eeeeerrr, excuse me, we are capable of much more than just drooling, we can also talk about guitars and knobs.

and I'll prove it.. so. girls which guitar is your favourite, the red one or the metally looking thingie?

and about knobs: there is volume knobs, some other kind of buttons that do other things and of course we have Dusty  ;D

Jack, is great to read you here...

Have you ever thought about release a digital version of your book in pdf, before it gets published?
You might get lucky, now and then

Snigger.

So I goggled it on imoage search (sometime better than a long explanation loke for knobs for example)

And I got that result

Very nice. A snigger is just a small laugh. :)

Thanks for such a warm welcome to the forum and the kind words...and serious apologies to the ladies for lack of acknowledging their presence here!

getting ready to do some traveling again but will check in when I can. Please feel free to ask any questions...if any of you are on Facebook, hit me up with a friend request anytime.

with regards to the question of self-publishing/ebook form for the memoir. I had not given it much serious thought until recently because I found a great lit agent quickly and the initial reaction to the writing & story were so positive...but the book publishing industry is in the same disarray as the music business it seems so looking into making an ebook available...stay tuned!!

thanks again & looking forward to chatting more.

be well, hug them while you can & let it rock!

jack

With the advent of Kindles and the like, ebooks seem to be much more viable now. I don't have one but can read ebooks on my smartphone, I'm sure many others are the same.

Nice as a "real" book is I assume that it would be easy to set up a direct system where a much higher share of my cash goes to the author, ie you. :) I'd certainly be happier with that than a massive chunk going to publishers, or Walmart or whoever. :)

Love the comments here. It must be nigh on impossible to try and live a normal, balanced life after being on such a high. No wonder so many turn to drugs etc and screw themselves! Well done for survivng Jack, I hope the book makes it to print, I prefer 'real' books!  :)

There is the subcription scheme also, when enough order are reached then it can go to print.

I was just on Jack's webpage and saw the MFN clip from Wembley. It struck me that one of the reasons the version from that tour always sounded a bit different must be because of Jack's energetic rhtym playing. I quite like it.
