Ahem. I don't quite get it. Do you mean the bass/lead player has four hands - that's the issue?!
Actually, the two guys i suggested, albeit they are quite young punks (35 and 32), are both from El Cerrito, Bay area, CA, and unlike yours truly, they can speak English, so i though Aitch might give them a lift... but if you say no, then no. I wouldn't want to spoil your party. Image
Okay, then. I won't punish you. If you promise to be good boys, of course. Image
Oh yeah. Good news for you two. Yoko agreed to be the lead singer & to write a song for this special occasion.

Anthony, the stay in Toronto was booked with bathrooms specifically in mind. I made sure they were 100% tile and very large.

Good reverb, you know.

Yoko agreed to what, Sheena??? Do we really want her muscling in, Brian? I've heard she's bad for business.........

Nothing but the best acoustics, eh Dean?

It's OK, Tony.... I'll have had all my bathroom fixes long before I arrive at Teignmouth. Consider yours safe! Unless you ply me with all those Pommie beers, of course...... Image

Eh. Since Brian asked to call Yoko, i thought you wanted to jam with her, so... I only had good intentions, believe me. Image
She's even wrote a new song for ya, and it's really something! Ehm. I do mean that. It's something.

So how's it going over there Howard, have you feet hit the ground yet?

Have you had time to set up an email account yet I'm looking forward to here about your exploits and don't want to bore the folks here with our general chit chat.

Howard, Paul lives in the US outback. Actually deer is as common as squirrels here. Image

Over our way they are either in zoos or bred for meat. They sure as heck don't wander the streets!

Now kangaroos, emus and koalas..... they're a different story. You're likely to have a drugged out koala fall out of a tree and land right on your head!

Oops! Of course you're right, Jeff. I forgot what they are called over here. Image

I was kind of surprised the other night when I discovered that the Outback Steakhouse didn't have any bunyip on the menu. Lovely when braised with red wine, garlic and onion with lots of black pepper. And lashings of garlic mashed potatoes on the side. Mmmmmmm............

Anyhow, it's all academic now. Paul hasn't come home yet and the venison is all gone....... bbrrppppp!!
