Apart from one weekend in September I only ever play for my own enjoyment.
I've not been paid to play since I was 22 - 40 years ago.
I'm okay with that.
I am in awe of anyone who has the chutzpah to play in front of strangers. I won't even play in front of a camera.

I am not a rule breaker. I may have no respect for your rules, fatfingerjohn, but I won't break them

This was too restrictive - Jesus had 12 mates round for HIS last supper!
I need to get Tom Lehrer and Mitch Benn in there somehow… 😀

No hiatus is allowed except for major surgery! If you've severed an artery or had an arm amputated: fair enough, we'll cut you some slack, but a HOLIDAY??? Unacceptable

Certainly looks ‘striking’ 😀
I can’t imagine the frustration when the soundboard doesn’t meet expectations - but look forward to seeing what the cedar looks/sounds like.
I’m prepared to let the looks grow on me…

I wouldn’t complain if it ended up in my house… 😀

Thank you to all who have watched... I am currently the 7th most watched video. Ok, it's only out of 13, but that's fine

Mel told me he thought I was being dramatic and making a political point about how dysfunctional the current politic system is by ending this way. Truth is I just missed the 5th fret for the first chord and so tried to pretend I was 'sliding up' for the rest. Can't be arsed/haven't got time to be re-recording it, though, and it also fits in to the intention of 'not just the professionals'

This all sounds very complicated, Alan J. It’ll be interesting to hear your views as to whether or not the maple nullifies the rosewood. Looks very striking though - no doubt I’ll buy a ticket 😀
