Hi All Nice to see a good discussion with lots of reminisces and some good tips. Keep it going.

Hi Bob Re Rory
Did not do USA but did a European in 72/73. If my fried braincells remember rightly it was the Tele that caused the most problems AND AS FOR THE MANDOLION SHEESH . He sat the ol beat up Fender amp on a chair, pride of place centre stage. DID SOUND GOOD THOUGH. R I P

Hi Kaboombahchuck
You cannot beat the knobs, sliders and flashing lights. Except when the red ones flash.!!!! or even worse stay on.

Hi Biskitboy.
Get selling those paintings. Edinburgh is a great place with lots to do. Very good music scene if you know where to look.
Look me up if you ever decide to visit.
I will check out your music and either send pm or post comments (constructive)
