Pat Mike and myself, not taking it too seriously and me acting the fool as per usual (as is my BAD intonation .. The head wasn't so good that day)
On YouTube Here :-
Hi BAZ...First time I have ever seen you in action....very impressive. These ancient ears tell me your intonation is right on, so no apologies required. I was especially impressed with WITCHCRAFT .... you did a great job on that tune. I was unaware of your ability to vocalize....not bad at all ! As they probably say in England, "carry on old chap!" but over here, "Hey man, cool stuff!"
Oh, I might mention here, the song is titled "MY TANI" (no 'h'). Tahitian: 'My Man'. HO'OPI'I is quite easy to pronounce...try this: "HO - O - PEE - EE"...see? now, wasn't that easy ? His name has always been pronounced that way. It was mainlanders who, years ago, threw in the 'hula HOOp' ha!

Thanks Keoki, but the pedal on my 3rd string was slow returning and slightly put me off, but No excuses, I SHOULD have sorted it before playing. just too busy with other things like intravenous coffee etc..
(Well the amount consumed might as well have been administered that way)
As for the Singing? Pat isn't one of my fans ! I only do it when requested, and I'm only requested when someone in the gathering wants to tape the words of an unknown (To Them) song.
I know there's chat and wrong notes, bad tuning and the likes, BUT, warts and all, that's us !!
Having said that, you really SHOULD hear us when we are taking it seriously.
I PROMISE to post some of the more serious playing by us as soon as Pat and Mike can stop laughing !!
There IS A Spanish Guitar one by us to come on YouTube later today.
"As for the Singing? Pat isn't one of my fans ! I only do it when requested, and I'm only requested when someone in the gathering wants to tape the words of an unknown (To Them) song".
Speaking of "requests", I often receive requests when I perform, but I stay anyway !
I enjoyed listening to your tunes, played on your Fender 1000 psg. "Midnight In Amarillo" has always been one of my favorites.
Please refresh our memory on the tunings you have on the upper & lower necks of your guitar.
Lee, thanks, Pat's guitar is a Hofner Jazzica Custom, one of two that she has, I bought her the second one for a Christmas present as she didn't like flying with her "Best One"
BTW Just in case somebody asks, her amp is an AER Compact 60 Mk II and mine is a Peavey Nashville 112 and Foxed up Profex.
You're always one of my very favorites, Bas, and that Fender sounds wonderful. And Pat's playing is right on. I really couldn't hear Mike very well, but if he had messed up I probably would have so he must have done well.

It shouldn't be too difficult to take the video from one camera and the sound from the other. They do it all the time in the movie studios. Lip-sync isn't the problem it used to be during the old 16mm days.
I hear what your saying Alan, but I thought I'd leave any videos I posted "Untouched and Virgin"
There has been a proliference lately of "Tarted up" ones and I wanted to absent myself from that school !!
With all of the tuning discrepancies and the "off the cuff" banter, Methinks It's more personal !
Well my Peavey Nashville 112 arrived a few days ago. After due consideration I've concluded that it must be something other than the amplifier which makes you sound so well.

Do you mean Pat Jones or did Pat Jones marry a Smith recently? I don't recall hearing of any marriage.
They still have time to make it to the HSGA Joliet Convention.

Why don't you bring both Pat's - your wife and the Pat Smith from Brecon Beacon.
