My life is f**king great! Look through the stuff below and find out my views on life and the world. I think it's interesting so don't really care if you get bored or not....but it's below all the same.

B.R. Unplugged

Posted on Tuesday 25 March

I knew this would happen.

Rock Radio want me to bring my guitar into the station and play for them.

Here's the fun part.

I give renditions of well known rock songs on my trusty 12-string and our listeners have to guess what they are.

Here's YOUR part.

Gimme suggestions.

Nothing too taxing...please.

Who am I kiddin?

Bring Em On!

Hendrix-'Star Spangled Banner' played behind your back.

Or Tull's 'Aqualung' played on one leg.

Either way, we'll get to hear you fall over.

Result!!!!

Hey Billy,



It's a great idea! How about Three Dog Night's Never Been To Spain? Signs from Five Man Electrical Band is another great tune. Foghat's Slow ride would be a killer tune to play.



So there's a few ideas for you. Have fun with it!

What a great idea.

Don't suppose you could do us some Dylan?

(The singer, not the rabbit.)

Or- 'The Band'- 'The Weight'?

('Pulled into Nazareth', classic.)

You guys are funny, but you rock!

You choose Billy, just let's hear ya!
