WHAT!!! No Dick Gaughan!!!

A man doing two things at once.........impossible?

Yes folks, sorry to say you have a 'Dick free' posting this time. What I aim to do though, is try and pull off  two topics in one go. Now as you well know ladies, for a man that could be quite a feat! I will give it a shot anyway. The first half of this posting is part plug and part support for a pair of guy's who enjoy folk music. When I say folk music, I mean the 'good stuff' and all power to them for sticking to their guns. They produce one of those 'pod cast' thingies, (I thought it had to do with fly fishing!). But no, it makes your computer into a wireless. What will they think of next? And if you enjoy it you can listen all over again and you cannot say that about everything now, can you? I am talking about 'Under the Mason's Apron', which can be found at, http://www.masonsapronradio.co.uk/. Introduced with both great silliness and knowledge by, Mal Tinker and 'Planxty Gramster' who have enough combined musical talent to know a good thing when they hear it and this is reflected in the show....Enjoy it! Also if you are of the 'Tweeting type', you can follow them @Masonsapronradio. And just to show I am NOT 'beardist' here we have a pic of those fine young gents.


Now here goes with the multitasking...............

At one of our executive meetings here at FTF Towers we decided what a spiffing idea it would be to do one of those 'part work' things. You know, build HMS Victory in two years at only £5.99 a week (after selling the wife and kids). But this will be free!!! (the advice will be anyway). For years now I have wanted the facility to record my 'pickings' just for the fun of it and to produce cheap gifts for my enemies! With new technologies never being cheaper and some of the software free, their has never been a better time to 'have a go'. At this early stage I will point out that this will not be of much use to the 'pro muso's' out there who, as we know take off to a studio in an exotic location. But if, like me you play the odd gig or even busk, having a CD to hand could make you a few extra bob. Now, I am not blessed in the 'dosh' department so rest assured this will be 'on a shoestring' record production and more the fun for it. So join me, starting next posting on our journey. It should be interesting!

Quick plug time. Follow this link and get an ear load of the super Louise Hamilton. A singer/songwriter of (in my opinion anyway) the highest order and well worth following. Once again it's that 'Twitter' thing, @folkcircus and www.soundcloud.com/louisehamilton, tell your friends!
