1095.0. "Directory of UK Guitarists" by SUBURB::DALLISON (March 30th-Lock up your girls!) Tue Jan 24 1989 06:27

            
    I would like to know how many British guitarists there are out there.
            
    The reason why I ask is that I am trying to rally around sufficient
    interest to organise a UK DECjam.

    P.S. Hello Richard. You never mentioned the guitar - we could have
    swapped some tunes when we met !!

    Rihard, is your six string the Washburn D20? Was it you I noted
    with a few weeks ago about it.
    
    Anyway, I change my mind with the weather - I'm probably going to
    buy one of the cheaper Ovations. Is your acoustic amplified?
    
    I can also offer bass playing services, and play keys and drums
    also, as well as singing. My main problem here is remembering lyrics,
    tho' - but I'm fine on backing and harmony vox.
    
    I'll ask around here at Welwyn, we have various musicians here -
    at least one other guitarist, a trumpeter, a clarinettist, and a
    bass player. Also I think one or two FS engineers dabble in keyboards,
    synths, drum machines and stuff
    
    I'd love to see it happen......

1095.6Read Only NoterRDGENG::KEDMUNDSBut I haven't got an fm2r...Thu Jan 26 1989 04:056
    I s'pose I should own up. Proud owner of new (well, "pre-owned"
    - 1 year old) Strat: all I have to do is learn to play it better!
    I'm very keen on Eagles-type music (Richard: we never did do that
    evening of playing, did we?).
