SSGW 27th JANUARY 2015

[Donny Johnston]

AND SO ANOTHER YEAR BEGINS, NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD GO THIS FAR, INTO THE 3rd YEAR. MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE WE ENJOY IT, AS MR GAMBLE SAYS " IT'S THE MOST FUN YOU CAN HAVE WITH YOUR TROUSERS ON ". I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MALCOLM MAKE A RETURN, MISS HIS HAPPY SMILING FACE . KEY OF G SAYS HE MAY MAKE A COME BACK IN JANUARY, THAT WOULD BE NICE, . I HAVE HAD A LOT PLEASURE, AND FUN. LONG MAY IT CONTINUE.
JUST A THOUGHT ABOUT TUNES, EVERYONE PICK 2 TUNES WE'VE ALREADY DONE OVER THE PAST YEAR, THIS WAY YOU HAVE 2 MONTHS TO GET IT PERFECT. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A TRACK FOR IT LET ME KNOW. HAVE A NICE CHRISTMAS AND AWERABESTFURRANEWYEAR, SEE YOU ALL JANUARY 2015. DONNY.

[Danny Mitchell]

Hope you have a pleasant and peaceful festive break Donny. Well deserved. And thanks to yourself and the rest of the 'gurus' (you know who you are) for illuminating the monthly meetings for us newbies. I would have missed out on so much, if Malcolm hadn't introduced me to the SSGW.
Great idea for the tunes.
All the best when it comes Lads.

[Reg Sutherland]

It would make my day if old Bulldog turned up at our next meeting, I miss his smiling face and his playing, so I hope Santa is listening

[Davie Holland]

Hope to be there, but in the meantime, I`ll be doing the jam session at the Opry on the 18th, and then a full blown Shooter gig on the 24th, again in the Opry.
I`ll be trying out Billy Murdochs Telonics Pre 1000 Pre-amp (which he has kindly lent me) plugged into the power amp in on my Nashville 1000 if anyone wants to come along to listen/play.

I`ve tried the Telonics in the hoose, and it kinda likes my "Tupperware" guitar, but the proof will be at the live gigs. Did I mention its a £1750 FX unit?

Maybe it has a magic button to make me sound like Paul Franklin or, or, erm maybe even like Willie Gamble? whoaaa!!!!
