I bought a Fender Sunburst acoustic-electric guitar sometime ago. It's a cheap model, but it works a treat. First I brought it to a lutenist (The bridge was too high), then I replaced the strings with D'Addario EXP16 Coated Phosphor Bronze (.012-.053) ones. Love these strings

When will you make a mini concert to showoff your chops?

Why am I seeing this only today, 3 days after it was posted???

Fantastic guitar, Ted, congratulations! I can imagine what a proud owner you must be.

I couldn't watch the "I'm outta time" video as it says it's not available in my country, but I watched the "Wild West Hero" one on headphones and that guitar sounds fantastic (besides being aesthetically beautiful). Now you've got to gift us with a full song using it.

And Horace, what's that all about? Once you get famous and glamorous you want to jump out of the ship along with your animals the first opportunity you get?

I think I'll have to send our managers to deal with this issue.

The best therapy for any problem you might have is playing music with friends.

Oi! What's all this about moonlighting with our backing artistes, HW?

I don't recall authorising this sort of side project, but if there's not a fat fee involved, with a healthy slice for BSJ and I, you know what'll be coming your way...

H W, I had to reread your post a few times making sure I read it correctly. I just cannot believe this H W! Do the animals understand they will be just as culpable?

Need to discuss a rider for the contract dealing with this. David Griffen (sp?) is the person for help.

The animals are very concerned at their lack of bookings, after the single came out they were sure they were on the brink of making it big in the music industry, I have to grab every chance in an attempt to appease them.

I was of course going to run any contract past the management wiggle

Oho, slippery customer is it? The Management is Watching YOU

Don't know what you mean about the lack of bookings, I did put Buttercup forwards as the new face of cheese spread, but they just weren't interested in a Miserable Cow.

That wasn't my fault! Someone mixed up the bookings!

I blame the Funky Flock of Chickens, they're brilliant at gospel-style choruses but as an admin department? Rubbish.

Remind me never again to take on staff based on your recommendations, HW

I got myself a new Gibson Les Paul today... I'm not much of a guitarist but I had a crack at Fire On High whiles testing it for the first time. (10min 30sec)

Hi Ted,
you made a great choice

If I could ask Santa to bring me some guitars, my choices would be:

1 - Rickenbacker 360 FG Fireglo

2 - Gibson Les Paul Custom EB GH

3 - Gibson SG Standard 120

4 - American Vintage '52 Telecaster

5 - Classic Series '72 Telecaster Custom

6 - American Standard Stratocaster

Hey tedblight or Buttler, or anyone else interested, if you want to contribute an original song to the board CD, that will be out in February or so, just message me and Helmut, so we can slate you in. Thanks! Encouraging y'all to do it!!!

Jim
