Originally we are from Watford, Hertfordshire. Not a place I'd want to live anymore, but we still have a lot of family there.

As for northern Spain, never been there myself! We are waaaay down south (nr Seville). But I will ask for you because some of the guys that hubby works with are from northern Spain, maybe they can give you a few tips!

I'll get back to you on that one.  But I'm sure it'll be a great trip.

Speak soon.

Hi ya 1bloke, sorry for the huge delay in replying! I've just been so busy it's been mad.

Anyway, the playing and singing is coming along nicely. I'm currently working on a duet of the Stones' Wild Horses with a lady in Canada and a truely awesome guitarist in USA. The wonders of modern technology eh! Thanks for the encouragement. I'm purely a hobbiest though (and still can't sing in front of anybody!!!)

The new forum (and now shop) have been hogging a lot of time, but it's all great fun.

And as for Hubby, well what can I say! He's been dabbling with guitar for about 6 months. But a few weeks ago had some one to one time with a guy from the forum in our videochat, then recorded this. Well it's not perfect, but for someone that's been playing lead for only a couple of weeks and knows no music theory, I'm really proud of him.

Hope you are well. Keep playing and keep biking...it's all there to enjoy! Life is good!

Hi, ibloke,
nice to hear from a fellow motorcyclist. My T-bird is a Hinkely one, although I have had a few Meridan Triumphs in the past. I'm not sure if 'guitarist' describes my attempt at playing, but I try.

All the best.

thanks, thats the way i try and approach it but sometimes it can get to me a bit. Keep pushing on though, and will hopefully get there someday.

 

Thank you for the words of advice

hope all is well

Hi 1Bloke,
Avoiding you? Perish the thought. You're not the only one who reckons I've gone quiet. Due to family health issues I've only been able to get on line sporadically for short periods. Apart that is for the wee small hours when anyone esle with an ounce of sense is tucked up in their beds. Fingers crossed things will get back to normal in the reasonably near future.
Best Regards
Des

Hi,

Glad you liked 'She Moves Through The Fair'. It's played in DADGAD tuning lapstyle with the guitar setup like a dobro (raised nut). A little unconventional but I got the idea after listening to dobro maestro Jerry Douglas. A dobro is next on my wish list.

Good pics 1bloke, my hubby was particularly taken by the triumph pic though. You'll need to give us access to some of your music, so we can hear what those pictures sound like!
