this year's nautical experiences included an unholy row between an incompetent Spanish sailor being called, and I quote, "you are a fucking idiota" by a particularly hefty German as the two collided at the harbour entrance. Guess who was in the middle?

Decided to dance on a slippery table one night after way too much vino tinto and fell off into a group of very sporting Italians who had the good grace to see the funny side of it.

Disappointment in that "Le Crunch" has gone to ground, however, the above more than made up for it.

Anyway, good to be back and hope all is well with everyone? Cheers me dears.

I hope the studio is doing well, must confess I havent danced on a table for a while, but the story did bring to mind an incident of a particularly not very with it singer I backed one night at the 12 bar club in London, who fell into a table of tourists taking photos of him, I kept out of it and carried on playing before driving him home:whistle:

thanks Martin. Studio equipment instalation will be finished by next weekend...almost there! Pro tools, Apple Mac, tube mics and all the toys. Plus ideas and new songs bouncing off the wall...I'm beginning to get a bit excited!!!!!!!!!!!

I am in the North of UK, sept and oct, mail me and it would be cool to hook up and do some work.

will do Martin.

Welcome back, any good Euro tunes to report?

I did keep my ears peeled, but nothing of any consequence. Thanks for the welcome back.
