Chas Hodges played bass with Albert Lee in Heads Hands and Feet. Remember Warming Up The Band? But I mustn't rabbit on.

Glasgow Chapter meeting...

Scotia Bar & we could pop up stairs for the inaugural G.I.O. Pool tournament.

Anybody, Who was the wee guy on the right again?

By the by G M good shout with Hendrix last night... can I enquire, did you buy it first time around or on the release following his passing?

Was it Tony Meo? Always dressed swanky?

I am a rubbish pool player MMFC!

Aye, that's it I kept on thinkin of Tony Drago...

Don't matter Norrie its all good fun...

I play pool like snooker... covering the pockets with the spots or stripes whatever I'm on "you know what I mean" and letting the opposition knock them in and foul in the process....

damn, blast me & my... there goes my entire strategy!

The get together with the Glasgow crew aint ever going to happen is it?

MMFC - I will happily meet up for a beer! Why not we are probably only here once!

Mac

Just after he died. 6 bob with Hey Joe and All Along The Watchtower thrown in. I'd only bought LPs up to then.

Guys - I'm in Erskine just ower the watter frae Clydebank - if others turn up, I will too!

White carnations?

Rolled up newspaper under left arm.

Rio next time.

If y'all are serious about having a beer, I'm not gonna be available until Saturday, November 22nd.
But if you don't want to wait then please feel free to start without me.

Would be nice to organise something as it seems Barbara hasn't managed to get the GIO Xmas party signed off....

Maria

I am only coming if EC comes back from the North Sea ;-)

hey Maria...that would be worth a journey from Edinburgh Waverley !!! :0)

Hey Julie
I must be honest and admit that I miss EC and Adam doing their Waldorf and Statler impersonations and it wouldn't seem right to hold a gathering without them sitting in the gallery being grumpy and moaning about repetition of themes ;-)

Of course, I'd have to bring my dossier of old themes and tracks-played, to help solve any arguments ;0)

Ah yes, your famous file that everyone seems to think you have ;-) Can't wait to see it and recall happy memories of what we all requested!

It's in ma heid - to the detriment of the other stuff that's supposed to be there...like knowing what day it is, what my name is and why I went up the stairs in the first place.

I know and to your credit!! We'll look after you if you get found wandering up the Royal Mile not remembering why you are there ;-)

That is good though Julie - you may have observed there is nothing left in my heid anymore.

Apologies... works got in the way.

Glenn, same copy as my brothers then... wasn't sure if the original came in a picture cover or not BUT knew of the re-release issue via him.

Scotch, absolutely as far as I'm concerned, Norrie, Jim, Glen???

How's about the Bon Accord, first Friday Dec. say 19:00 for 19:30 or do we want to hold over till New Year???

I'm in Madmac - and I will bring a mix cd for you. There you go - how positive is that!

Nice one Norrie

Saturdays tend to suit me better. Sunday off to recover, back to work on Monday.

Having said that, I'll go along with majority opinion.

Bear in mind, December weekends in Glasgow will be crazy busy.

Would January be preferable? Or am I just getting old??

Looks like this lot have got the wrong idea about us Adam.

Grumpy old men!!!

If only they knew.

EC / Adam - never said anything like that at all, I enjoy your blogs, general chit chat and most of all yor musical suggestions....that is the point after all.

PS On matters way way more important......the norrie family pumpkin has been carved, the den is decorated, apples are in place.....this years carved pumpkin is a belter. But dont you yearn for a white sheet, a big turnip with string and a candle burning the lid. Guising the way it used to be!

And what were some of your "turns" Norrie?

What kind of turns AR? Sorry....?

Did you sing, dance or play the spoons?

OUt guising!? Being spotty telling a naff joke and looking at my feet I seem to recall. Dont think we were big on the dancing and spoon playing in Dingwall early 70's .....!! ;o)

Norrie, EC was affectionately referring to myself and Julie I think ;-)

I am with Scotchgit, maybe January would be better and give us all something to look forward to.....

Glad yer in M, the more the merrier.

Yeh Maria, one day he may meet me and realise just who the grumpy old one is he he!

Did Bryan and Barbara come to a conclusion about Thursdays theme yesterday? I'd like it to be Presidents of the USA...if only to see who can come up with the best puns and to see if anyone can find a track for Millard Filmore.

C'mon EC! Its not like you to let this carry on without your input.....Are you rising above it all this time?!

Not sure re Thursdays theme Julie, missed some of the show last night and sadly don't always get to listen again till weekend.

Cheers Madmac, will be weird to put faces to names if we manage to get the GIO Get Together arranged!! First date thing springs to mind again!!

M

Still managing to rise above it all, but must admit to being tempted to reply to some of the stuff which has been posted recently.

EC - I hope you are not caught up in the oil rig evacuation, always a worry to hear about these things!

Ah EC, always good to know you are watching over us all ;-) Come back full time, we miss you, honestly!!! Don't we Julie??

Ditto to Norries post, you were my first thought when I read the headline

Relax good people.

I was running the fife coastal path this afternoon and that's the closest I got to the North Sea.

"Evacuated" my installation on Tuesday for a well deserved three week break. (I wish)

Never good to hear about rig evacuations, here's hoping it all went well.

EC has never had a problem with evacuations, I can assure you of that.
