Been jamming on this tune for a while now and still can't find a niche. I guess it doesn't matter too much so I'll just send you the best sounding noise I produce.

Thanks Robbo Matey 1st one finished! You'll have a bit of a wait but what I do is release them all on the same day so we all hear everyones take at the same time. In the meantime.... hop onto one of the jams for something that gives a bit more of an instant gratification! Look out for Zombo's jam on the 1st of each month and I'll be posting a blues jam soon....

Thanks for having a bash at it.

you got until the 10th Kirk, but you have to play with one hand behind your back and you can only use one finger of your free hand, and you cant use a pick, and err well thats it.

Only Joking mate looking forward to it :-)

Froglegs is my son actually. We went to the beach one day and my wife made me dangle him over the water so his feet could get wet. He did'nt like it and I can't blame him. The water is freezing around here.

Got lots of entries I see. Newcomers as well.

Mines on its way too, hope nobody minds that I stole part of another famous tune and added it into the mix, but it just came into my head while I was playing.
