Last Friday I joined an old friend on stage in Guildford for a blistering version of Born to be Wild Thanks a bunch! Looks really good. I'm sure it was a great sound, too. Performance pics and music are welcome anytime.

But truth be told, I didn't have any monitor and couldn't hear what I was playing as I played it. Good to shake the cobwebs off though, been in and out of the studio all year working on the second album - yes, it's better than the first one!

Sadly, I don't play any musical instrument, it's a good job too, I am tone deaf. Now you said Fretslider that you couldn't hear what you was playing because you didn't have a monitor. So tell me, how would you know if you was playing at all. None of my family could play a musical instrument but did fancy our selves has singers. My elder brother was a baritone, sang with a tenor, they worked the a Workingmans Clubs. On the bill has Tom and Dennis.a bit eye catching don't you think. Me myself only sang at our Workingmans Club when there was no turn on, we had what we called it, a free and easy. It was surprising how many talented people lived in our little village. I was a Paul Robeson fan, I would sing songs like Trees, and my Curly Headed Baby, my favourite song I sang was Too Young. It became our theme song. When I told my mother I was going to get married, my mother said we were too young, I was 21 years old, my bride to be was 18 years old. She had recently lost her father, her only parent. Now here we are, 66 years later soon to be 67 years, still together. Just proving we were not too young, still sing it to my wife by the way. She doesn't sing, if she did she would clear a church in 30 seconds flat. Just saying.

Now you said Fretslider that you couldn't hear what you was playing because you didn't have a monitor. So tell me, how would you know if you was playing at all.I played the opening 2 bars unaccompanied. Is 6 months later is too long to comment on this? (kind of a newbie here). I once cleared an audience because I couldn't hear myself and apparently it was dreadfully off pitch.
But I was new at playing shows, and I had once combed my hair perfectly in the dark by reasoning that "my hands know where to go" (and they did!). So, relying on that same thought,
when I found I couldn't hear, I continued because what else was I gonna do. Well, turns out there was another option: stop! for godssake stop! I think we can cut you some slack on the timing! Unless you have a machine...
