At 8:44am on November 17, 2011, Uncle John said…: Jon, I never did learn to play Bad To The Bone worth a tiny crap! But with your help on it and effort, it helped me learn to play that style and gave me some other songs that work. Thanks!

www.readysteadygone.co.uk/club-agogo-newcastle/ the list of musicians and bands that played at the gogo in the late sixties is mind boggling

P.S. pick me up along the way

At 10:23am on October 10, 2011, Sammy Lloyd said…: you are very kind Jon, I've been foolin around with the ukulele for a little while after failing badly with the guitar, sadly my fingers are just so stiff ha ha. I guess that's why I love the Uke, it's a fun instrument to play sing a long tunes with. By the way, there is so much information about how to play it, give it a shot Jon you'll love it.
