Bert Jansch met me once. We spoke at length about music stuff for.... oh id say at least a few seconds, before he realised and said he thought I was someone else. He fuct off just when I was about to ask him to join my blue-grass section.



Oh well Bert, if you're reading this - nae luck for you sunshine.

As a matter of fact, the compliment I am most proud of was after a gig at the Bedford Arms in Balham. Antonio Forcione (Italian virtuoso guitarist) volunteered that I had 'a lovely touch' on the guitar. :0)

So, my mom bought me music lessons from this guy who's got this aunt who has a son and his exwifes' third husband was in the army and he flew in the same plane with ELVIS! So it's no wonder I'm so amazingly talented with that kind of musical background and all. So CMO at my new site my mom bought me, hppt;//www.mymommy.com/canwhoopyourmommy/mommybuysmemoreguitars/ mommygetsmygigs. See my podcast direct from my moms kitchen. BYOB! I'll be playing my new song I wrote by John Denver, "Leaning on a Jet Plane"

Not strictly music but I did have a chat with the late great Emlyn Hughes (ex-England soccer captain);



He asked me for directions in Hull, I never liked him so sent him completely in the wrong direction. 10 minutes later I saw him drive past, this time going teh <myspace><myspace>right</myspace></myspace&g t; way, he didn't s<myspace><myspace>top</myspace></myspace&g t; for another chat, so I was <myspace><myspace>right</myspace></myspace&g t; not to like him.
