jdgm Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Hi to all I am feeling rather good at the moment - I am sixty years old today; born June 29, 1954. That summer the World got Elvis, the Fender Stratocaster and.....me. I spent the morning practicing and the afternoon playing my guitar; jazz duo gig at the local village fete, we played in between the brass band, the dance competition, announcements and prize givings etc. Background jazz - the best dog competition got more applause (until we played 'Baker Street') but I'm used to that sort of thing now, don't care. I've played this every year for the last 4 years now and it doubles in size every time. The duo: Must be a D7b5 chord: It's not Glastonbury but I am still extraordinarily lucky and I lead a very privileged life. Now I'm drinking a beer. Here's to as many more as I can, eh? Best wishes to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 That puts a huge smile on my face, and I'm never opposed to some guitar-straight-to-amp jammin Lemme know if you ever spill some of that beer on it and need it fixed :) Enjoy your birthday!
