I'm trying! There was a moccasin on my porch last night, now I'm too scared to go out!

Isn't that a kind of shoe? I've had some pretty stinky footwear, but never anything to stop me going out! But I figure, this is a shoe with a bite!
-
Yes! It's the kind that's mean, ugly, venomous, & bites.
-
Ah - Nike.

Which sort of moccasin was it?

Cottonmouth
Florida Cottonmouth, I assume. They're cute & cuddly. Was it a baby (1st pic) or an adult (2nd pic)?

Doc - I saw in an earlier post that you are a musician, a guitar player, I think. What music do you play?
-
More than just a guitarist, matey-boy. I was classically trained on guitar & piano but I also play drums, Gaelic harp, violin, double bass & harmonica. I've even been known to whack a lump of 4x2 with an iron poker to get the percussion sound I wanted.
I've got synthesisers all over the place (11 altogether including a Mini Moog & a Korg M1 - WOOOO!) & they are what I mainly use these days.
As for what I play... hmmm... just about anything, really. I've recorded all styles from death metal to J S Bach, Van Gellis-esque to Rachmaninov(ish).

*bows away in that funny Japanese kind of way when they're in the presence of greatness*
OK - I'm just learning some classical tab - do you know some nice pieces that don't tie your fingers in knots?
-
You could try some pieces from the Anna Magdelena Notebook by J S Bach. I'll see if I can find any tabs for you.
-
Have a look at some of these

Thanks. I've been playing "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" as it's recogniseable, and quite fluid. All new pieces would be highly welcome!

That's a nice piece. I like "Reverie d'un fumeur" too.

It was a baby, but there wasn't anything cute and cuddly about it. Between the snakes, bears, bobcats, and alligators, I'm ready to move to a big concrete city!
-
well carolyn, if you move to the city am i still allowed to come visit? although, with that wild life i'm not sure i want to...
-
Cities are full of sharks.

Absolutely! Don't worry about the wildlife, I seem to be the only one in my family they bother.
-

I'm not sure which is worse....sharks or the rednecks here with the small family trees...if you know what I mean!
-
i understand. i'm the only one in my family that mosquitos bother
-
LOL LOL.. They are a nuisance for sure!

Doc - I saw in an earlier post that you are a musician, a guitar player, I think. What music do you play?

You appear to have borrowed Elton John's toupé.....
-
No, it's my own. But I got my personal stylist to copy the design of 1 of Reg's as he's so cool! [:D]
-
P.S. I've played with Elton John.
erm... I think I'll re-phrase that... I've performed on stage with Elton John.
Oh gawd, that's just as bad! [:-\]

Where, how, when?
-
Oh, and morning by the way. Where is everyone else?
-
I was at Harrow County Grammar School & Reggie baby was at Pinner County - a mere 3 miles away. My school had a huge hall with a full lighting rig. At the end of the school year we used to have the "School Ents" - an entertainment show where pupils could show off their talents.
There were 3 or 4 local schools who used to get together so we could put on a better show. That particular year I'm talking about, we had on stage at the same time, Elton John, Richie Blackmore, Ian Gillan & Rick Wakeman. How much would that cost these days!

And it's good morning to you.
I think they're all being lazy.

Er, 3 bottles of vodka, and a nice cup of tea for Reg.
So, there's an obvious question. They all went on to musical greatness and wealth (as well as appearing on Grumpy Old Men every now and again). Did you not choose this path?
-
I was at Harrow County Grammar School
I went to Dr Challoners Grammar in Amersham. Know it?
-
I've heard of Dr Challoners but I don't know anything about it.
I did pursue a career in music for a while. I was pro for a few years, doing mainly session work; although I did play in a few bands too. I was actually in a New Romantic band but ssssshhhh, don't tell! [:-X]

Oh dear! Did you have the whole "rolled up sleeves of pink jacket, bouffant hair and dubious make-up" look? Did you release anything?
-
No! Never! Honest! [:I]
Released? I get released for 1 day each week. But matron has to come with me [:o)]
-
So, I'll expect to see you in the line-up of Never Mind the Buzzcocks sometime soon! C'mon - more details please! Name of the band etc etc...
-
C'mon - more details please! Name of the band etc etc...
NO! [:(!]
-
ok, ok , ok.....Just an honest question - curiosity. Not prying etc. [:-'(]
