Mover777: He sure had a natural affinity for the bass guitar - fretless, no less - good job teaching him, Mr. Fripp.
Lucy: Debz where are you from as I know so many Debs lol
simon kirke: the guy learning the chords suffered!
KossLady: skyegirl - itīs a designed pda that also gets on the internet via cell towers
skyegirl: I had a friend I used to work with same thing happened to. Its a good way for the person, but a shock for everyone else.
juliepie: he took to the bass like a duck to water!
simon kirke: went w mick to his funeral in scotland

KossLady: but i dont have it yet - have to work out the calling plans and such
simon kirke: saw mel at the funeral
BADCOGIRL: speaking of boz the pix i sent you of guiter i have with all of your signitrs was that his guitar?
Mover777: I heard Alvin Lee attended - true?
Lucy: Hello Sweet Deb sorry I just wasn't sure :-)
