Then I shall do likewise ; and the open mic night can evolve from a series of regular noise complaints to local police...

Re: Zurich Mid-Week Drinks @ Talacker Bar

Right, the weather forecast isn't great for Wednesday, so instead of going home, sitting on the sofa and staring at the telly in Hibernal Gloom, why not come down and hang out with the Beautiful People? (that includes you )

Re: Zurich Mid-Week Drinks @ Talacker Bar

Ukeleles are becoming very popular, so I was told when I was in the "Duke of Uke" shop last week in London. I think Id prefer a mandoline. Even thats a bit extreme. Not many Rock Gods play mandoline that arent of Constant Sorrow, anyway...

Well, do you ever get the feeling that the story's
Too damn real and in the present tense?
Or that everybodys on the stage,
and it seems like You're the only person sitting in the audience?
Skating away on the thin ice of the new day

Re: Zurich Mid-Week Drinks @ Talacker Bar

Amazing playing, and a rich sound coming from a such a tiny instrument. The strumming in between the melody was impressive too. Hers some more Uke action. Bring some friends for a bit of Morricone.
