Bill
Have you got a copy of this?
I have and we were there but there were so many piano names there/
Would you like a photo copy?
bw Vernon

I cant get on the Retailers Forum at the mo for some technical reason I'm afraid

[Bill Kibby]

Thanks, it sounds interesting, but a message purely aimed at me is surely not appropriate material for the forum?

I can't think what 1778 had to do with anything? What was it the bi-centenary of?

[vernonk]

Should have read 1728.
Do you want a copy or not?
My forum connection has gone haywire hence this method of connection.

[Bill Kibby]

It's a shame we can't write a tone of voice, I was rather winding you up Vernon!

Yes, I would love to have a copy.

Not sure, but you seem to be saying you can't get on the forum so you are using the forum instead?

But you can (wink). It's called a smiley......

Vernon couldn't seem to access the trade section for some reason - eyes too close together? He emued me for help (stop laughing, Bill!) and I was of no technical use to him, I'm afraid. I had hoped a grownup might have been able to help.

[Bill Kibby]

Don't know any.

[vernon]

I seem to be back on now.
The Broadwoods 250 year Dinner invite lists all the guests- many of whom I didn't know of course, but what a trip down memory lane reading it now.. We were only invited because sold lots of the beautiful late Broadwoods in the 70s.

Gill the Piano

Listen missus I got Georgie Fame's autograph so there

[Gill the Piano]

I tuned for him! But I never met him...

[Bill Kibby]

I was recently invited by my friend Steve to a Bill Wyman concert where Steve's brother Frank Mead played sax. There I was in a room with Georgie Fame and the amazing Albert lee, when Steve (one of my greatest fans) said "Bill plays guitar, and he plays piano as well" - I wanted to crawl away and hide as Albert said "So do I".

Georgie Fame bursts into incontrollable laughter every time Bill Wyman plays a wrong note... a lot of laughs.
