Try harder to be yourself...

Hi guys!

And can I say, what a hectic week it has been here in West London. Facebook crashes, have to go through six layers in total of security measures, that I have no sense of at all, but thanks to my son, I was able to do so. Why would Facebook want to know my phone number at all?

I see from the people who've added me on Google+ that some people are budding young bassists, having watched me and being interested in the whole thing of forming bands and playing music. Good luck with that, but remember to take a break now and again. Wearing a heavy Fender on your shoulder can leave permanent strain. Unfortunately I was a victim of that, but it's alright now as I don't play that often now I'm not in a band any more. Please don't try to be me. It may have tragic consequences on your mental, physical and social abilities.

Take care,
John

Throw-back Friday.

Hello once again guys!

How are you doing? I bet you're happy that the kids are going back to school next week and you can finally have time to yourself instead of being messed around all the time. Well, I am, anyway, regardless if all my children are grown up or not. Today I just did what I normally did, had a look round Facebook at who'd done what and seen what I'd been tagged in, blah blah blah. Most of those photos were old, some even in black and white from my childhood salad days, and where the heck did they get them from? Did they rob my mother's house in the dead of night?

Later on some fan tagged me in this photo. On the left, it had me with the very unflattering brown wavy hair I had back in 1975, and the right, me in 1991. To be honest, she should have done a mid point of me in 1981 with that horrible sticky up ginger afro, which now looking back, I thought was quite hideous. You should hear some of those ladies on Facebook. Teddy Deaky. Well I never! Being quite flattered at the time, I added it as my alternative name.

Okay, got to get gone now. Will be back on tomorrow with a special happy birthday post for the missus.

Take care,
John
