| Message: | When they were playing in my hamburg clubs around 1960 I got to hear of paul mc artrey using the pliers for taking out strings off the stand up piano. And putting them on his bass. My wages were competitive and there was no need for this practice. All for a set of strings. |

| Message: | Nashville tuning is just the same as regular tuning, except you replace the G,D,A and bottom E string, with top E,B,G and D strings and tune them an octave higher. This is the same as the jangly strings on a twelve string, and gives the same effect when playing with a regular tuned guitar. Mainly used for recording. |

| Message: | Have you tried Nashville tuning? Its a bold move to make and said Nashville tuning has the added attraction of rarely being used in folk clubs. For obvious reasons which I won't go into here. |

| Message: | I not proud of myself. But allow me to admit here what I did last nite. I went to a folk club. There I said it. The two guest singers were good at what they did but I can hardly remember one single somg they sang. One song may have been about Lancashire. Something like "Lancashire Lancashire they should stick us back in lancashire 'cos there's lanky spoken here tha knows lad." I tried to talk to a couple of folkies there and asked if they ever listened to other music....my god. |

| Message: | Dear Lee. Without seeing it myself I couldn't say. It could be the thread on the nut, which quite often is made of brass and strips easily. If this is the case, just get a new nut! If it's the rod itself, then you have problems, you will need a luthier to sort it. It could also be the base of the rod which has slip out of place, when you tighten it, it slides up the neck as it's not connected to anything. Rickenbaker basses were famous for that, I had to have loads of new rods made to my design cause the Rick ones where crap! |

| Message: | Yes Tony thats exactly why!! I was the Public Relations Officer for British Actors Equity many years ago and we set standards for pay and conditions in venues. The problem was that someone would always do it cheaper to get the gig and spoil it for all the other professionals. The nature of the business is that people will do the gigs for nothing just for the kudos!! You get what you pay for, or in this case, what you don't pay for!! |

| Message: | Heavy twangy bottoms. Guitar strings with heavy twangy bottoms and light slinky tops include the 9-46 series. Fit them to your guitar and benefit from the best of both worlds. D'Addario are a good bet. Or Rotosound. Because hybrid doesn't have to compromise. |

| Message: | Badminton is a sport that is played indoors. Ideal for any pub. Bring a racket, smaller and cheaper than a guitar. A net can be slung across a suitable awning. Awning. They won't be bored in the pub and four people can be playing at once. Music has had its day. Play badminton. It won't be a pointless exercise. |

Funny thing loyalty, you give it to people thinking it's the right thing to do, then they turn round and drop one on you from a great height!! Still, apparently the all the other pubs in the area are up for sale, so even if I moved, it would still be the same situation!! Hope to see you all sometime in the future. Take care care everyone. |

| Message: | Hi Mark. Would just like to say thanks for all your hard work over the past 5 years keeping the jam night going, and for the ? years before that at the Vic and the coffee house! I know that I left long before it was sacked off the other week but there were many reasons for that - I must say I always felt some guilt though cos you are a thouroughly great broke ( a such a talented bastard!). All the best to you and your family Mark, and I hope to see you soon. Keith Davo |

| Message: | Thanks for the kind words housewife bob. I did contact Aileen at the County Court and asked her but she never got back to me. I don't know of anywhere else in the Village that would want me, except the Coffee house, and everybody I've spoken to about said they wouldn't go there either so I'm at a blank. If you know of anywhere, I will gladly do it as I miss all my old friends from the village, and it would be nice to know that you would all come back and support a new good venue. I do miss playing around the area. Take care Housewife Bob, hope to see you soon. Strider. |

| Message: | Hi Mark - I know that you were disappointed that numbers hit rock bottom and some of us appeared to be deserting a sinking ship but the Village became quite vile as a punter towards the latter part of its term and it was not a pleasant experience. I would be sad if you were not to explore all possibilities in Woolton as I miss the Monday night Jam. No, I can't always make it due to work, but if you were on somewhere else I would, and I know I could speak for others, make max effort to support you. Do you want us to have a sniff around elsewhere for a Monday night venue or have you had enough of Woolton? If you have had enough then I will personally make the effort and come and see you somewhere else. Hope to see you playing soon somewhere in Woolton. If not, then elsewhere or maybe sooner for a session at Tonewood! Regards Bob Ps Also a personal thx for all the hard work and great Monday nights in the past |

