"I hope I die before I get old" BULLSHIT! Long time ago I heard from the rockband "One Foot In The Grave". All the members were in a high age, but since my brother pointed me to the british Rockband "The Zimmers" (with leadsinger Als Carretaa, 90 years old, all the members are 78 years old on average!) I´m full of hope for the last years of my life. :=)) Here is the video of the coversong "My Generation" (The Who). If you don´t know this great band, please take a look to this meaningful old-age pension. By the way - there´s a lefty too! :=)) Turn your volume to 10 and enjoy it!
Enjoy your life and keep healthy! Arni |

Maybe I´m too modest, or why I was so surprised about the Blackwood company? Why they are so intresting in lefty musicians? This and many other things were subject when Martin Schrader, importer of Blackwood Guitars came for a visit into my home on Feb. 2nd, 2007. Martin had 3 lefthand basses inthis luggage and I had the chance to check them out: 1. Blackwood Bluesmaster Bass (Wine Red) 2. Blackwood Metalhead (Age Tiger) 3. Blackwood Roxster Bass, neck through (Transparent Black) I was absolutly astonished about the high quality of this basses, made in Korea. The handling is great and the design is unusual. You get a lot of bass for your money! Coustoms wishes are wellcome. So I´m proud to say, that the inlays of the Bluesmaster bass was my idea. The Bluesmaster bass is on the top of my list. For further informations, please check out the Blackwood website: www.upstroke.de |
