gsj-Sometimes your wit escapes me roll You like Monty Python...Benny Hill? big_smile

I love old houses, old buildings with intricate detail, cool architecture...thought the photo in Guitarist of Shepherds was nice.  Found this info on it, glad to see that have preserved the building, lots of great musical history there.

My complexion is turning green Ges, maybe Mars is where Rocket needs to be...Any chance you could describe the first time YOU saw Free and what it was like to your bloodstream?

Did Joe mention the first time he saw Free?! I speed read that with an implication of it being at a concert, and it's been bugging me ever since (I always have a high tonnage of tuneage info going through my eyepods always, so....was there some kind of regrouping that I never knew, or did anyone else think he might have meant Bad Company? I can get so confused sometimes with my terrible short term memory...

Rock On & Keep the Faith,
Rocket

P.S. There's no way Joe saw Paul Kossoff, so maybe he just meant "heard" them (and that's what I actually read & just screwed up)?!

I saw them live !!  smile

Re: Guitarist magazine !

The Shepherds Bush Empire could be a great venue but, in my humble opinion smile, they need to close the bars in the auditorium and 'police' the drunks that ruin the night for those that have gone to see the show. Guitar Techniques magazine.....to be honest I totally forgot to see what was going on.....I'll check it out asap.

Re: Guitarist magazine !

Today I picked up a copy of Guitar Techniques. In the "Next Month" section (for the september issue) I noticed that they will feature a Play Like Joe Bonamassa article with the subtitle "Astounding young blueser!" tongue
I guess I'll be buying next months issue (september) as well then smile
