johnb Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Gracie, I am sure there are many ladies on the forum who can also play instruments, then it may be the role some of the men in the audience to throw various items onto the stage...not a picture I would want to keep in mind for long! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wussername Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 You are to be applauded for such an ambitious introduction to your new hobby. The Lonnie Donaghan tea chest had a certain simplicity which is about all that I could manage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumpy Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Vaughan - my late father in-law played washboard with Lonnie back when he was playing round East London pubs. Kathy still has his thimbles in a baccy tin somewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 If it can be done with a guitar then why not a double base? Would the sticky out of the front thing be included in a toll calculation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise that rock bands come with groupies, don't you? I can just see the ladies of the forum at the front of the stage , throwing items of clothing at our motley crew lol, Carole, get those heels on girl You could call yourselves The Forum Fuzz Grace You could do the song "You got me" Problem is, those printing the advertising would probably shorten the band name and write... "You got me by The Fuzz" lol No wonder your songs bring tears to your eyes lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildfuzz Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 Driving a desk for the past couple of years has taken its toll with a couple of inches on my belt. Wintertime its hard to get the motivation to exercise properly (well that's the current excuse) Middle age kinda crept up on me I think its time to fight back........
