2013 North England Steel Guitar Festival - 10 & 11 August

[David Hartley]

Hey John Davis. I hope you can make it, it was really good last year.

[JohnDavisStringsHere]

Yes David, If`n the good Lord`s will`in an the creeks don`t rise .......... and apart from that I never met that Donny fella before and people say he is the life & soul of the party

[Basil Henriques]

Pat and I planned on going, BUT:-

[Tony Russell Davis]

Shoulda put a warning before posting that Baz! All our worst nightmares . Get well soon, Tony.
PS - come anyway and be an audiant?

[Basil Henriques]

Would come if I could drive but no strength in finger of left hand, can't change gear or SAFELY hold steering wheel.. double drat..

[Basil Henriques]

That incision is straight down the medial nerve that controls the thumb, index and ring fingers.. The other incision is for the pinkie's trigger finger syndrome.. all cured now but there has to be healing time..No doubt Pat and myself will manage to get up to a shindig in your part of the world soon..
I play Airsoft and there are a lot of sites I need to visit in and around your location. (In my capacity as Player's Discount Manager for the United Kingdom Airsoft Players UNION)

[JohnDavisStringsHere]

Hey Rambo!! did you stitch that up yourself.... ??? Thats a place I dont want to follow you....... Pat be nice to him ...he has suffered some .....

[Will C]

Good grief Basil, is that a Saracen? I thought they'd all been scrapped. Although I did think CVR(W) for a moment.

[David Hartley]

Ouch, that hand looks sore ...

[Basil Henriques]

Too right Dave, It's very sore when I try to play palm harmonics or blocking*1.. Just won't happen for a while.. I MUST rest it and give it chance to recover..

*1 In Hawaiian Style you ALSO block with your left hand rolling it to the left and thus raising the bar and dampening the strings.
