Van Greener + Lindsay

How about next friday (23rd) we will book the room. (the boys cant do saturday)
Neil i think you will be cowbell, percussion & vocals lol. Not enough time for the bass lol. Bring We can have a few tinnies & maybe some food (takeaway)
Mick how are your songs coming on ?
I can do a rendition of them now, no worries about Luke lol so if you just want to practice a good guitar pose in the mirror that should be ok.
Give Luke a ring and he will look for a guitar for you (he says you could get an SG for a decent price)

[Mick]

Yes, next Friday is fine with me.

I think I can do a half decent job on fire and water, I know it will take Luke about 5 mins to do this, but can he do this version of the Kossoff solo?(see link) I can also manage good loving gone bad and back in black. Jumping Jack flash is fairly easy, but I cannot find the bloody key that the Stones play it in. Rock n roll, I need to practice, I will see how I get on. I have not looked at thin lizzy yet.

If Luke can bring his other guitar and strap along on Friday I will have a chat with him about the merits of an SG.

Let me know the details later but I am really looking forward to this! Neil snd Simon, how are is the percussion and vocals coming aong?

[Paul]

no worries mick we will bring all the kit, sounds like you have been busy lol, ill get it booked now

[Paul]

dont worry about the thin lizzy one Mick, we will do a rendition of jailbreak there is only 1 guitar in that so have a look at that one, we sometimes do a bit of a thrash to that one

[Mick]

My fingers are coming back slowly, can't wait to hear Lukes 100 watt Marshall behind me! The last time I have heard something that loud was that Lightening fighter!

[Neil]

Guys i think i can do the tinnies and the take away no problem lol, should be great fun cant wait lol. Do you need me to help taking kit over in my car on Friday ?

[Paul]

and how can you manage 10 cans of cider Neil lol. No We will take 2 over and get you there, u will need to take over the fold up chair, likewise Mick if you have one. What are you gonna do Mick @? go straight there or come here, its just off the A14

[Mick]

I will meet you all there, just let me know where and when.

[Mick]

Luke has found me a cracking guitar! Should have it for Friday to try out....so excited!

[Paul]

i know mick, its got great reviews. Tomorrow when ever you can make it. I will be over there about 6, its just of the A6003, turn left at the hamburger roundabout opposite the harvester (by Argos) then next left you will see an old farm buildings on your right its in there (by the Koi carp centre) its called Parlor studios). Neil i'll pick u up about quarter to if thats ok. Bring your drink, we will get atakeaway , Hows Pizza ?.
The room is £28 between us, Mick luke has hired an amp for you (no cost) thats a fiver each & about 8 quid for the pizzas so 13 quid all in . we can stay as long as we want

[Neil]

Thats great Paul, i will bring the tinnies and the chair do you need me to bring anything else ?

[Neil]

Paul just thinking it might be easier if you come round the back of my house as i will end up going arse over tit carrying that lot lol.

[Mick]

Talk about a kid with a new toy....it arrived today, it looks absolutely stunning and the quality is suberb. I cannot believe it for the really good price I paid. Cannot wait to hear it plugged in. Shame I sound like I will be playing with gloves on though. Still, Luke will coax some amazing sounds out of it. See you there I will come straight from work.

[Paul]

Neil

Dont come out till i knock the door, ill come round the back. See you tomorrow

[Neil]

Fantastic night guys really enjoyed myself, top marks to all of you i thought the playing was brilliant. At some point today i will put a few songs up of you guys to have a think about.

[Mick]

When can we do it again! Fantastic stuff! I am going through a few more tracks I can bring next time. Think I will try the hunter and can't get enough of your love. I have also gained a new appreciation of Thin Lizzy...might try dancing in the moon light and the boys are back in town.

[Neil]

Mick get your luggs around this

[Neil]

Hey guys
just been on ebay and i can pick up a washboard for a tenner great stuff, but i gonna need some help from Luke.
The idea
washboard hooked up to an amp is it poss? i think it would have to be a home made effort but could be a lot of fun lol i can feel some delta blues coming on )

[Neil]

It can be done i just found this site, Paul please ask Luke if we can do this

[Mick]

Brilliant stuff, I am we could rig that up somehow. I have added Rosalie to the list. Really could do with a month off work to practice. ha ha

[Paul]

I am really pleased you guys enjoyed it. Bit ropey on some but i think we pretty much nailed a few. Mick i know you want to add to your repertoire, Thin Lizzy is good stuff to play, i love the drumming in jailbreak, Rosalie is a good one also Bad Co, any suits me as i play them all lol. Kirke is one of my favourite drummers i love his solid beat. Lizzy is a bit different as Downey often plays a shuffle which is also good to play.
I enjoyed the singing but glad i was drowned out as i am crap ha.
Neil you should give some serious thought to discovering if you are musical, Why not buy a cheap bass sometime & give it a go ? maybe take a few lessons its a good place to start & its not too tricky an instrument, would be great to have you up there playing as well.

Well looks like we have found something else to do to add to our second teenage years lol

[Mick]

I agree with Paul Neil, nothing ventured nothing gained! Give it a go for a few weeks at least.

Bloody fingers are knackered today, index finger has a blister on it and the top joint has seized up! Think I need to rest them for a couple of days. Paul I thought your drumming was brill last night, with a bit of practice on a few tracks I think we can be really good. I know I will be a lot better by the next time.

[Paul]

Thanks Mick, did you get any photos you could upload ?

[Mick]

Paul, I have emailed you some pics, although i don't think the movie ones worked.

[Paul]

cheers mick
