I may be waiting for the GP, just that now we're at the mother in laws in the UK, I may have to "watch it" on the timing pages from the official website, and imagine!!! Off to the Knoffler site!!

I was "watching" the timing pages on line, the mother in law is really watching Gregory Peck dressed as a sailor! In summary, didn't see the race I always liked Knoffler, he says he can still remember what a Fender catologue smells like! "Some scoundrel has taken the cork for my lunch" W.C Fields    Report

However, Alonso has that spark of genius, to me, so like McClaren, Fittipaldi, Rindt, Petterson, Lauda, etc. Knopfler: what can I say? The Governor. The only man who the late Chet Atkins asked to cut an album with! Of course, unlike Clapton who uses a pick, Knopfler fingerpicks and can also create all the sliding harmonics, just like Atkins.

Cevert, Depaillier, Stewart, etc, I like motor RACING! Fortunately we have a superb kart track in Bergerac, and a better when near Agen!! And again your so right, I once sat opposite Wilko Johnson, who I had always been told was, "an average guitarist". He played three guitar parts all at once. So well I was looking around the room to see where the others were. Didn't pick up a guitar for months! "Some scoundrel has taken the cork for my lunch" W.C Fields    Report

Watched him pedal the Lotus 30 Group 7 "Big Banger" sports- racer round Brand's Grand prix circuit on its maiden outing, for example. A typical "Chunky" effort, every time Clark approached Clearways and braked, a front locked and it span: travelling backwards in the region of 130 mph, Jim just merely said "Och!", flicked the car through 180 degrees and continued on his merry way. Lap after lap. Fantastic days. And yes, it is a real pleasure to see and hear a master guitarist at work. But, as you again say, makes you want to give up for ever.............. In 1977, during the Queen's Silver Jubileee, I watched a fantastic programme about the Spanish pilgrims en route to Santiago de Compostela  which was narrated by Paco Pena; who of course kept playing flamenco guitar around the campfire each evening: and that made me want to give up, too. At least I can counter-clap!   "Yes, but that apart, Mrs Lincoln, did you enjoy the play?" Gluestick    Report
