Sheena, Tony and I are "normal" size. Howard is a giant!

Thanks everyone for your hospitality, generosity and ongoing banter. Sorry I haven't posted very much but the opportunity has been limited. Apart from that, why sit at a computer when you could be playing or having a few at the local with friends, eh??

Things will be back to normal next week, so I'll post some pics and also send them to those concerned.

Now..... into battle - the M5 and M3 await!

Cheers all.

Peter, it was a real pleasure having you down & hope that you'll visit us again very soon. Aitch & Peter were perfect guests & are genuinely welcome back at any time. We had a GREAT time. You're right though Peter, with all that nasty beer & wine to drink, I don't think that Graham would have enjoyed it!

Wendy does ask though Peter, that you further moderate your alcohol intake next time you are here, as with a full half pint of Guiness inside you, you were a bit of a porker & the wheelbarrow was very heavy to push.

Did you get to play any of Tony's guitars Howard especially that nice 360WB? I reckon it would have looked real nice on a stand at my place don't you think? Ah what might have been Image

We didn't really do gtr stuff Ron, as most of my gtrs are stored at the moment, since I've been refitting the studio & generally decorating. Time was so short, that we just didn't get around to it.

From the smiles on the faces in the pics posted, it seems you all had a great time even without having the obligatory jam session.

Look at the number of posts!!! Is this Aitch's US Tour, or Aitch's life story? Somehow I don't think they're the same thing!

Ron, Any luck with finding your long lost WB?

I'm looking forward to the return too, Ron. Although I would happily turn around and do it all again.... in reverse order! Sadly I doubt that the 75th would be on again, so I'll just have to survive on the memories... and what memories they are!!

I did manage to have a little noodle with Tony's 381v69-12 - lovely!

Aitch, please make sure that your next tour includes at least one or two Southern states. For example, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, etc.

When you say that you'd do it in reverse order Aitch, does that mean that you'd spend 8 weeks in the UK & 1 week in the US?

Yep. So he can spend his Last Days with me. I'm a boring old fart who's always good for a nap!

Aitch, any word on the cell phone? Juliana is waiting with bated breath.
