Just to pile it on, you missed a cracking night BWM. Two Uncle George Specials playing together in harmony! Each month gets better and for that matter more crowded. I took a gamble, tuning down that baritone jobby to modal A. The bottom string was threatening to wobble but there again, could have been the beer.

My yay of the moment is knowing another 24 hours have elapsed towards this weekend and spending two weeks skiing. As my back / knees / beer belly / general idleness mean I can't ski every day, I bought a travel guitar and intend to sit by a log fire in the chalet writing songs on some days. (Or in reality, intend to but I know too many people who go to the same bar at lunchtime...)
