Oh Thank God!!!!

I was beginning to think i'd dreamt the whole phone call!!

That's brilliant news

 

 

No - your post and details of the phone call gave me the will to keep trying! Thank you.

BTW I told Roag about the website and email not working and he does know about it and is quite cross.  Apparently the company they deal with have changed servers and  are dragging their feet getting everythnig working again.  He's had a good whinge to them as he quite rightly pointed out that they are losing busniess over it.

Congrats! Do let us know how it goes - I've been interested in going for a while.

I asked him if I could take photos and he said "Yes, after the tour, but no videos". That's fine by me. Best make sure the battery is well charged up.

I've just spoken to Neil Aspinall's son, Roag. I'm booked in for a tour at the beginning of August. Bloody hell, I feel like a little kid again

Anyway, sorry for going off-topic. Where were we? Oh yes, Sam Leach's book.

Well I'm still off on my tangent. No one will answer the bloody phone at the Casbah still.......

The tuning is different on a ukulele - the standard tuning is CGEA, meaning guitarists who switch have to learn a whole new set of chords. I like it because I have to think more about what I'm playing, as opposed to the guitar with which I tend to revert to the same chord patterns etc. I find it's useful to switch instruments now and then and play something unfamiliar to keep things fresh.

The guitar has the Beatles names written on it, perhaps it was given to them as a present.

By the way, no offence to any ukulele players, but what's the different between a uke and a toy guitar? Is it just the quality?

On a side note, PaulRamon (or anyone else) - where does your avatar pic come from? I don't think I've seen another pic of John, or any other Beatle, playing the ukulele.

(I know Paul and George did after the split; I mean the Beatles years)

All i did was go into google images, typed John Lennon in and it is on the first page. Thats as technical as i get!

Isn't it a toy guitar?

When i spoke to them i told them the website was dodgy and it was hard to get in touch with them and she seemed surprised. How frustrating, keep trying, i'm sure you'll get there in the end

Still trying - still no luck!
