Geoff, we have truelly missed your smiley wee face, let us know how you are.

Asleep at the steel

[Jif]

Cheers Willie, missing the cameraderie and the banter! The musics not bad either

Health comes and goes but I seem to on an upward trend so that's good. Was at the physio yesterday and he gave me a thorough examination, oo err missus, I've been getting a lot of pain in my neck, but that's enuff about the missus, boom boom. Good news is the vertebrae at the top of my spine are in decent shape and my problems seem to be more muscular. Decades of bad posture in front of a computer screen. So I've been doing exercises to correct this and they're helping. Last year I was getting migraine headaches that were lasting for weeks, couldn't do anything but lie down in a darkened room, but getting less frequent and don't last as long now, so.....

Anyway, put a new set of Live Strings on the steel yesterday and it's sounding sweet. Been playing a lot, working on a version of Sleepwalk with my guitarist friend Danny Scott, he did the guitar on My Funny Valentine and is a fine player. It's coming together nicely, but you'll need to show me your technique for harmonics, I'm bu&$#@%=d if I can get the sustain working there.

Also recording a young lady friend of mine doing a version of Caledonia, I play a wee steel solo on it.

Anyway gonna try and make it to the next one, so better get practising

[Danny Mitchell]

Aye sure Geoff, that auld wan......

Says aged gentleman to young lady, "Mon up the stairs and ah'll show ye ma copedent".

It's nae wonder your aching all over.

TOTAL ADMIRATION FOR DAVE AND HIS PLAYING. WHAT ELSE CAN ANYONE SAY?

[Jif]

Yer a wicked man and no mistake Mr Mitchell

Unfortunately the young lady has already seen my copedant and wisnae impressed, still ye've gotta try. I have noticed though a lot of younger woman looking at me recently, I was feeling quite good about it until I realised they were thinking, he looks just my Grandad
