@eric.lennon life is all so relative, Eric. If I could ever play and perform half as well as you did my mojo would be overflowing 
Thanks David, I don’t know what I would do without my guitar, things are often not going so well at home and the guitar helps me a lot.

I find my mojo comes and goes Eric 
some days the fingers just don’t seem to cooperate, and my rhythm seems off and others it just clicks 
However, whatever happens I still have a lot of fun playing and trying to improve.
Just lately I’ve drifted from my learning schedule and have been caught up in playing songs. I think my improvement in rhythm and chords has opened up a whole new world of available songs so I’m finding it great playing so many different ones 
It’s great that your music/guitar is a place that offers some light when needed, look forward to seeing a few more recordings or open mics from you 
I can relate to that, Eric, hope things go well more often.

Hi Craig, when I play now I focus also mainly on songs and not so much theory or technique. I have concluded that progressing my technique is probably going to be subject to the laws of diminishing returns due to my age. So I want to have as much enjoyment as I can , so songs it is. Although I have just decided to try to learn some slide guitar after years of thinking about it, but I will be doing this is the context of song learning.

Better L8 than never; as mentioned during the show, life (and also wildlife in our case) occupies our time. Sadly no guitar for me in over 5wks, but back in the chair this week and my finger-tips certainly know it ! So, … OM XXVI has finally become a realised “round-2-it” for me … 
@brianlarsen - a great start to the evening on your uke with a fun song too; and as ever a great host.
@Eccleshall - as per usual (for me at least) one new, and one a long-time since last heard. Two super performances Ruaridh; including some quite accomplished fills and improvisation.
@Mari63 - Well, you don’t see a ukulele for a while then two come along on the same show. Good to see you performing, Mari, loved the instrumental and the sun was definitely shining, well done.
@Lisa_S - Sounding really good, Lisa, particularly the way you accompany your singing. I am sure that bump was enjoying the groove booming through the bout too.
@MollyT - I watched your Live OM’s, quite amazing; as was your performance this evening. You and your guitar sounding really good.
@Davidp - Great to see you staying on point.You are clearly building up your confidence, David, and sounding like you were having fun on the night.

so, … to carry having been told "Computer says NO, " … apparently only 10 named ‘chuck-ups’ are allowed in one sitting , … 
@mathsjunky - Great to see a Blimmer strutting their stuff, Paul; with a few slick moves up at the “dusty end” of the fretboard. Well done, sir, I enjoyed it.
@Malz & @ElleDeeGee - Always a treat to hear you guys perform; great arrangements and harmonies. Two more great songs on the night, well done both.
@eric.lennon - Great to see you back Eric; and with a very nice and shiney music room to boot. Two great songs you picked; and no idea how you reach those high notes. Super job … there’s still life in the battery … 
@adi_mrok - Well, it hadn’t dawned on me until you came on stage that this was the first electric guitar performance for the evening. It never ceases to amaze how you put all the pieces of your jigsaw together … live, on air. Super job, Adrian.
@Brucie - Your frontman, lead singer, Zach, seems to always put 100% effort into the songs he sings, and it always comes right through to the audience. This young man has talent. It’s apparent with your proud smile that you are having fun too. Super performances and kudos to you both.
@TheCluelessLuthier - You and Lara are always a great act, Mark, and on the night you put together another super performance. A new song for me and your harmonies were rockin tonight. Well done guys.

Thanks for your kind words, Colin! Highly appreciated you took your time and checked in again. 
Yes, most of the time he does and starts dancing, too. I’m trying to avoid any hard rock or metal now as I’m afraid he starts head banging - ouch!

Sadly I know my Dilithium Crystals won’t function well enough to play a musical instrument that early in the morning these days; but do plan to watch the show over breakfast. …

Hi Colin, thanks for the feedback. The voice thing is something I have tried to improve. Using an app called Singers Studio and my range has improved significantly over the last year of using it, it can now go from A2 to E5 on a good day, if you know these notes. The tone is also getting better. Of course when i get up to perform I forget all the things about proper breath support etc just like i forget the chords of the songs 
but still it is better than it was.

Very late with this but better late than never.
I was away overseas on holiday when it was live, and I only managed to get connected briefly a couple of times so in the end I decided I would just wait until I got back and view the recording. I did listen when I got back but since then I have been tied up with a lot of non guitar related things, at least that’s my excuse.
As usual a very interesting and enjoyable, with a great blend of genres. Special mention to the debutante Molly @MollyT well done
Brian @brianlarsen you compared it in your usual imitable style and also thanks to all those in the background who make it all happen.
Looking forward to the next one.
Michael
Thanks Colin,
The first song is pretty tricky to play, but I’ve learned a lot from having a go at it👍
