoon until whatever. Sutherland and Son are in the Grove on Mad Friday. I guess I have always been a bit masochistic. Back Bridge Street Club on the 23rd December for a free dance.
    So you have no excuse Pepsi. See you.

    Thats the best way to be. Duress consists of only Ben and Dave. Me and bones just turn up with guitars and amps in the hope of being mistaken for band members.

    Why on earth would you want to be mistaken as associating with ben?

    Yes, G2, I think that you can consider your thread hijacked.

    Remember playing with Rod Stewart in the Town hall? I asked him if he recalled the gig and he replied" Oh yes, twenty people and fifteen pissed". It is hard to take in that that was 43 years ago.
    The Garrison playlist!!!! What a squirrel you must be. I can recall a few of the songs but not many. Reveal all, I don't care.
    Of course I'm still playing. What else is there to do at my age!!!!and yours.

    Sadly Julie (from Philly) won't be making the trip north, Chobbers. She was over here (again) recently, but due to being up to my oxters in work, we couldn't make it up north. She did wish to come back and visit the Head, however. One day...

    Been listening the feets off of Little Feat recently. From Gringo to Texas Twister, from Strawberry Flats to George's Find A River, seems I can't get enough of Barerre and co.

    Have since bought a new guitar - finally! (a Mexican black and white tele) - and a new amplifier - finally! (Fender Twin) - so if you have a tune in mind I could sit-in on, it'd be much obliged. I'll have the new axe up with me, and, yes, ready to grind out any country-funk number you have in mind. Cissy Strut (Meters)? The Girl I Love With The Long Black Wavy Hair? (Led Zep)? Right Place Wrong Time (Dr John)? Just thought I'd demonstrate my audacity.

    Can't wait to see the J. Fats band back in action. Last time I saw the full outfit in full flow was in the Coral Lounge, Hendrix's Stone Free being stripped down and fattened back up, so to speak. Maybe I can fix a live review for yez? I'll try and arrange it...

    I never even played on Stonefree!!!! I reckon a sit-in would be on the cards.
    Seems like a long time ago that we played in the Coral. Different band in many respects. Like the changes though.
    Don't forget folks, all paths lead to the Blackstairs tomorrow and the Newmarket on Sunday.
