Adventures in a Yorkshire Landscape

Pure self indulgence at my 50th Birthday Charity event where I chose to take on a beautiful piece of music from the artist Bill Nelson and his pop art group Be-Bop Deluxe. I now know the meaning of genius!!

This piece was taken from his 'Axe Victim' album and was a strong feature of my adolescent life - what a guitar tutor and philospher / artist to boot!

Thanks to the band for their tireless dedication to making my dreams come true!

There is a cameo feature on the remarkable man that is Bill Nelson in my book 'Sex, Leadership and Rock'n'Roll' - Business Leadership and Personal Development 'tamed' with rock and pop culture!

Bill Nelson is such a underrated, but very talented guitarist!

Hey Peter this is great. Am only a couple of years behind - and I may have to try and upstage ya! Nice tone - what gear are you susing (don't say you have a Gibson ES345 with Bigsby or I'll get really jealous...). Fab - and hope you had a great party - looks like it!
