    Glad it went well. Who else was there?
    some very capable players including a chap called Douglas with a Washburn J5, Duncan with a black strat, Bill with a Warwick semi acoustic DC 4 string bass that sounded excellent and he played really nicely.

    I played first with Paul, and then with a chap called Josh (might have been Joe but I'm sure it began with Jo ...) he had a lefty Strat and a fair bit of Hendrix influence, I'm not sure my style with an ES-335 alike was the most perfect foil to his musical exploration but hey ho you play, you contribute what you can, and you learn

    Fusion!!!

    Nice one, yep they're good - the ones I know anyway. Paul's nice isn't he, and a great player. Noone else from here? MikeL didn't go?

    Mike_L didn't go, mostly cos he can't have a guitar on a strap from surgery, partly cos I'm not allowed to drive until Wednesday. However Mike is hoping to go to next week's jam.

    Over and done with, stitches out Friday, glad it's done. Hoping I can try playing weds or thurs and see how it goes. The cut is right where the strap sits.

    Must lend you the Satchurator one of these days @viz

    Mike can hold a guitar, so will be there.

    I'll be taking my Eggle New York, Mike, which is probably at least two pounds lighter than your Ibby, so you're welcome to use that.

    Or you can borrow my Jem - it's got more air than wood.

    @bigjon and @viz that's very kind to offer, thank you, I'm sure Charlene is plenty light enough to use on sunday.

    oh and does this mean viz is coming out to play?
