I think Keith Floyd was somewhat extracting the michael with his deliberate mispronounciation of Woostershire sauce ,as it is properly pronounced. I have made that sauce myself and added a few zingers in chilli form , it is great with a steak or chicken.

I'll just leave this here for Joo .... which is phonetic for Jus..... another cooking ingredient !!! Well, who knew !!??

Did they misread it and thought it was an oubreak of CORVID !!?? I'll get me coat.

Ode To A Hollow Tree A story and a true one and an original and a claim for the Thornton Rule cos this baby is well past its need for photosynthesis and chlorophyll. And JTSteam.You think "sausage" and "storage" are a contrived rhyme ??# LOL

When they were Hermes I used to call them Herpes as they lost a banjo , then to add insult to injury when they found it they returned it to me and then I lost the sale completely. A mandolin, exactly the same thing and equally almost impossible to contact. I loathe the electronic age because it...

For crying out loud. It's a yookalele....these things are supposed to be fun ! So if you don't want/need theory,you don't want or need theory. If you do , there's tons of it out there and loads of resources . Just my penn' orth ( it used to be ha'p'orth - but global inflation)

Wot The Fudge Blues SoTu 596 Improvised Blues......... I was just looking at Yukio's excellent little tutorial on the F7 chord. I dropped a note there saying that the 7th chords are also the blues chords..... then the Mischief Imp came calling . * Warning* Somehow the word fudge...

The 7ths are also the bluesy chords.

The title song of the seasons title performed by a total tit !!! I did it a little slower than the Johnny Nash version....Bari Guilele tuned back to standard cos it didn't like the tune in open G (fussy little beggar) a djembe and some E harmonica.............................. Though I forgot...

So, Canal St Blues by King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band ,recorded in 1923 and a lunatic ukilallay strummer welded over the top !!.......actually...

An original whimsy that sort of arrived as soon as I saw the seasons subject. About 2008 I bought a didgeridoo from a safari Park gift shop. Largely neglected it , got a drone going but can't do the circular breathing thing . Since the missus buggered off in sept I have been determined to have a...

Just to mess with the playlist ....LOL...oops, put that iron down JT .... What it says on the tin and in the fillum. Conclusion for me, Bari guilele open tuning A (E*A*E*A*C#*E ) warm and richly tonal., Soprano in D tuning. (a D F# B ) Sounding as it should be, a barky little terrier ...
