Location: Yorkshire, England | Local Government, Alan. There is no call for musical talent here in Barnsley anymore. Anyway, all wooden instruments were burnt on the fires to keep us warm during the coal miners strike of the 80's. |

I always take my hat off before hitting a lady and I have seen with my own eyes Temp use cutlery when he didn't strictly need to.
That's close enough to gentlemanly behaviour for me. |

Location: London, UK | SWMBO is planning a trip to England/Ireland/Scotland for next year. I may be the only one in the group interested in music, although no one in the group complained about the 4 hour jam session Karl and I had in Germany a couple years ago. I'm not sure if they could handle Schroeder or Temp, but if anyone across the pond has any suggestions for people or places to visit, please let me know. I hate to go a week without feeding my guitar fix. Well, the best London can offer if you're wanting to browse guitars and so on is the many small specialist music stores in Denmark Street, AKA Tin Pan Alley, just behind the redevelopment site near Tottenham Court Road tube station. But be warned, since the Fender takeover, Ovations seem to have all but disappeared.
Denmark Street joins Charing Cross Road, where you'll find some of the oldest (and one of the largest) bookstores in the world, if that's any interest to you. |
