Thread Name: England's National Musical-Instrument?
Subject: RE: England's National Musical-Instrument?
I knew Greg when he was doing a PhD at Lancaster University - back in the 60s - and we had several blues'n guitars sessions together. Eventually I started to dodge playing with him - and eventually he cornered me and asked why I was fobbing him off. I had to admit to him that his musical knowledge was so all-embracing and so expert that I didn't feel up to his skill. (I HAD only been playing about 3 or 4 years...). I'd do better now, I hope, but back then? - nah!

Mind you, I did take the piss out of the first beard he was growing... Apologies, Greg, if you catch this.

Oh - and he is indeed "Greg Stephens".
