Here in this tiny, rural Suffolk village I plough a lonely furrow, I've only got one guitar playing 'mate' and he tells such enormous porkies that I can only tolerate him occasionally......and recently, not at all.
If any of you feel like hearing a really nutty story, one day I'll recount how this chap tells me that he's a mate of Hank and that he regularly visited his farm shop (honestly!) and confided various playing tips. I should have just laughed at him straight away, but out of politeness I didn't. From then on they just became more and more bizarre & far-fetched and it had by then gone too far for me to dispute them without causing a scene.
Believe me, it's nuts in these little villages. If it wasn't for my wife, I'd have lost my sanity (and the will to live around here!) years ago.

Hi Stephen,
I like your story, i've got 1 similar.....
I had a mate, who's sadly passed away now, Andy Martell who used to go about in the pubs and clubs singing Elvis and Rock n Roll songs. He used to have a bloke drive him to and from gigs, who had a photo of Elvis' gravestone, which had Elvis' signature on the back of it. This bloke claims it was a genuine signature.......Now you work that 1 out?????
