NEWS, THOUGHTS AND MORE FROM THE UK BASSPLAYER/PRODUCER. Tuesday, 30 September 2008. Cats 26 - Dogs 2. Ok, I was in the middle of practicing 26-2 the other night, when suddenly the thought leapt across my mind:. Which is the more clever? The cat or the dog? Cleverer' to be precise, if we're following the grammatically poor stream of conciousness in my mind at that moment in time). Ok, at first, the obvious answer screaming back was "The DOG you fool! The brain size of the average cat is 5 centimeters in ...

NEWS, THOUGHTS AND MORE FROM THE UK BASSPLAYER/PRODUCER. Monday, 9 June 2008. Whoah - there comes a time when only a fat bar of groove can make your day and lift your head!

NEWS, THOUGHTS AND MORE FROM THE UK BASSPLAYER/PRODUCER. Friday, 21 March 2008.

We've been brewing up a unique mix of 'c eltic. World-jazz-folk' recently at gigs in Manchester, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Glasgow (Oxford and Birmingham soon to follow). . This February we were at the legendary Sound Cafe recording studios, under the Pentland.

NEWS, THOUGHTS AND MORE FROM THE UK BASSPLAYER/PRODUCER. Thursday, 6 November 2008. The weather's doing some crazy stuff in London at the mo. I couldn't believe it when I woke up and just about tripped over a snowman on the way to the tube last week. and I remember jogging my way through April snow in Alexandra Palace back in the spring too. Go figure that out! Before you know it, Dennis Quaid will be breaking through your Velux window and trying to throw firewood on your christmas candles.

http://johnnycopland.blogspot.com/2008/04/are-you-listening.html
