One of these days Phil will make the great leap into the sixties. Probably around the same time that I start to enjoy punk instead of regarding it as a threat to my way of life...

Bonkers be b******d. This is true British out-and-out lunacy, and such tendencies should be nurtured and encouraged at all costs.

Thank you Andrew. I had totally and completely forgotten about that album. I now recall the cover and the fact that it was a major favourite, but I can't remember a note of the music so now I'm going to have to track it down and remind myself what it was about. I wonder if I'll still like it?

No-one's mentioned vinyl yet. How about one of these?

Friend of mine tried to service his boiler once, and being economically minded he decided to reduce the size of the pilot flame to cut down on gas wastage.

So basically the positions of the frets on a conventional guitar are a compromise between the requirements of each individual string? That would make sense.

No, it looked pretty much like a conventional bass, except for the layout of the frets.

On Jools Holland last night there was a bloke playing a bass guitar wnich had frets which, rather than being at right-angles to the neck, were laid out so that they radiated out from a point somewhere around the player's left foot. What's that all about then?
