Trust me - it's hard. There's a project going on over here at the moment, involving all the local Brass and Silver Bands - the idea is to get their players together to open the 100th TT races this year. A local boy and TT rider in the past would arrive on George Formby's old cycle, and the band strike up "Riding in the TT Races".
I offered to play my Uke for them, but has anyone got back to me?? No. The swines.

An optimist believes we live in the best of all worlds. A pessimist fears that the optimist is right...

It has been said that a 12 string guitar player spends half the time tuning and the other half playing an out of tune guitar. |

My wife says I'm a pessimist. She says, "Pessimists have no hope!"
I say, "Not true! I have hopes, lots of hopes. I hope the car doesn't break down, I hope we don't get lost, I hope we don't get mugged coming out of McDonalds, I hope my plane doesn't fall out of the sky, I hope my bladder doesn't explode... See? I'm hopeful!" |