Sounds a bit mad, but if you where told you couldn't go to North wales because you drove certain type of car, or you were the wrong ethnic minority, then it would be classed as victimization and discrimination. And yet the chief Constable of North Wales wants to ban motorcyclists from riding in NW, is this not discrimination?? |

On Monday 1 June, he did not turn up for work. Bristol Zoo management phoned Bristol City Council to ask them to send a replacement parking attendant. The Council said "That car park is your responsibility." The Zoo said "The attendant was employed by the City Council... wasn't he?" The Council said "What attendant?"

| Message: | I thought it would be fun to start a thread that has nothing to do with the name change or Taylor Guitars Corporation :) So, I will post some photos soon, but I wanted to give you my assessment of how these four brands of guitars compare in my opinion. I own a couple of Taylors, two Martins, one Goodall, and one Olson so i speak from a little experience. Consider this my contribution to "Guitar Public Service Announcement 101" :D Taylors - without a doubt, in my humble opinion, one of the finest acoustic guitars money can buy. I've tried and bought a few. Great sounding guitar, and what appealed to me initially (and still does) is the amazing woodworking and wood selection - to me, most of the Taylors are more than instruments - they are pieces of art. Moderate price (note i am NOT talking prices here), good value for the buck, I think. Creative design ideas, and at the forefront of changing guitar designs (e.g. NT neck, ES electronics). Martins - the ol' standby. Some I like; some are just ok, I think. Admitedly, I haven't played very many of them. I own a J40 (first Martin I ever bought) which I like. After buying that, I went to a shop to look at others, picked up a Taylor, played it, and well... the rest is history. Since then, I recently bought a Martin Graham Nash sig model which I like very much. Again, many of the Martins have great woods, the classic Martin look and sound and are wonderful instruments. I haven't found them to resonate as well as some of the Taylors, but that could just be my dumb luck. Great guitars. Goodall - ah. I bought a Goodall last year. Sight unseen (except for a photo on the web), based upon rave reviews by people I trust (and he knows who he is :) ). I love my Goodall. Goodall doesn't seem to use much, if any plastic in binding or purfing. All woods as far I've seen thus far; but again, i've only played 4 of them (3 in a store, and the 1 i bought). But I love the guitar. I'm headed to Hawaii soon and plan to visit the Goodall factory. Assuming that all happens, I'll take some pictures and post them for your viewing pleasure and entertainment. I love the sound of the guitar, and I love the feel. More expensive than Taylors, primarily because they don't get discounted the way Martins or Taylors seem to. Olson. Holy cow. First, this is w/o a doubt, my favorite guitar. Expensive. Period. Absolutely stunning workmanship, woodworking, woods, and sound. I love this guitar. Expensive. Have I said that already? Is it better than a Taylor or Martin or Goodall? Honestly, I have a hard time looking at my guitars and ranking them as to best looking or best sounding. They all look nice. They all sound great. I'm just particularly attached to this Olson though. Small shop aka one guy - Jim Olson. Nice case too. I'll post pictures soon. Anyway, my main goal in this thread was to start a thread on guitars - a variety of brands. I've excluded a number of brands, primarily because I don't own other brands of acoustic guitars except for a Guild, which, in my case, does not compare to any of the others....that isn't not a knock or judgement on Guild or its guitars - it's a comment about the one I own. Hopefully this thread will spur some conversation. I'd like to hear others' comments about brands - what have they found that they've liked about their guitars - whether they be Taylor, Guild, etc or Tacoma or Breedlove, etc? I've looked at Breedlove for a long time, also Collings - nice guitars. I don't own those. What do you folks think? |

