That is really fantastic Leo - thanks a lot, so quickly penned, made us laugh so much, some great lines. I'll post it on FB if that's okay and on the venue's page. Cheers mate.

Leo, As you have slotted so beautifully into the role of the Acoustic Soundboard Comic Bard and in view of this latest gem's theme I think that you should take the stage name of "Jake Daiquiri" LOL! Take a bow, sir! (I don't have the requisite nylon string geetar, mind)

Dave, you read my mind ... my final line was going to be something along the lines of 'Now you'll excise me but I really have to pee' but I couldn't find a wine that ended in 'ee' and all the other rhymes I came up with were just too tortuous even for me. Mais oui ?

I was desperately trying to fit in the line "the way I raised funds for the Korstal nearly landed me in borstal" but it was the wrong rhyme pattern and I couldn't do anything else with it... But it's in the notebook for another time

Shame the borstal line couldn't be in there - hilarious... and you wrote that without being intoxicated? Brilliant!

Jonny, good luck with the gig, but the main question, of course, is: what kind of wine are talking about ?

Had a great time - met some top people and drunk some pretty decent wine... red stuff Bernd, my favourite was their top wine Tahi, a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre. The acoustics worked out fine, but when the place filled up I had to turn it up a lot. Mrs Mosco said the Kostal sounded very clear, I was afraid it would be a bit boomy... I met a guy called Kevin, an old rocker, who brought his guitar along, we played a bit together - he played John Martyn's "Singing in the rain", one of my favourites, such a happy song from someone so troubled; he said he knew him in the old days. I played Leo's song to the host, he laughed so much and thought it was a great song. He's actually a student of mine and I'm hoping he'll join us on here. Jonny

Leon, after the wine tasting when everybody had gone, the beer tasting started... not a good start to April!
