Bloody hell Mike, who knew? :-o

That makes me and my guitar playing sound like the equivalent of an asthmatic with a collapsed lung playing a plastic harmonica. %-(

^:)^ ^:)^ ^:)^

HAAAR! theres power in them parsnips yknow

tbh mate its the only thing I can do reasonably well but its never earnt me any dosh and I'm still only at hobby level. Taken me a lifetime to get that far and I feel sick when I see youngsters who just blow me into the weeds. So I just play for my own amusement and anyone who fancies a listen.

I'm nowhere near as good as you though Mike.

I can do a bit of fingerpicking but only self taught. Im more of a strummer.

Having fun with my new camera (surprised I can still get credit? so was I \:D/ )

Had a pentax K50 for what seemed a very short time before it needed a blummin expensive repair ( going on ebay soon as a basket case) it was a nice camera, got it for work and videos really weren't its thing anyway.

So replaced it with a Panasonic ( did they used to be National panasonic?) Lumix TZ100. Not the same animal at all but it seems pretty good for its size and I'm still at the point and shoot stage. (will put an image up if I can find a non-copyrighted one) Best thing is it seems to video pretty well and it has an app which means you can operate it remotely by its own wifi when recording vids so I can set the camera up on the tripod and fine tune the camera position with my ipad right next to me just out of shot. this means I don't have to keep putting the guitar down and peering round the back of the lens giving everyone a close up of my gut while stopping and starting all the time ( I do a lot of that believe me).

I have it on good authority that parts are very reasonable should you need a repair - compared to other well known makes

So far I'm just using the camera mic until I have time to learn number 1 son's instructions for logic, and it is better than I thought it would be.

Here's another of my tunes wot I rote
