No more AI, I'm using C G D A.

 Actually, I'm not that happy with the A string, and the very low C takes a bit of practice to sound correctly. The A string sounds scratchy.

Hey, this has nothing to do with what TC does when he first gets out of bed. Though he did once say, "Why do women rub their eyes when they wake up? Because they haven't got balls to scratch."

Anyway, back to the bass tuned in 5ths.

Oops, that's the view from where we stayed last night. I think she might have been looking after us because, at 1.30am, a fire alarm went off in our room. I went outside and checked the building, but everything seemed okay. I did decide to stay awake until 4am, just to keep an eye on things. It didn't seem like a good idea for me and 'the real boss' to both be asleep, just in case. We survived.

The funeral gig was 'interesting'. I played for 35 minutes at the start. The last tune was 'O Mio Babbino Caro'. At the finish evidently only a five-year-old boy showed any enthusiasm. The MC said, "At least little Frank liked it." That's not a pat on the back, in case you're wondering. I thought to myself, "La mamma degli imbecilli è sempre incinta." They were posting the whole ceremony online, but whoever was doing the tech work was an idiot and my playing was all mumbled up and distorted. After the ceremony I didn't even get a single thank you. 

On a happier note, the Bob is tuned in fifths -
C  G  D  A.

Okay, I know you want to hear it. Just remember that I've had very little practice on these strings. Listen out for the last note (deep C).

Peter will think I meant 'deep sea'. Never mind.

That's it.

Ciao tutti.