| Message: | I love playing guitar solo's on the Les Paul as it seems to respond to my every touch. But in saying that, I do love playing rhythm on the Strat as it has a very distinct sound and makes me play in a different way. Either way, the Les Paul is a far better made and designed guitar than the Strat, and requires a lot more skill to build. Gibson have been around building guitars from the early 1800's, they are experts and it shows. As Fender was an electronics expert and his guitars were built without any prior knowlage to the craft. That's why basically if you think about it, Fender guitar are just a nicely shaped coffee table with a neck bolted on. I'm not being unfair to Fender as even though his guitars are basic, they still have a very high build quality for what they are, and that has made them very ditinctive and unique. More people associate the shape of a Strat with the diffinitive electric guitar than any other guitar ever made. Either way, I have been using my Strat a lot lately and I'm loving it!! |

| Message: | Strat v Les Paul In the war of rock and roll guitar, the battle has always been between a Fender Stratocaster and a Gibson Les Paul. There are other guitars to be sure, but the primary weapons for guitar soldiers since the fifities have been the aforementioned. Sure, you got your Telecasters and SG’s, both fine guitars. You got your Rickenbackers and Danelectros. You got your myriad Strat copies in all their permutations, your semi- hollowbody ES-335’s and their ilk. But except for the Tele’s, SG’s and 335’s, which are true "players" guitars, the others are more for looks than they are for playing. And there’s nary a decent tone to be wrung from them! I’m sure a lot of you are thinking, "How can he just dismiss all these other guitars?" And "What’s so special about Strats and Les Pauls?" So let me explain my position and answer these two valid questions. Basically, I can dismiss all these other guitars because all the great guitar players (with a few notable exceptions) have already done so. I’m just taking their lead. My opinion on Rickenbackers and Danelectros is that they have a distinctive look and style that is great for achieving a certain aesthetic on stage, but the sounds they produce are mediocre at best. They are also not sturdy, tough pieces of equipment. Rickenbackers, in particular, are very brittle and do not hold up well. Danelectros are pressboard. ‘Nuff said! There are, however, other guitars that are great pieces of equipment and sound fantastic. Telecasters and SG’s , for example, are also two of the great electric guitars. There are good reasons why these two stalwarts are not as prevalent as Strats and ‘Pauls’, though. The Tele is a classic rhythm instrument, as evidenced by the guys who have made it their main axe: Keith Richards, Steve Cropper and Bruce Springsteen. It has also been worked to perfection by Roy Buchannon, Danny Gatton and blues great Albert Collins -- the "Master of Telecaster" -- , so it can be a good lead guitar, as well. But, tonally, it has a very narrow range. It’s the same with the Gibson SG. Duane Allman sure made that sucker sing with a slide. But it’s not nearly as versatile as a Les Paul. These guitars always sound the same and therefore do not have the "range" of tonal qualities that Strats and ‘Pauls’ have. This is the greatest thing that a Strat or a ‘Paul’ have going for them, a "range" of tonality so that they fit a wide variety of musical applications. They are both strong and sturdy, they are both great feeling and playing guitars. But it is their tonal versatility that makes them special. So, are they the same? Of course not! Why would you choose one over the other? Let me tell you. Let’s take a look at the Strat now shall we? Let’s see, who’s played a Strat that we know about (Lots of pretend head scratching). Let’s see, um….oh yeah, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jerry Garcia, Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray Vaughan and so on. Many of the best guitarists of all time! And they not only don’t sound the same compared to each other, they somehow managed to coax a wide variety of tones from their axe. A Strat sounds like a Strat, yes. But, a Strat sound has a lot of options. It’s typically not a real fat tone, more stinging and biting. But as Clapton demonstrates, it can be fat and chunky, too. It can produce a smooth jazzy sound a la Jeff Beck and also has that signature "out of phase" sound that people like Robert Cray use very well. Now, what about the Les Paul? Only people such as Jimmy Page, Neil Young, Peter Frampton, Gary Moore, Dickie Betts….you get the picture. It has the ultimate fat tone, hands down. It’s a great guitar for blues, jazz or heavy rock and can also sound very sweet and chirpy. Frampton really brought out the clear, bell like tonalities it can produce. But no one better showcased the Les Paul in all its tonal glory than Jimmy Page (and I think the old man Les himself, would agree with me on this!). Page displayed the ‘heaviness and fatness’ this guitar is famous for. He created some of rock guitars’ greatest chunky rhythms as well as incredible, soaring leads. With effects or without, it is unmistakably a Les Paul. It’s a very big sound. So, put down that no-name brand! Stop looking for something obscure or "cutesy" to get that great tone. Instead, go for what everyone already knows will sound great, and make it your own. |

