    Nerdgasm!!! (Hobbit content)

    Thanks :D I hope so too, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't going to watch it!

    Nerdgasm!!! (Hobbit content)

    I'm a huge pedant when it comes to adapting books to movies, but I have to say after forcing myself through the ordeal that was reading the first Bourne book, it was a rare exception where the film was vastly better. I seriously found Ludlum's writing so dull - but to be fair I haven't read...

    Your All Time Favorite TV Series?

    Ahh Jayson, I knew you'd be digging BB :) We've kinda just recently got Netflix over here in the UK so I signed up for my free month and managed to watch all 4 seasons of Breaking Bad in that time. I've now seen the first 8 eps of season 5 and almost wish I hadn't because I'm going to go insane...

    After The Gold Rush

    The guys in my band want me to sing this song, I can find the Neil Young version everywhere, but one of the guitarists said he could imagine me singing Joni Mitchell's cover and I can't find that at all! Does anyone know where I can listen to it? Thanks :thumbsup

    Ukulele madness!

    He is absolutely a god on the uke! Although, I preferred him when he was lesser known - slightly more humble and more genuine passion in his playing...(same song for comparison)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puSkP3uym5k

    Ukulele madness!

    Ahhh! That was the first chord I learnt on guitar, just never realised it was "open" G :AOK: That Washburn is really pretty! Although perhaps pretty isn't the best word to use to describe a man's mandolin...:D Perhaps I'll amend to, what an attractive and yet manly looking mandolin you have...

    Eczema on my right hand

    My daughter has had eczema since she was a baby, about 80% of infantile eczema cases clear up and vanish, but she's stuck with it unfortunately. There is no "cure" as such, all you can do is relieve it and use hydrocortisone on parts that get infected. It's not a good idea to use it too...

    What' your favorite Hot Sauce?

    I love Patak's Chili Pickle, which is sort of a chunky relish type pickle - but for sauce I found the most amazingly hot stuff at a local farmer's market called "Hot Lurch", which is made from about 5 different types of chili including Scotch Bonnet...and no vinegar! :D

    Ukulele madness!

    That's the clip I've been looking for!!! I missed it on tv and having been (feebly) attempting to track it down :D Krash - they are lush!! Is that a mandolin there too? I absolutely take your word on the open G chord, I've just about managed to learn my basic chord shapes and look the rest up...

    Ukulele madness!

    Brilliant! I love the places musicians take this instrument, thank you I will check that out for sure :AOK

    Ukulele madness!

    Wingsdad, that is lovely!! Krash, I use a chromatic tuner - so you've just got your G, C, E and A strings and with the chords, yes, alot of the shapes are the same, such as a D shape is a G chord on the uke - but chords like C for example are completely different. C is just third fret down hold...
