A flavour of the boys! Last month's SSGW

Thu May 07, 2015 12:32 am

Been meaning to do this since the meeting but it was a bit of a task to piece together!! Thanks John for coming to the aid of the camera man!

Don't know that it fits with the track but you'll get the idea!



Well done our Danny! and the ever bashful Dougie featured at the end! Nice work guys! :guitar:

Despite being a native of the Land of the thistle and perhaps could be called biased :)
That was exceptionally good playing all round,everyone had great touch and tone Well done Gents
The only way I could suggest for improvement is perhaps a visit to a beauty parlour for a makeover before recording. :lol:
Good camera work and sound
Thanks to all

Thanks for taking the time to compile this Bob. Excellent. These meetings are so enjoyable. BTW, your new setup is sounding immense. The tiny,tinny speakers on my pc don't reveal the firm, rounded fullness of your bottom end, but having been in the room, I know it's there.

Billy, I think it's too late for any such improvements....maybe brown paper bags? BTW, 'mon doon an' gies a choon.

Danny, I could not agree more about Zumbilly, I wish he and Billy McKillop and again the old codger from Beith would come along and give us the benefit of their vast years of knowledge.

I still live in hope that that day will eventually come.

These workshops are an absolute hoot, the playing and the banter is excellent, and I for one would not miss them for the world.
I do hope that our colleagues south of the border half as much fun as we do here in the frozen north.

It just goes to show how we can learn from anyone, irrespective of their length of time playing, For example we have a lad in our number called John Craig who has not been playing for a vast number of years, yet he has shown me numerous tricks, he has a great technical knowledge of the steel, and I applaud him for that.

I for one am not too proud to learn from anyone at all.

Just my humble opinion

Asleep at the Steel

Willie
Thanks for spelling My name correctly.
Methinks I would be a veritable Albatross amongst such sweet Larks. :lol:
I apologise for apparently speaking in riddles but Willie may perhaps explain at a future meeting.

You're right on the button Willie. The Gartcosh get togethers are the berries. And you're right about John. I was only in the hall 2mins and he had given me a chart on how to adjust my tuning and every so often he hits me a new pedal/lever combo. A true gent, as I find all the guys to be. Long may we continue.
I'm away to exercise my franchise. If you'll pardon the expression.

Danny, What do you mean, I've never noticed Bobs round full bottom, different strokes. Great fun isn't it.

Come back the old ways!!!

In case you wonder! You have just lost the initial 30 views on the video as I had to move it to the channel it should have been on in the first place.
The joys of Google's involvement in You Tube, when you log in now you have access to all accounts but when I uploaded this it went to a separate google page and could not be seen anywhere and certainly not as an addition to the regular uploads (meetings, ISGF etc.)

Sorted now! I hope! Glad you enjoyed it!

Well done Bob, great video, super playing, such a pleasure to see Willie, Donny, Danny, Dougie and yourself having a blast.
Yes our meetings South of the Border gives us much pleasure as you guys get up there in Scotland.
You just cannot these meetings, they help to push everyone along by the more experienced players that attend.
MAGIC. :D
