Well, tonight is Jim's European premiere in the modest setting of the Folk Cafe´in Köln. I am looking forward to it. I hope Jim has been drinking tea, practising scales and reading improving literature to prepare himself for it. (I am not holding my breath though).
For myself, I will do the best I can with a finger the size of a thumb, a dodgy voice and an unpractised set. I haven't been able to touch a guitar since Monday, because I have been grappling with a two thousand line translation of a marketing survey, in between my other commitments. It is not how I usually prepare!
You will have to play a blinder Jim, we are counting on you!
