Muppet, If you used to go down to Appledore weekends, then we've probably met as well. I quite like the idea of putting Terry Pearson's bass on top of the signal. I can also think of an another amusing story about the aforesaid instrument.

I was walking along Rochester High St after one Saturday night at the Sweeps Festival when I was accosted by a policeman. "You look like one of the folk people", he said, "I wonder if you could help us". "There's an old gentleman (his description) over here and he's very upset because he's got separated from his wife" He led me over to the corner of a pub car park and there was Terry, in a rather inebriated and agitated state. "Oh David", he said "Thank god you're around - I've lost Myrtle !". The looks that we got from the constables after I explained that Myrtle was not his wife, but his double bass, showed that they thought all of us folkies were quite mad. I got Terry to tell me which pub he'd been in and sure enough, we found the Instrument propped up outside the toilet. "Oh yes" said Terry, "I remember now, I could hardly take Myrtle into the Gents with me !". To this day I don't know whether this remark was based on the possibility of damage to the instrument or it's supposed gender.