| Message: | Nelson: "Order the signal, Hardy." Hardy: "Aye, aye sir." Nelson: "Hold on, this isn't what I dictated to Flags. What's the meaning of this?" Hardy: "Sorry sir?" Nelson (reading aloud): " England expects every person to do his or her duty, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious persuasion or disability.' - What gobbledegook is this for God's sake?" Hardy: "Admiralty policy, I'm afraid, sir. We're an equal opportunities employer now. We had the devil's own job getting 'England ' past the censors, lest it be considered racist." Nelson: "Gadzooks, Hardy. Hand me my pipe and tobacco." Hardy: "Sorry sir. All naval vessels have now been designated smoke-free working environments." Nelson: "In that case, break open the rum ration.. Let us splice the mainbrace to steel the men before battle." Hardy: "The rum ration has been abolished, Admiral. Its part of the Government's policy on binge drinking." Nelson: "Good heavens, Hardy. I suppose we'd better get on with it ........... full speed ahead." Hardy: "I think you'll find that there's a 4 knot speed limit in this stretch of water." Nelson: "Damn it man! We are on the eve of the greatest sea battle in history. We must advance with all dispatch. Report from the crow's nest please." Hardy: "That won't be possible, sir." Nelson: "What?" Hardy: "Health and Safety have closed the crow's nest, sir. No harness; and they said that rope ladders don't meet regulations. They won't let anyone up there until a proper scaffolding can be erected." Nelson: "Then get me the ship's carpenter without delay, Hardy." Hardy: "He's busy knocking up a wheelchair access to the foredeck Admiral." Nelson: "Wheelchair access? I've never heard anything so absurd." Hardy: "Health and safety again, sir. We have to provide a barrier-free environment for the differently abled." Nelson: "Differently abled? I've only one arm and one eye and I refuse even to hear mention of the word. I didn't rise to the rank of admiral by playing the disability card." Hardy: "Actually, sir, you did. The Royal Navy is under represented in the areas of visual impairment and limb deficiency." Nelson: "Whatever next? Give me full sail. The salt spray beckons." Hardy: "A couple of problems there too, sir. Health and safety won't let the crew up the rigging without hard hats. And they don't want anyone breathing in too much salt - haven't you seen the adverts?" Nelson: "I've never heard such infamy. Break out the cannon and tell the men to stand by to engage the enemy." Hardy: "The men are a bit worried about shooting at anyone, Admiral." Nelson: "What? This is mutiny!" Hardy: "It's not that, sir. It's just that they're afraid of being charged with murder if they actually kill anyone. There's a couple of legal-aid lawyers on board, watching everyone like hawks." Nelson: "Then how are we to sink the Frenchies and the Spanish?" Hardy: "Actually, sir, we're not." Nelson: "We're not?" Hardy: "No, sir. The French and the Spanish are our European partners now. According to the Common Fisheries Policy, we shouldn't even be in this stretch of water. We could get hit with a claim for compensation." Nelson: "But you must hate a Frenchman as you hate the devil." Hardy: "I wouldn't let the ship's diversity co-ordinator hear you saying that sir. You'll be up on disciplinary report." Nelson: "You must consider every man an enemy, who speaks ill of your King." Hardy: "Not any more, sir. We must be inclusive in this multicultural age. Now put on your Kevlar vest; it's the rules. It could save your life" Nelson: "Don't tell me - health and safety. Whatever happened to rum, sodomy and the lash?" Hardy: As I explained, sir, rum is off the menu! And there's a ban on corporal punishment." Nelson: "What about sodomy?" Hardy: "I believe that is now legal, sir." Nelson: "In that case................................ kiss me, Hardy. |
