Cheers MT,
Like my recent post on cleaning files,I reckon that this is something that could crop up in a discussion between mates ... in a Pub.

G'day friends, We watched the film Munich last night.This is the sad story of the Israeli athletes' massacre at the 1972 Olympics... and the subsequent tracking down of the perpetrators by the Israeli secret service,Mossad ? .. I thought a book on this subject would make for interesting reading. Has...

They restored pretty well.

Regards from OZ ... Charlie.

Thanks Folks for your input ...
Are there 'special' capos for Apalachin Dulcimers Bill ? ..

G'day Friends. My friend Alana has an Apalachin Dulcimer and we play Irish tunes together with myself playing Flute.. She tunes it to D .. First string D ,second A and third D. Seeing as there's many Irish Tunes in the key of G,she's tried to tune down to G and was met a 'flubbery' sound with string...

Most enjoyable film clip of an artist at work and what a fine workshop with some fine 'toys'..

As usual.... to lose some weight ..

Really nice Tune Kenny.. I'd love to be sitting next to you and listen to you playing it :thumbsup: . What a perfect way to present these beautiful tunes.. just Whistle and Guitar.. (even if the Musicians were surrounded by Marshall amps :) ... May I be permitted a wee thread hijack ? Scottish in co...

Down here it's Gah-rarge Classy individuals,like,ahem,myself,call them sheds .. That's when the car is left outside in the street and the good stuff is kept in the shed !
