Life isn't fair

Over the last few days I've heard of a blogger that died suddenly who was a couple of years younger than me, the sad death of Paul Gray (bassist with Slipknot) he was only in his thirties, and now a friend at work has found out that he has an agressive tumour in his mouth.

Life just isn't fair is it at times.

    Indeed, I was very sad to hear of the death of Paul Gray - supurb player. heard a very touchin speech given by Slipnot on radio 1 earlier. Anyt other comment just seems cliche, but prayers to your friend and to Paul Gray's family and bandmates xx

    nope, no guarentees, no assured happy endings.

    Stories like this give you a bolt, and make you realise what you have, and what you should be grateful for.... yet within a few weeks you are back to moaning about your lot. Sad but true.

Tom Edwards' Poem "Why I don't drink anymore"

Thanks to my friend DeeJay for pointing this out to me - it was on a BBC2 show. An excellent summary of alcoholism I changed because I have the sickness of alcoholism, alcoholism doesn't come in bottles it comes in people. You should have seen me. I drank for happiness and became unhappy; I drank for joy and became miserable. I drank to be out-going and became self-centred; I drank for sociability and became argumentative and lonely; I drank for sophistication and became crude and obnoxious. I drank for friendship and made enemies, I drank to soften sorrow and wallowed in self-pity; I drank for sleep and awakened without rest. I drank for strength and felt weak.

I drank to make conversation and got to where I couldn't talk at all; I drank to forget and became haunted. I drank for freedom...

Guitar Review - Vintage VE2000GG Gordon Giltrap Signature 12 string

Folks will remember my purchase a few weeks back of the Vintage Gordon Giltrap VE2000GG 12 string to replace my old Yamaha which sadly has seen better days... My requirement was for a nice playable 12 string electro-acoustic.  Most of my stuff is as you know acoustic rock orientated in the David Gray, John Mayer genre.  I'd had my eye on a Gordon Giltrap for a couple of years now anyway since a) I'm a big Giltrap fan b) I'd heard said Mr Giltrap use the 6 string version live a couple of times and was impressed c) it seems incredible value for money. Now then my life was made a touch my complicated by the appearance of the Paul Brett signature 12string.  This is a slight oddity in that this is a parlour sized guitar which to be honest wasn't my initial desire but has received rave reviews and also has been designed as a 12string from the ground up - unlike the Gordon Giltrap which is an adaptation of a 6 string design.  Not unusual to be fair most 12 strings ar...
