    Myself and several "contemporaries" have an acoustic-oriented band we call "OLDPLAY" ... apparently there is a young R 'n R outfit from Britain that heard about as and adapted our band name ??? ..I believe they call themselves COLDPLAY....(stupid bloody name )....

    Quote from roysboy - "COLDPLAY....(stupid bloody name )...". Not if you live in the UK it's not, & dare i say that BC probably fits the name as well.
    I used to phone my late Canadian friend & mandolin player,David Tinkoff,over in Ottawa on occasion. He'd always ask about the weather. I'd tell him that it had been down to -6 deg.over night & David would say 'Hell fire,you got a heatwave !'. It was around -35 deg.in Ottawa. At least we don't get the Ice storms that you guys got over in Canada a few years back.We saw it on UK TV & if Hell ever does freeze over,it'll look just like that,

    Trying to think of a new name for my mandolin quartet. Take the Fifth might work. There are 32 strings in a mandolin quartet, and 32 is 2 to the fifth.

    Seán Fir Sneachta, Irish for Old Snowmen. Not sure why it just sounded good when someone said it.
