Anyone heard of this company, which is selling Chinese Teles and Strats (even "lefties"!) for less than £60? I thought the Farida Tele was cheap, but....!

All the best,

Roger

Gordon,

We've just got 'round to buying a copy of "As it Happens" (bit late after the event we know!) and are playing it now. What great memories of what was a very special night (and w/e for that matter).

Best to you and Hilary,

Roger & Em(x)

Russ, Hmmm.......whatever happened to encouraging young people and giving them a positive environment to develop in!!? Ash, As a future king of the Firebird I thought you might enjoy the following youtube clips: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErYXGVyA3U0&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/wa...

Gordon, I agree with Bob on this one - in fact, I could have written his reply! I've never seen the point of cover versions that are pretty much the same as the original anyway, but believe that they should reflect a person's sound, style and general approach to playing, music etc. Something I learn...

Yes, it's that day again, which has added importance for us because it's my Dad's Birthday - 82 today and still going strong - happy Birthday Dad!!

I think you'll find it's also the Birthday of William Shakespeare today.

Best to everyone,

Roger (from the sickbed, but on a nice new PC!)

We'd just like to say thanks to Gordon and Hilary too. Great party (where did all those hours go?!) with great people - what more can you say!! Can't wait to see some of the photos! Nice to meet you Russ and your family - same to Jacqui and Larry. Hope to see you all again sometime. Best wishes, Rog...

Russ, Yes it was a very nice weekend away thanks, our first of 2008 due to car problems. Some of our friends who run a pub/B&B in Bridport are retiring next month, so a few of us stayed with them for probably the last time (at the pub anyway). Two of us have Birthdays 'round about this time, so ...

Hi Gordon,

We'd like to add our belated Birthday wishes. We were down in Bridport for the weekend and couldn't find an internet cafe. Anyway, hope you had a very enjoyable day.

Love and best wishes,

Roger & Em (X)

Gordon, It's interesting that you mention John Gustafson. I first came across him with Roxy Music, as he played on three of their 70's albums and also toured with them a few times (I saw him playing with them in 1975). I always liked his playing. I wonder what he's doing these days? One of my more m...

Gordon,

I guess that in the days of the GG band you must have recorded and performed with quite a few bass players. Who did you enjoy working with, both as people and musicians?

Thanks,

Roger

Gordon, Just wondering if you have any plans to have a look at the new Farida electrics, which are based on the Tele and the Slimline Tele? I was watching a version of Dodo's where you use your Farida and it certainly has sound that is fitting for the piece, particularly as it is so inexpensive. Any...

Peter,

Thanks alot for the info - very useful and interesting!

Roger

Nice one Russ! When get chance can you post a photo please.

All the best,

Roger

Russ,

Glad to be of help!

All the best,

Roger

Hi Russ!

Our PC is now fixed (as is our central heating - pity about the car!).

If you want to post some contact details or send a private message I'ii try to get the knobs sent to you over the weekend.

All the best,

Roger
