Here is a post!

 

Those were the days!

I wouldn't be holding my breath for posts from the two old boys today. Hey, don't forget that Peter told us all about his Mickey Mouse watch yesterday and Rob often withdraws all his posts.

I did half an hour on both my instruments (violin, double bass) yesterday. That's 'not too bad' considering that I've been a bit off colour. I have to take both my instruments to a practice with Art Ghetto on Monday. This will be the first time that I've put a double bass in the Nissan Note.

No, I won't put it in through the back.

I'll drop back the front passenger seat and feed it in, endpin first, through the front left hand door. The scroll will be the closest thing to the bonnet. Don't worry, the bass will wear a seatbelt. 

Art Ghetto is a band that I used to play with. It plays quite a bit of Spanish style music. I guess that the two gigs will be a bit of a reunion.

I read somewhere that the guy Luke, who wrote some of the bible, played the uke.

I didn't know that they had ukuleles back then, but the bible doesn't lie. Luke himself wrote about it.

Luke 3:7 "At the Last Supper Jesus wanted a ukelele player to give a bit of atmosphere. I volunteered to bring mine. I played two sets of about 40 minutes each. Halfway through, Matthias suggested some tunes that he thought would go down well, but I ignored his suggestions. I stuck with tunes like 'Get those commandments, Moses!', 'Don't be cross with the cross', and 'Merry Mary.' These were all popular tunes at that time. I think the music worked well."

Well, that's it from me for this morning.

Remember that the ABs are playing Wales this weekend. Hey, they might even win this one.

Ciao.
