    Keyboards of various types.

    The best band drinker I ever saw was Acker Bilk. How he was ever standing at the end of the night in Watford Jazz Club I will never know.

    I use to live in some flats overlooking a real ale pub where they would practice at 9 o'clock on Sunday mornings. Nightmare.

    Is that Lead to rhyme with 'bead' or 'bed'?

    I'm definitely up for guitar. I play locally in a covers band and we do all sorts of stuff, from standards like Mustang Sally up to Foofighters and kings of Leon etc. We're crap, but it gives me a chance to play LOUD without some concertina player whining in my ear to turn it down. You guys won't mind it loud , will you?

    By the way, Hornette, you don't have to do the beer maid thing around morris, you can dance. Lots of women dance morris. There is a small group of dinosaurs called the Morris Ring who insist that only men can dance the morris. The rest of the morris world just laughs at them.

    Anyone see the film Morris- A Life With Bells?

    Cant say that I have Gordon, However I certainly hope you will be able to make it the Nesties meet up at whatever game we decide to pick! I hope you bring your guitar too ,could be a lot of fun in a local bar:)

    I'd love to. Got to get strong enough first though. A while back I was looking at the beginning of next season for my return to live football, but that's looking a bit further off now- slow recovery.

    In the mean time, if we're going to do the band thing properly we need to put together a set list. Everybody gets a say.
    My first vote is for 'Brown Sugar' cos I learned how easy it is to do totally authentically in the open tuning that Keef uses. Sounds brilliant.

    Yes I have read a lot of it and hesitated to dive in because there's so much to talk about- I'd be typing all day if I did!
