Must have been mad!

Saturday I made the big mistake of going to Billy Hydes (BHM) .

When I got there, I was surprised to see people CAMPED outside. Yes, you read that correctly - there were people camping outside the shop. I had seen the ads on telly for a sale, but I didn't think the sale was THAT big! Apparently it was. There were HUGE discounts on things I didn't need (drum kits, electric guitars, pianos etc). Anyhow I decided to NOT go there that day. I went Sunday instead.

All I wanted to get was bongo drums for the LHM and a tambourine for me.

A very funny experience recently when at a rehearsal, one of the guys gave me the tambourine to play, and then not two nano-seconds later took it from me. Apparently I am not that good at it. So I thought I would get one and practise! Actually the tambourine is a deceiving instrument it's not that easy to play.....that's my story and I am sticking to it!

Anyway I got a really good deal on both items and LHM is happily belting away at the bongos which is just marginally less offensive than if I had bought him a real drum kit...
