For BM  noooo: - the guitar is lying abandoned in his office replaced by parts of mini all over the house.

They are laid out like a surgeon's toolkit  eeek:

 I did pick something up saying these looked like handcuffs  rubschin: and was told in no uncertain terms to put them back down , they are exhaust thingy's . There then proceeded a ten minute enlightening experience  noooo:, where , if I had not been in a coma, I would have understood what they did  ::)

He must have mini-mania badly not to have latched on to your interest in hadncuffs.  whistle:

The THW and Minimus both have Ukuleles. They can be a lot of fun and it doesn't have to be all George Formby.
Mozo of late memory and much missed was always strummin' his.

I know. My oldest chum who's in Oz has been playing for some time and was recently in a Guinness World Record attempt for the most Ukes played at one time. They didn't achieve it but had a ball. When I was there earlier in the year I had a look at her collection  eeek:

I sent a clip over recently and she's learning it  lol:

I gave up guitars some years ago... the Martin, the Hofner Verithin, the Ramirez. It wouldn't take much to get me back into the rhydum ...  whistle:

If I put you down for percussion MissD would that be ok?  Banging things, making lots of noise? ...  razz:

And now, I don't recommend this until you've quietened down a bit, relaxed and want something truly moving ...

Moving West ...

This is probably one of the most moving pieces of music for me and, in trying to figure out why it's probably got something to do with this. On or about my 18th birthday, a resident of Prague (I didn't know it at that time) came over to me sobbing his heart out. They have taken her, he said. They've invaded. He was inconsolable.

We had a boy join our school in 1969 ~ came from Czechoslovakia after the invasion. All I ever remember is that he taught me the phrase "take your knickers off" in Czech  eeek:
