Aw no! *BLUSH* Somebody else has seen it, don't tell our American
cousins what I wrote about there magazines!
Yeh I still think the TAB is duff, but they did mention they were
getting some new computer software to sort it out.

interview they request when my music is heard by the masses......

J, I thought the word was "naff"...now it's "duff"??
|
| 2219.3 | Nuff? Duff? Sounds like something Astro would say | CNTROL::TRICKEY | | Fri May 31 1991 10:10 | 2 |
| I thought "duff" was the bass player for Guns n' Roses. :^)
|
| 2219.4 | Close... | SHAWB1::CARRD | | Fri May 31 1991 10:23 | 5 |
| No, Duff is Steve Winwood's brother. �^)
Seriously though, I think naff means "in dubious taste" whereas duff
means something like "unserviceable".
More of a topic for the Great Britain notesfile...

| 2219.6 | How about... | CNTROL::TRICKEY | | Fri May 31 1991 17:05 | 2 |
| Naw, it's Butch Winwood (has more of an edge to it!)... ;^)

Just to add to this trivia, this is an old Berkshire UK saying often used in
conjunction with " She is up the duff" meaning pregnant !!
I feel a smile coming on knowing this is derived from the meaning
unserviceable!!!!
PS. Jason, will you still speak to me now that you're rich and famous...at the
very least you aught to respond to the NOTES files via a secretary...!!!
Just foolin ! Nice to know magazine replies are from real people and not made
up to boost sales ( reference some US mags postbags...full of bragging,
profanity, narrow mindedness, and put-downs..I'm sure they have a 10 cents
cheap dectective paperback writer on the payroll !)

| As well as Jason's letter, in this issue of the Guitar Magazine
there's a competition to win an Eric Clapton signature model Strat, and
some other bits and pieces.
Anyone know "which British rock band did a definitive version of
"Love in Vain"" ?(this is to win a Robert Johnson CD).

The Rolling Stones seems an obvious answer to me. Perhaps are they looking
for more far-fetched answers ?

| re-1
the ' stones did "love in vain".The reason I know this because I watch
Crossroads the other day and they made a reference to that.

| 2219.11 | Thanks, I bet they mean the Stones | BLKPUD::CARRD | | Tue Jun 11 1991 09:13 | 4 |
