Been to see Steve Knightley tonight. For his opening number he played a Uke. Half way through the lead was pulled out. How did you do that? Title: Re: Psychic Powers Post by: Maart on February 13, 2010, 02:50:30 AM Musicians Union and the Taste Police... :)

I suspect Simon might also feel the same :-X Title: Re: Psychic Powers Post by: Maart on February 13, 2010, 05:13:17 PM My feelings on ukes are well known. I haven't heard the FC usage so I can't comment on that. I too am glad that I'm not alone. Thank you.
