    Man, you're lucky not to be English. Being English sucks right now. On the behalf of Britain I'd like to apologise for inflicting Ed Sheeran on the rest of the world. 😢😢

      @@Peterbrendanalbert - debauchery betters blandness in my book buddy. I've got two teenage daughters too. I'm not always successful in my attempts but as best I can I try to steer them towards music that has some attitude, some soul and has something to say. Sheeran's only talent as far as I can perceive is to be inoffensive. Unfortunately music that doesn't ruffle feathers is all the rage here in the UK, hence why Ed's become successful. In England we're a million miles away from that golden era when Bowie, The Beatles and The Stones gave us something to be musically proud of.

      Didn’t hear the crickets, barely saw the eye on my little computer screen. Just heard a fine uncle speak his passion for music. …. Along the lines of England and prog, I would love to see Toyah and Robert do a show from Tom’s kitchen and Uncle Larry do one from their kitchen.

      Just wanted to express my respect and admiration of the care you are giving. Had to do the same for my departed dad and more recently the long fight with brain disease with my wife who died from a stroke this last year. Dropped everything and cared for them feeding and doing all the unsung things a caregiver does. Esther never spent one day in a nursing home. I would do it all over again no regrets about it whatsoever. Hug em while you can; the music will wait. Much respect and skoolin support to you - it’s worse than any tear jerker movie when you are living it but love prevails. Hope it gets better my friend ✝️ reach out to the skool and we will be there to support you brutha.

    That riff was sweet as honey . Of course my kids were crying when they saw your wounds so I made them leave the room after I told them uncle Larry was in a fight and won lol .Kidding aside glad you got that fixed . I was going to ask about PAFs . My memory remembers people playing a lot of twin reverbs and Fender guitars which were okay but the PAF Gibson sound had that dangerous sound . I am 10 years older than you and was there when Zeppelin and Black Sabbath were fairly new , Iron Butterfly and Creedence ,Steppenwolf ,Santana. I loved meeting guitar players and getting to play their guitars and hearing that sound . It wasn't a myth although it might not have been consistent but man that mojo was real brother .

    I feel for ya.....got battle scars from Mohs (basal) surgery many a time. Best thing you can do..... wear big hats and avoid sun whenever you can. I noticed a big decrease in my incidence of skin cancer when I went to larger hats and less sun. Keep up the channel man!
