Evening Strumpets,
Just completed the fourth Facebook quiz, and as usual the winner gets to pick a tune to be posted on the blog. Mr Steven Kirkbride won,his vast knowledge of Modern Pentathlon and Addams family members helped a lot, and requested this.
Hope you like it mate,
Till the next one, learn something new.
Mark.

Chip off the old block
Evening strumpets,
Grace has had her pink guitar for just over a year now, and has enjoyed messing about with it, although it`s never been in tune since day 1. So this afternoon, I`ve sat down with her, and taught her about tuning the strings and what they`re called, and we`ve worked on an E Major chord.
I have to say, she`s took it up really well, and here is her first interpretation of the song she loves us to sing to her at bedtime.
Till the next one, learn something new,

Extremes.
Afternoon strumpets,
So here`s a couple of examples of the sheer diversity and delight that is known as the guitar. If any of you have kids, really, really really encourage them to pick up an instrument. I worked out Magic Fly when i got in from work, it took about five minutes to do it, and this is reflected in the slightly rough around the edges playing. i`ll get better, promise. I love the fact that it lends itself to the guitar so well.
Nebraska on the other hand, is just about the most beautifully dark piece of music there is, (especially when played by Mr Springsteen.) "Well sir I guess there`s just a meanness in this land" Shivers.

Charming.
Evening Strumpets,
A couple of the Alice Charmers will be playing a gig at Doc Browns in Boro tomorrow evening. Unfortunately Andy is unable to make it as he`s got work commitments he just cannot get out of.
We`re really going to miss him, and it means we don`t get to play the more enjoyable (to play anyway) Charmers songs, (Toll the Line, little ditty, and John Henry),but me and Carl will still belt out a couple of tunes which hopefully should get their feet a tapping and their eyeballs a flapping.
Here`s a late addition to the set (though i`m still trying to persuade Carl to play Jamboree). Wish us luck.
