mrsblue used to play the broken record quite well?

Rumour has it she still has Jason Williams locked up in the basement.

I'm sure I can rustle up a couple of theremin and zither players, maybe even a bassoon at a push.

My brothers red hot on the Irish Bazouki, a Resonata, lap steel guitar, acoustic and electric guitars from Fender to Taylor and Martin and also exceptionally good on a Mandolin , also used to support Cajun Blues
Infact his expensive collection stretches to 24 guitar like instruments at last count

One Lutherian visited is currently building a personal guitar for around £15,000, but will take over a year to complete so wont be available yet for the Shrimpers blues all star band

As an old supporter of many, many years SUFC had our own Supporters Brass Band. They played and marched up and down the field at half time. The band leader had a long staff beating out the time as he led the band. Both men and woman in uniform.

I remember on one occastion it flicked out of his hand and stuck upright ahead of him in the turf, it was very funny.

I was there.It was a perfect piece of comic genius

Ron Martin used to be pretty good ...

but he only plays one song now and everyone is pretty sick of hearing it.

 

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

When I run a quiz at a new venue I usually do an intros round. For the first nine questions I play taped intros from various songs and then stop and pick up a guitar. I cannot play a note on it but for question 10 I thrash my hand quickly across the strings and then put the guitar down.



Typically about 80% correctly guess "Hard Days Night" by the Beatles. Although usually chuffed with this recognition I suspect it is not enough talent to sustain a concert night and so I will have to decline any invite to be part of your band ensemble.



But get yourself down to the Swanage Tennis Club quiz on Sat 21 Jan 2023 and you'll be able to admire this talent live, and have the answer to one question in the bag.

Do love level 42 must admit! I believe Paul Yeomanson at the trust is a huge level 42 fan as I recall

The thread is not really SUFC related anymore so I’ll move it to Homer’s Bar for continued chat!
