They are very good... It is sounds fuller than my more expensive Luna Uke.

yep I have mine... a lot still searching for their class photos...

Almost... It was officially opened in May of !967 though there were some peanuts there before that date.

Thankyou :)

thanks indeed

Great memories...happy days

Fantastic...Well Done!

10 years after me... when photos were in colour :)

Thanks Ken

Loved it too...great days indeed

Many thanks Alan

Thanks for commenting...appreciated. this video is close up and fingerpicking into a Zoom Q2n 4K video recorder... some have strumming and nail brushing down stroke vibe and are further away from the camera on some so perhaps that has something to do with it. I don't know.... It didn't sound great when i purchased it but after a year of hanging up on the wall while I played electric through amps it opened up a bit. I like how it sounds now. I think I used the Zoom Q2n for all of the recordings. hope that helps somewhat...kind regards

@ajlmirrormist Thank you so much that was very helpful Sir, I love your playing!! I decided to go for an Eastman instead. All solid wood and great tone

Thanks for taking a listen... appreciated. Life is full of Peaks and Troughs... No matter how deep a trough may seem believe you will always rise out of it. may your peaks be long. Best Wishes.

​@@ajlmirrormistThe artist himself, I really appreciate your words! Thank you.

I believe there was an X class between September and December 1979 as well.

I was k class must’ve been there when I was great times dorm raids and the p/nut scrubbers.. still at sea chief cook with the RFA only a few trips left 👍👨‍🍳

A vintage year :) you left just before I started.

Thankyou

thankyou

Thank You CharlyP

I recall waiting for weeks for passengers to arrive on my first trip and with plenty of time to be bored I wanted to be with my mates...rang dad and he said "You'll be fine once you set sail"...and like your dad he was right.

Well done! 1969 was a good year... the first time I sailed around the world.

@@ajlmirrormist i was there in 69 joined the day of the moon landings or not

I’m chief cook on RFA been there since the 90s

Thanks Paul

Thankyou

Thanks indeed...appreciated

I wasn't pleased with it initially but after a year of playing and hanging on the wall as I played electric through amps it opened up nicely. I don't have a Taylor but have a Crafter 32nd anniversary based on them.

@@ajlmirrormist Nice

I normally write over winter but life is what happens when you are busy making other plans as JL once said. I have tunes but not used them as yet. I like what you do with your covers. Maybe :) thanks indeed.

@@ajlmirrormist I'm not much of a writer as I've made a career playing in bars where people want to hear what they know and how they know it, but KZbin has allowed me to sorta make covers a little bit of my own, or at least try too. Actually at this moment I'm working on an original I wrote a few months ago and I'm finally getting around to recording it. I have it arranged how I want it and now I'm recording the piano, drums, bass, and guitar and I'm leaving an open spot for a lead break but I havent decided on whether I'll play the lead on piano or guitar. It's called Wild Roses and I hope to have it done by morning so I can upload it tomorrow. Its a little more pressure when it's an original I think, especially when you are putting it out there to be judged, so my fingers are crossed it turns out to be half decent.

Well done Grandad Albie for inspiring your grandson... Oronsay was a beautiful lady.

A great adventure...a birthday treat indeed!

Thanks indeed... I can't believe i'm the same age as old people :)

Thanks indeed...regards

Thanks for the listen and your comment...it's a great song for sure... I missed Pixies first time around (my lost decade) regards

Thanks for the listen...regards

Thanks for the listen and your comment...regards

Thanks...just watched your video instrument build project banjo neck to mandolin... (Hofner short scale bass case...I think)...

Thank you matey. Yes, I think you are spot on about the Hofner Bass. I'll share updates as I work on the build. Be well, cheers!@@ajlmirrormist

Thanks again

I still use it today... found a place in Germany that sells the correct foam surround but unfortunately the website was highlighted as a potential risk. Thanks for taking a look and commenting... regards

first cut was 8 years earlier kzbin.info/www/bejne/moHKoYKrg9mmnqssi=jH8JUNLVsP9yBeVh this is the second cut so to speak... someone mentioned it in a previous thread on my version of Where is my mind, so I re recorded it because the earlier version was just audio... thanks again for taking a look and for your comments...kind regards regards

Thanks for the listen...regards

Remember feeling hungry all the time too... I recall joining my ship and having to wait weeks for passengers... I was bored silly and felt the same as you about jacking it, thinking about what I'd be doing with my mates... Glad I stuck it out too... once sailing was under way, even being as sick as as dog in the Bay of Biscay didn't put me off :)

Aye, big culture shock on joining, but same here, had my Dad to thank for talking me in to staying. Liked the place on leaving the school. Forever miss my days at sea.

Luna make some pretty guitars for sure....Thanks for the listen

Yes that would have been the original Sea School at Gravesend back in 61... The new school was built in 66 and officially opened in 67 so was almost new when I was there in 68. You Vindi Boys had it a lot tougher by all accounts. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks indeed...regards
