"The trick, corporal Potter, is not minding that it hurts."

Is this what's called "Smoking guitar?"

@ 2min "You could live a full and viable life"! Doesn’t do the pig much good tho, does it?

The best racing cyclist that ever lived? with out doubt it was an English woman. Beryl Burton; 7 world championships, 72, yes that's right, 72 national time trial championships, dozens of pursuit titles. In all, more than 90 domestic titles, the mens 12hr time trial record as well and had women b...

Please please! you You-tubers: whatever a computer program tells you; a song has words, a tune does not. Please spread the word. Meanwhile I still wait to hear the brilliant Pierre Bensusan sing!!

Sorry, I died of bordom waiting for you to get to the point.

If it has 'shared' use, i.e. pick up - drop off, who will check it isn't damaged? That it's still safe for use? Who's going to clean it if it's left in a mess? How will the batteries be recharged? Who will maintain it? What's the legality of picking up a vehicle that may not be roadworthy? Can it...

Wow! I have not heard these guys since the mid 60's! I believe I saw them at the Surbiton Folk Club ran by Malcolm Sargent? I was a real bluegrass fan back then. I recall I was very impressed with this band and particularly by the banjo being less intrusive than most bluegrass bands of the day. (...

Ah the memories! Met Nic a couple of times and always enjoyed his performances. Saw Nic at a very small club in Staines about Jan 1980. He really was on song that freezing night. As we left my good mate responded; "That's the best two quid I've ever spent! How true. Regards from B&L, NZ.

Great lesson. Simple, quick, logical and to the point!! Many thanks from Baz, NZ.

Many years ago a long gone australian friend of mine, Bob Pomeroy used to play a piece he called "Arctic Convergence" in DADDAD. He said he was trying to convey the feeling of the lonely windswept ice. Mostly consisted of holding down the two A strings at the 2nd then 4th then 5th* frets (*a very...

I was just thinking "Left hand thread, interesting, must be extraterrestrial" when out pops the little fella' and he's got six hands. What kind of thread would he produce? right, left, maybe or maybe right-right, or left-left, possibly right-left, left-right, left-left-right, right-right-left, le...

I do believe this tune is "The girl from The County Down" Still great never the less.

Hi Rob , been enjoying your playing this morning.. Very inspiring..

Re the Chrisjwhit comments about "The wait" for the Bown.. There's a rustic TV advert here in NZ for cheese (very cheesy) the punch line of which is: "Good things take time" I have a Creedy, walnut back and sides which I bought ...

I've been playing acoustic guitars for almost 50 years now and owned/ played all sorts.( My current favourite is a 12 fret Brook Cready)

However, when anyone starting out ever asks me "What should I buy?" I always point them at Yamaha. I can hear even more now just why i've done that! Great soun...

You boys should be smiling all the way through 'cause that was sweet. Regards from NZ.

A luthier told me many years ago that the original concept for the guitar body was it should be a combination of two drums; one centered on the bridge and the other on the sound hole. Those early instruments were 12 fret but players demanded octive chords above the 12th so makers, not wanting to ...

The best start young and only get better.

You can come over to my place anytime you like!

As we say in NZ when something is beyond good; "Wicked" just "Wicked" Great guitar, beautifully played.

I say again, without one atom of proof; it is a mathematical certainty that there is life on other planets. It is also a mathematical certainty that the human race will not survive long enough to ever encounter it.

Is it not amazing that we develop our greatest science for killing one another?

George on Beckham: " He can't tackle, he cant' head the ball and he can't dribble. Apart from that he's alright!" RIP.

Joe took a young player (who?) back on to the empty stadium pitch after a game and said to him "Where is it son?" " Where's what." "The hole you hid in all afternoon!" One of the all time great managers.

What was it George said of Beckham? "He can't tackle, he can't head the the ball, he can't dribble, apart from that he's alright!" George knew was it took to be a complete player. Best was Best.

What skills show here. These guys could all get work in todays overpaid, foreign dominated premiership.

I'm so sad that Eddy the Eagle didn't make the list.

So different from the original by Randy Newman yet just as brilliant. Although this recording is playing a quarter tone sharp, I believe the tuning is open A. (1-6 E A E C# A E or more likely with the fourth string also taken down to A ). Regards from NZ.

Sorry but the definitive version is by Nic Jones in my humble opinion.

Greetings from NZ. Just great. Masterful timing. Keeping the Tradition Alive!! Many thanks.

" Next week we'll be reviewing three films. The first is about a welsh mining town. That's called 'Coal tips'. The second is set in a prison of war. That's called 'Colditz'. The last stars Rachel Welch as an eskimo. We're not sure whats that's called!"

The Two Ronnies at their very best.

Fan-bloody-tastic. Just listening to this makes me feel fifty years younger! Thanks for posting!

I believe the first flight was a very short hop over the A3 from Vickers (BAC) Weybridge, Surrey, to the old war time runway 2 miles south. (early 60's I think.) I was told they were so worried about the short runway that they cut a slot through the old Brooklands motor race track banking which c...

I was there that day!! I went to see the greatest: JC. If you go on Google Earth and put in "Crystal Palace, Anerley Hill, Bromley, London SE19" you should zoom in close enough to make out the old circuit. The start/finish line was on the western side where the road has been pulled up and I thin...

As we say in NZ when something's this good..."Wicked!"

Very nice indeed! Came across this while relearning 'Coilsfield House' , from Seal Song, an Ossian favourite since the early 80's. Regards from NZ.

My mother came from Aberdare, South Wales and My father from Blackerhill, Barnsley, Yorkshire. Both of their fathers were coal miners. My mother's father died before I was born. My father's father vowed that none of his son's would ever go down a pit. (They never did, maybe working nine years in ...

So, it's true: the most powerful song needs no accompaniment.
