No correct answer yet to the Albert Lee question.

Hah yeah - my computer is so old, he kinda stutters along - looks a bit drunk to me !!

Had to put the Lava lamp away but I do have one of those Plasma Balls (no not a new guitar) on my computer desk.

Wonder how many members are on line?

hey norm - 1&5 are the year but in 70-75 there were 3 naming conventions (I think, been a while) and 2 plants so it's a bit of a guess....

When i was a kid I worked in a music store in Edinburgh, we had famous customers, mike oldfield, ritchie blackmore, Billy Connolly - they had an old book called "Guitar identification" - the author - and this is the truth - Randy Phucner, the cover was changed in magic marker, but it's my 1st ever guitar memory.

I sure miss simpsons of stafford street, Hey spud, what are all these DVD's stuffed down the sofa, I asked you for these back ages ago......
