That would be great.

I'm hoping to have a bit of a wild Les fest. Plus I'll have the new Marshall Class 5 and Ceriatone Champ-Ultra. This date sets me a target to have my 2x12 I'm building done by then.

And maybe some "swap" stuff too. I'm keen to trade around pedals and parts.

Will there be a PA this time? Not that you want to hear me sing, just that the last two we all said we could bring one and nobody did.

Yeah I didn't quite get the idea of demo'ing amps at that volume, for me it was beyond being able to hear the quality of tone. The small combos, I liked. What was that es335 ish guitar, the first one, not the gibson, I thought it sounded really good, warm, not harsh.

Do you play a Diezel as well as the VHT? For some reason I thought you lived in Hamtron, did you move?

The 12th is also our 39th wedding anniversary.

Obviously I won't be there, so I expect a recorded version, involving everyone, of that famous 12 bar blues song: 'Rog's a Grumpy old Bastard lately and needs a Good Kicking' to be posted here - or else!!

Rocky - you're the singer, Darcy - you're the writer... make it so!
