You can join Mick Wilson in an acoustic jam held every Tuesday night at the Durham Ox, Cromford Road, Langley Mill, Notts.
If you can manage to negotiate various members of EVANS lying prostrate in the car park, you're more than welcome to come and join in. There's also the possibility of meeting some of your 'guitar gods' and other assorted music idols from many infamous local bands, any of whom would be only too willing to accept a drink from you!
What is it about guitarists/bassists...............????
In a recent study, dog owners of various occupations were asked to bring their dogs to the lab for a research project. Each animal was placed in a room full of bones and scientists monitored their behaviour. The first dog belonged to an architect. When led into the room the dog immediately began arranging the bones into what appeared to be a blueprint. The next dog belonged to a carpenter. This dog chomped the bones into various sizes and built a small structure. The last dog belonged to a guitarist. It showed up three hours late, screwed the other two dogs, shit on the floor and left.

A guitarist goes to the doctor and complains about a serious deterioriation of his memory. He especially has a hard time remembering chord changes and is afraid he'll lose all his gigs. Since the doctor can't find the cause, he asks the guitarist to leave behind his brain for a week in his lab for more detailed examinations. After seven days the guitarist fails to show up, and even after 2 more weeks there's no sign of him. Finally the doctor sees into him in the street, grabs him and asks, "Excuse me, but your brain's still waiting for you to collect, so why don't you show up?" The guitarist says, "Well, I think you can keep it, I've switched to bass..."

A dad gives his son an electric bass for his 15th birthday, along with a coupon for four bass lessons. When the son returns from his first lesson, the father asks, "So, what did you learn?" "Well, I learned the first five notes on the E string." Next week, after the second lesson, the father again asks about the progress, and the son replies, "This time I learned the first five notes on the A string." One week later, the son comes home far later than expected, smelling of cigarettes and beer. So the father asks, "Hey, what happened in today's lesson?" "Dad, I'm sorry, I couldn't make it to my lesson" the son says, "I had a gig!"
