No problem, now if you could just help me convince my youngest daughter that all her mumbling male pop stars with acoustic guitars are ripping off Nick Drake, that would be great! πŸ˜‰

Watched Django again. The scene where Cristopher Waltz shots Di Caprio’s Candie, as he dies he leans on a globe and collapses.
Is this a homage to Clouseau?

FWIW I’ve been learning and playing a lot of Bach on the guitar.

I've been thinking, you know what's mad?

How many songs The Beatles committed to tape and then never played again!

It must be 80% of them at least?

And of course, he's English :)
