Maggi, may I please play the guitar for you on Gerard's Gala?

Maggi, no need to be shocked...  :o  obviously I was referring to the guitar "noise" Thomas would be making...  ::) ;D  ... I would never doubt your singing talents..  ;)

I am too fond of Thomas to doubt him, Luc.... but perhaps it will be better if we postpone our debut untill we have have a few years of rehearsal together.... and we are all so busy, that may not be easy....... ah, well, the world will just have to gues what delights it is missing..... it will mean the Galanthophiles are able to concentrate  more easily on the shades of white, though!  ;D ;D

Luc, now you have shocked me - the definition of "noise" lies simply in the ear of the listener. I really love that metal sound
but I also like (and play) the soft tones of an acoustic guitar, especially 12-string with just a good singer like Maggi and me in the background.

Sorry to drag you all away from guitars etc, but has anyone heard when the CGS Snowdrop Day is, and the venue? And when is the Kent Goodnestone show?

Jenny has or tried to hand the organising to someone else. Maybe there are teething problems
