Al, it's in Pateley Bridge if you know it. It's a bit of a jaunt but I'm looking forward to it. I was going a few years ago but then fell off my bike and broke the thumb and index finger on one hand and the thumb on the other! After that didn't touch the much guitar for about 3 years, and the digits still aint right.

No need to feel nervous around me, it's a case of "all the gear and no idea" I'm afraid.

Paul.

ps Sorry for the fred drift.

"Right Richard are we having a Nags session on the Sunday 18th April 2010 because I have a day off that day and I have heard rumor"

Shame I won't be able to make that date if it happens as I'm going to a weekend workshop in sunny Yorkshire with Stefan Grossman. I must say I am looking forward to it though.

Pierre, the headstock of a guitar is holy ground and should only carry the tuners, makers name, nut, dust and the odd fag burn from that Keith Richards moment. It's not to be cluttered with electronic tuners and capo's etc, it's against the law!! Although if you're at a session and happen to find a pick then it's quite acceptable to jam that between the strings at the headstock in the hope that the rightful owner will come forward and claim the pick. But that's another story...

Swing from chandeliers,?
Yeah thats right?
bring the bloody ceiling down?

Right Richard are we having a Nags session on the Sunday 18th April 2010 because I have a day off that day and I have heard rumor

I have also brought yet another Clip on tuner?
My 12 string stays in tune very well indeed despite old folk Legends that say 12 strings do not stay in tune and one is forever tuning them Nonsense.
but it wont stay in tune until Sweeps I fear.

This next tuner I will secure it to the headstock like a friend of mine has done and that will be the end of losing tuners.
When Richard reunites me with the one I left at his place I will do the same with that on the 6 string. I do not see why one has to keep taking clip on tuners
Off and on anyway might has well leave them where they are securely.
I think its a excellent Idea.

Morningwood, I will arrive back in UK on 15th and take a few days to adjust to the 4 hrs time difference. Will contact you as you suggest. You will enjoy Deal, they are a friendly lot.
Take your guitar and leave it in the car, that's what I did first time, then go sneak down and get it when you feel the urge.

The plural of plectrum in English is plectrums when talking about guitar picks but plectra when talking about the mechanism of a harpsichord! Tortiseshell doesn't come from a tortoise, but a giant turtle and it's now banned in the UK unless made before the date when it was banned, whenever that was. Anyway whoever found my plectrum can keep it. I've been offered a job as drummer with a band called "Stone Dead Leopard" who are a tribute band for TDL and we do parodies of TDL songs! Only problem is I've lost one of my drumsticks ...

Tam, sorry didn't really have a chance to say hello proper, but yes that was me. Not so sure about the "wicked blues playing" as it all went a bit awry but thanks for the kind words as it gives me the confidence to have another go when I can get my sh!t together a bit more.

Funny, I just posted a post and it ahs vanished.

I have a slightly incomplete Arion tuner (missing part of the clip that clips onto the headstock - Pete is it yours? It was on the dining room floor.

I also have a funny little thing made of clear plastic roughly barrell-shaped, under an inch long and about a quarter to 3/8ths of an inch across with what looks like the tip of a pink crayon in it. It was on the drawing room floor in front of teh HiFi cabinet next to the coffee table.

Weren't there a lot of mistakes!! Most weird.. After general bumblings and fumblings however, the afternoon concluded with a proper rousing bunch of songs!

Cheers to Richard for hosting another season of Winter Sings at the Nag's with the excellent acoustics, and for genial hostage plus optionally spiced refueling pottages at his home. It beats singing all alone and beerless at the top of my stairs anyway, though the acoustics at the top of my stairs are fairly good.
Cheers to Don, for my request of 'The Old Miner'. And to Tam for working up a version of 'See Lyin' Woman' too - I may have to steal your lyrics.

My calendar tells me (despite empirical evidence to the contrary) that yesterday was the Spring Equinox, so on with Summer (I think).

Based on many of the performances yesterday (started by me) I would say the end of an error!

Actually, it was great, lots of laughs and feels liberating to know the seasoned performers can make the occasional cock up and deal with it gracefully.

Was that young fellow with the Martin that started with wicked blues playing, Morningwood?

Welcome! Hope you can make it to the Good Intent for the Sweeps.

Thanks to the Pete the Landlord and to Mary behind the bar for how welcome you made us.

Pete- I am so pleased with how much your playing and performing has improved. See you at the Sweeps. Could you pm me with the name and charge of the place you stay during Sweeps. I am searching for a friend.

The musicians whom ? fell rolled and tumbled there way through there verse and music in the early stages but everyone settled and it was a good event.

The bar staff were great and the regular locals showed interest with frequent applause.
I think we played and sang ourselves out of The Nags this evening handing it back for the evening to the regulars.

Enough is good has a feast in regards the event.

"I dont know if I am coming ...............or going?"

Reminds of the scene in "Diary of a Nobody" where Mr. Pooter reflects on his two best friends, Mr. Cummings and Mr. Gowing, and can't quite work out why Mr. Cummings also seems to be going and Mr. Gowing always seems to be coming!
