A heads-up for UK forum members that the great American guitarist Sid Jacobs is over later this week for a run of dates put together by London guitarist Tom Remon. The gigs are a mixture of guitar...
It's Brahms... Brahms fourth racket More irrelevant musings. Only replies in the style of Basil Fawlty will be tolerated on this thread.
