Pete and myself wandered off to the big city, to see a favourite guitar player of mine, Paul Gilbert on 14th November. After witnessing Pete eat more sausage at breakneck speed (see earlier post ‘Happy Birthday Reuben’), we went off to the Astoria2. This is wholeheartedly my kind of thing and I found it a real treat. Paul is what was commonly known back in the eighties as a ‘guitar shredder’! Much naffness is associated with such things but the guy is so down-to-earth (he openly ridicules himself (not in the Andy Brice or Steve Finch sense)) that I can take it. It was a very welcome tonic to the humdrum. Thanks for coming with me Peter (and playing Dad). Have you got the other bass drum ‘coupled’ up yet?
