That’ll be the day… (slight return)

Well, it’s done. Item number 2 on my “bucket list” is complete (#1 was to have a loving wife and kids – without them, the other items are meaningless) . Three and a half months’ rehearsal over in a flash.

Did I enjoy myself? Well, DUH! Standing on stage, playing the role I first saw twenty years ago, was simply an amazing experience. But it’s not really about me, it’s about the rest of the company and, more importantly, the paying public.

This is what the Hertfordshire Mercury had to say:

And do you know what? I’d do it all again tomorrow, if I could.

…I rocked my socks off.

Yup, another successful National get-together with the guys ‘n’ gals associated with the uk.music.guitar newsgroup – thanks again for a(nother) memorable weekend.

Anyone interested in seeing photos (and, eventually, videos) of the event should stop by the newsgroup and say hello – linkage abounds therein.

Open mouth…

This morning, Holly (2) was flicking through one of my guitar mags…

Holly: “Holly looking at guitars for Daddy.”
Me: “Are you going to buy me a new guitar, then?”
Holly: “Yes.”
Jo: “I think Daddy’s got enough…”
Holly: “No, Mummy – more!”

I don’t think anything else needs to be said…

Ah woke up dis mornin’…

…and I crushed the Rebel Alliance…

Thanks, Ian – I’ve only just stopped crying…

There’s your problem, right there…

Another classic from my Freecycle digest emails.

Nah, that couldn’t be why they’re giving them away…

…could it?

Oh yes…
