You keep singing it too
I keep singing the same old song
But sung to a different tune"

Me I hope!!!
With a few detecable flavours peppered among the notes
Played in bands from when I was 15 till I was 30. Everything from solo busking, to folk duo to 11 piece reggae band and heavy metal.
After a brief hiatus of 15 years seem to have started playing and writing again!
Still going strong, playing loads mainly with Tackety Boot.
The world - well the UK - better beware:
We've just applied to Britain's Got Talent - soon everyone will know and love the Gay Rooster!!
I wanted to send some sort of holiday greeting to my friends and family, but it is so difficult in today's world to know exactly what to say without offending someone.
So I met with my legal advisors yesterday, and on their advice I wish to say the following:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, our best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced with the most enjoyable traditions of religious persuasion or secular practices of your choice with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.
We also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2010, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make our continent great (not to imply that any other continent is necessarily greater than any other continent) and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.
By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms:
This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.
Disclaimer: No trees were harmed in the sending of this message; however, a significant number of electrons were positionally inconvenienced.
Hey Rab, Great night at Bettys last night, shame you had to wait till the end. Hope you are enjoying Crail Christmas Party ! Love Homecoming, especially the slade type electric guitar going on near the end - is that new to your recording?
We'd love to spin tales of acrimonious break-ups as our reason for disappearing off the face of the earth, but I'm afraid its just pain-in-the-ass work that's kept us out of the scene.
Never mind though, we've kept ourselves real busy recording when we can, and I think we're about to come roaring back to the live stuff this week (although I see wednesday at betty's is dedicated to our departing guest).
Hope to catch you and the rest of the gang again soon,
loved your set at largoward last night - am so jealous about the mandolin - its fab will get some of the photos and footage up soon. homecoming is becoming my favourite (i think even over brother sylvest) ! see you wednesday Viv
Hey I hope you had a great day! I've been real busy recording new songs since American Idol! I am so excited cuz I just found out you can buy my new song 'MY COWBOY' on iTunes! Just click on my Banner and it will take you to iTunes....and please write a review & rate my song :D (5 Stars...pleeeease) when you're there.
Thanks for all your support and help me spread the word!
