  1. I had a thing for Grace Slick !
  2. Paul , ( silky fox ) ? Go to the beginning of his mammoth thread and that's how it starts ...
  3. When the lyric says " joke " ( life is but a joke ) on the word joke there is a bass note and what sounds like a diminished or suspended chord . Have listen . The bass player is involved . Its played like that by Jim as well .
  4. To be honest with you I heard , or noticed Jims version first . To me Bob was just a political hippie at the time and I put him in with Leonard Cohen and such . I was only 17 and very influenced by the likes of Jefferson Airplane/Starship etc etc .
  5. He is crunching out a very strong rhythm all through . Essential I would say .
  6. I'm glad you posted that spaceman coz I have a question . On the word " joke " there is a chord , a sorta suspended chord , I think its only played once but is very effective . Any one know what it is . Also thank god Bob Dylan wrote it or we would never have been treated to this excellent cover or indeed Jims .
  7. I started on Aspen then went Husqvarna just coz my dealer cold no longer get the Aspen but could get the Husqvarna one . I buy the 4 stroke one and mix it at 50:1 with Redline 2t racing oil as I have a good bit left .
  8. Same applies to Aspen 2T and Husqvarna XP power 2T .
  9. Jonathan mate . So sorry . It is always coming and never gets any easier . You gave her the best life possible and she repaid you in spades bud . She will always be remembered I know .
  10. Get some irrigation pipe work in there .
  11. Wiki says they are Oaks .
  12. I have a Borstal " old boys tie " . Does that count ?
  13. All my saws run well on Aspen or Husqvarnas equivalent . Not used Motomix but can't imagine a problem with it . The problems come when a saw has been used on pump fuel for several years . I'm not going to go through it all again save to say the Akylate fuel can show up denigration to the rubber components caused by the pump fuel .
  14. Yep . I was 17 when he died . Found it hard to come to terms with for a bit .
  15. I have heard Jim play this on another album ( vinyl ) but a more " full fat " version . Axis Bold As Love ?
  16. It might very much depend on how long it has been run on pump fuel before you swithed to alkylate fuel . It may be that the alkylate fuel is now showing up the degradation to the rubber components that the pump fuel has caused .
  17. Its a dilemma innit . I don't want to be selfish and have a dog that I can't do justice to . Its been a huge part of my life having a working spaniel but hey ho ...
  18. I do remember those pics from a while back Mick . He loved you no doubt , after all you were the one providing the food ! ....and the love and the companionship . I get all welled up , even when other peeps post about absent friends . You give them the best life you possibly can .

  21. Fcuk me dead ! A challenge is an understatement I would think ...
