Topic: A Filmwasters 'off-topic' board?

Agreed Francois

Not much debating to do...

Like everything, I tend to like individual bands more than individual styles. So yes, I tend to mix prog rock with synth pop and punk, a bit of blues, a bit of hard rock, a bit of jazz... odd mix for sure

Now, there's a radio show I've been listening to on and off for a while. It's called Vinyl Tap and it's hosted by Randy Bachman (yes, the guy from BTO and The Guess Who). He always plays thematic shows, tells the story behind every song he plays, funny anecdotes and stuff. He even gives guitar playing tips from time to time!
Here's the link http://www.cbc.ca/vinyltap/

One of his best shows was titled "Guitarology 101". Check July 9th 2011 in the archives. He plays about a dozen different guitars, tells the story behind them and explains why they're so unique. Probably one of his best shows.

Excellent...!! Just had a listen to some of part 1 and the guy can make those guitars sing. The website has been added to my favourites and I'll be dipping into the archive regularly. Thanks for posting this Francois.

No but I have nice collection of salad cream bottles circa 1896-1974 if you want to discuss?

Salad Bottles? 

That is ridiculous! I'll stick with my thimbles.

Thanks for the links Euge. I've had a great time listening to the prog rock special and the thought of "Thick....2" has got me in a right old tizzy.

Thimbles? Salad (Cream) Bottles? Methinks someone has stopped taking their medication....

Possibly right, Paul.  After all, in a thimbleful of ordinary garden soil you will likely find (interesting fact I came across in my lunch break) 100 million to 1 billion bacteria, several yards to several miles of fungi, several thousand protozoa, and from ten to several hundred nematodes.

And god knows what they put into salad cream.

I don't know, but I'm sure it includes protozoa.
