Hi Spike - excellent as usual from the team and a superb performance from Paul.

Did you use one of the standard echo patches on the TVS (one that I would have) or was it specific for this track and I assume you isolated the original BT? How do you do that?

Kind regards,

Terry

[Gary Allen]

Very authentic sound, regards Gary

Hi Gary and Terry...thanks for your comments

Les Girls is patch 8...echomatic 2 on the TVS3

Great stuff Spike, I just had a look at Paul's video on the history of Shadows echoes and really enjoyed it.
Sadly these days, Les Girls can have a very different meaning - it used to be taboo, but now it's becoming compulsory, especially on TV.

Thanks Dave... I just realised the title and it never crossed my mind.
Here in Oz we are still a bit backward in legalising Gay Marriage but it will happen eventually.
New Zealand and many other countries have gone that way.

I loved the dance scene in the movie The Young Ones. It had a great atmosphere and that solo in the tune was quite amazing.
Hank could make up these solos at a drop of a hat.
I congratulate Paul for capturing the Hank flavour of this tricky solo.

I very much like the sound of Australia Spike, we have some friends down in Adelaide who keep inviting us over, so now Joy has retired we may get there.
I agree about Paul's solo, he did a great job with it.

Hey Dave

If youre going to Adelaide, Perth is right next door.

Be great to meet you in person and get you to meet our Perth crowd.

Let me know if you can make it!

Spike

[dave robinson]

When we do come, I will try my damnedest to visit you Spike, although it looks a bit further than next door . . . . .
Still, I would be foolish to travel all that way and not make the effort, I look forward to it.

Hi Dave

South Australia is about three and a half hours flight time from Western Australia.

If you can make it...it will be great!
The weather between now and next February will be getting warmer although after yesterday you would not think it was Spring as we had a few drops of rain to say the least!

Dont know if you like the hot weather but around dec - feb can get really hot....around 40C plus with the occasional heat wave that can last for over 8 days.
However our house is "air conned" and very cool so we can have a BBQ and come back inside and wash it down with a few cold beers or reds or whatever.

Coffee follows around 3pm and a jam session is occasionally on the cards.
