Ok Folks - It's Flared Trousers And Cuban Heels Time!

Just recreating one of the tunes I used to play in a Memphis Soul style band - back in the days when...

Remember the mirrored, revolving ball in the middle of the dance floor ceiling?

Now your taking me back to my early biking years. Oh that lane called memory! :)

[clockboy]

Nice Will & it brings back lots of good & funny memories for me to. Looking for a house some 35 years ago and went to a house & they had the revolving ball in the lounge a bar & full frontal nude pictures of themselves on the walls. Strange but true.

I don't recall you coming round to my place...

I remember my room covered with center PlayBoy pages! That was a long trip down memory lane! Thanks Will.

Thinking about it there was a couple of guitars in the corner. Well I never !!!!  :D

You have a real gift......plus no doubt hours and hours of practice

[Gotwatch]

Necely done, Will. You look very mellow in that vid. Brings back memories for sure, :)

[Maurice]

Really nice Will, well done!

[autowind]

Brilliant.

[Mark]

That put a smile on my face Will.

More than it did to his! :)

It's such a precise piece to play - no mucking about with improvisation and stuff like that - so that full concentration is essential. While I'm staring gormlessly into space with a bored expression, I'm actually concentrating closely on the organ track and drum breaks so that I play exactly the right bit at the right time. When you're doing this live with other musicians - as I used to - there are all sorts of visual cues and nods to indicate what goes where, so it's much easier live - and I can risk a smile or two. All I have to guide me visually in a solo recording is a set of .WAV files tracking across the screen!

 

As many of us know, we musos must suffer for our art...

Hey Will, Give Classical Gas a try. I know you've done it, all guitarists have. This is a good one too:

 

[clockboy]

Very good, One of the classics  that make you wish you could play the guitar. Sadly not me.

I try, but my pals say I'm just an old plucker! :(

I think that was what they said?
