Does anyone want a steel player?

[David Hartley]

Hi DG.
Thanks for the offer but they all sound too far for me.
I think the days of local bands went a long time ago.

[davegallagher]

Thats a pity David...I'd probably want to go and see the band if you were in it!

Perhaps you can dep when we're in your area sometime? Is Soham near you?

DG.

[David Hartley]

Soham is local, yes. Drop me a line on that one if it pops up.

I can remeber the same argument from musicians in the '60's and '70's and by the sound of it could be getting worse. I suppose open a club and take the profits from the bar or if enough pickers got together and put on a paid night twice a month, it might make people take an interest. I can remeber in the late '50's listening to live bands at so called night clubs, and when the band had a break they put on records. Thanks to Saville, all those clubs closed and all the youngsters listened to records and those things they called a DJ. I always thought a DJ stood for Dinner Jacket, but then that puts me in the ancient league. It's called progress!!!! backwards in my opinion.

Huh?

[Will C]

Yep, DJ = Dinner Jacket, the polite English term for what is now referred to as a "tuxedo". Yeecchhh!
