Lemmy, being British of birth, ordered a ploughman's lunch wherever went.

Jethro generally hung out at the Kitty Kat Klub

Ellie May have something to say about that, or Jed may put a clamp(ett) on his style.

And the ploughman was normally too intimidated to object.

Nowadays ploughmen are protected by law, so they can't just be served anymore.

If you play fretless, the fingerboard cant have lines or else everybody will think you're a total noob. A lined fingerboard also effects the tone because, science has proven it.

I think I have either 20 or 21 fretlesses on my blank fingerboard, and probably more than a few intonations thrown in for good measure.

Nobody plays a plain fretless anymore. Not since Dingwall brought out the multi-scale "fanned" fretless.

Some fretless bass players have found that their instruments are easier to play if they put metal bars across the fretboard at intervals. However they tend to keep quiet about their innovation as they are often shunned by the traditional (or 'orthodox' as they call themselves) fretless bassists.

The admonition "don't fret" indicates that having no frets is preferable.

As a born worrier I like having frets. They're a sort of comfort blanket, albeit not very comfortable.

Fretless means no tuning, no intonation.

Metal guitarists have added 7 and 8 string guitars to give themselves more keys in which they can chug, perhaps as a means to keep up with drummers that would have two bass drums.

The trend has expanded with triangle players buying four and even five sided triangles.

You have to worry when a triangulist gets too much into pentangles.

Of course, the two sided triangle (inside and outside) is known as a Tubular bell.

The odd time signature at the start of the Mike Oldfield piece is due to indigestion from an overly generous cheese sandwich made by Richard Branson. It caused hiccups and the accidental extra beat in the figure triggered by Oldfield slipping on the piano when it struck sounded funky and so Oldfield kept it.

The Ken Dodd signature piece 'Happiness' started as the theme song for the short-lived masculinist movement in the late 1960s.
