[STEDDIE EDDIE]

Thanks guys, and thanks for the link Bob, i must learn how to post links, actually Bob, im glad you thought it was well rehearsed, but the truth is somewhat different, i had been practicing 'The dance' another GB song all week, we arrived at Matt Molloys at 10 am, but couldnt get access till 10 30, but in that half hour, Conor said to me 'am i allowed to change my mind? we were set up for 11 am, and we ran through 'if tomorrow never comes' for the first time, but i pulled Conor up for putting in a B minor, where the correct chord is E minor, so we actually ran through the song once, before we were recorded, we did two takes, and were finished by 11 30 am, not sure who owned the Carter before me, apart from Ted, but yeah im really pleased with it, i think its a keeper, Billy, i used a very simple set up, my old battered Peavey Nashville 112, with two early nineties DOD Graphic equalisers, one to the Steel, one to the lead guitar, with a little electro harmonix memory toy nano, reverb pedal into the fx loop, the camera man made me remove the scruffy amp from camera shot, then raised his eyes up to heaven, when i opened my gig bag and produced my luminous green leads, you would understand that one Bob, the hardest part to get right was the introduction, i was told [twice] to stop looking straight at the camera, the third take i was told not to take my eyes off the presenter, the lovely Deirdre, so that was no great hardship, but the 3rd and 4th introduction takes were messed up by Deirdre, who after speaking in her lovely native tongue, suddenly said f*** and sh** as she messed her lines, 5th take went well,
