Aiming to come and see what's happening at Whimple on Sunday. A bunch of saxophone players seems to be coming too. Looking forward to a great evening.
Will the Whombles be there?

Stuff of Nightmares
Ouch. For the first time in 42 years I've done some serious damage to a guitar - my unique Alvin Davies resonator: http://www.jongarvey.co.uk/images/pacific.jpg I was doing some recording with it last Tuesday, stooped to switch on the recorder, and the strap became detached. It only fell a couple of...

Re: Acoustic Amp
Hi
I've had the older AS80R for many years and it's done great service.

Great Scott, wot a memory! I remembered my hero playing the thing publicly several times - you remembered from one brief trip to pick up the doubleneck. Rispeck. Though there is a piccy on my website, I suppose... But yes, I'm very impressed with Jap Epiphone quality. I inherited a similar 6 string ...

Gordon's 12-string
Gordon, I was reminiscing yesterday and thought of the 12-string you had back in the early 70s, with some black chequered inlay on the face. It may have been a John Bailey but I'm not sure. I remember offering to buy it from you at a gig at Surrey Uni in March '73, though actually I didn't have any ...

I was due to play and sing at our church carol service this evening, but a after a trial run in the Mini it took me five goes before I (barely) made it back up the hill to our isolated house. Clearly a no-no in the dark with the family aboard. Nevertheless, decided the show must go on, and resolved ...

You and I know that using a capo is NOT a cheat when used in a CREATIVE way. I used Jim Dunlops for decades until a singer-songwriter friend said I was hopelessly old-fashioned and gave me a sHubb for Christmas. I now play a lot of sax, and was conversing with an old pro a week or two ago, who was ...

The worst of it was I had the thing re-fretted. You'd have thought the tech would have said something to me before he charged me double, wouldn't you? I just put it down to experience in the end. At least I never had it nicked, unlike Gary Davis who, being blind, was always having his J200s purloine...
