[To infinity and beyond....]

Thanks Randy, Because of the nature of the gig, I was able to use four guitars. The main one for the night was my Tokai Les Paul, also the 555 and two strats. One of the strats was tuned to open G as was the 555, and I used the 555 for playing Brown Suger and the strat in open G for slide on Little Red Rooster. I used my Fender Hot Rod DeVille, only needed to set it low as it is quite a loud amp.

 

Go for it with the Blog, I will be the first to sign up for it, I would love to know how others are doing things, and thank you for your kind words.

Thank you very much Randy, go for it, I will read it with great interest.

[The tale of the eight and a half hour practice...]

I am so pleased you are enjoying my blog, when I started writing it it was for my own pleasure and if any one read it that would be a bonus for me. the church has been very generous to us and we have saved a small fortune in fees we would have otherwise had to pay for hiring rehearsal facilities, so the least we can do is give something back to them by way of a show.

[Plan A, what's plan B?]

Will definitely check out the Humble pie song, and thanks for the suggestion and good wishes for our gig, it will be told about in detail here!

[Making progress]

Randy, sincere thanks for the kind words, a new entry in my blog coming in the next few days.

[getting back on track.]

Many thanks for the kind words, all appreciated. We like the idea of a stable band that works in a particular way for us, but I know one or two guys in your situation who are excellent players, doing exactly what you do and that works very well for them.

Trevor looked a bit different in the seventies on tv...

Interesting to read your blog, good to know about your son turning one and I am very interested to know about winding your own pick ups.

Best,

Mark.

Nice blog Pete, good to read about stuff I can relate to here in England. As you know, Maggie Ronson, Mick's sister was a friend of mine, I also knew Mick's brother and their mum, Minnie Ronson. When I was at the Ronson's house in East Hull, I saw a framed picture of Mick his mum had on the sideboard of him playing the telecaster.
