Here in the UK there is a big telethon charity thing every November called "Children in Need".
The host is Terry Wogan, presenter of the most listened to radio show in Britain (possibly the world?). As part of Children in Need, he always hosts a charity auction for things that "money can't buy", for example last year one of the prizes was teh chance to go and meet Led Zeppelin while they were rehearsing for their comeback gig.
On his show this morning he announced that one of the lots this year will be a guitar masterclass from MK. So get your wallets out! If previous years are anything to go by this will probably go for about

ummm, I'll have to check with the bank.
Wouldn't it be great though? I recently picked up the guitar (I mean that yesterday, I picked up my husband's Martin and started practising scales), put I need a proper lesson.
Better start playing the lottery...

That is what I do too! I play once in a month the "Staatsloterij" where you can win millions. It is the only possibility to get some extra money! ;D

Wow yes - as Dusty says it may be a record amount for a guitar sale. Proves that MK is still so highly regarded.

Hi Dusty.
Thanks for the link. Yes the comment is very strange. It doesn't actually show what question was asked to get Mark's comment. It seems a bit like the reaction he made in Sydney 1986 when Molly Meldrum asked him and Ed about the gift to the Hospital to help with "drug abuse." His comment of " I

Um, no I think it's just a joke.
Saying he's off to buy just one string is funnier than saying that he was off to buy a whole set of strings, especially since somebody paid 100k for the privilege.

Maybe it was a G-String he was going out to buy :o :o ;D ;D
Gayle,are you su're Gerry wasn't being finger happy with the credit card for your Christmas present ::) ::) ;D

It is great that somebody was able to pay such a big amount, after all the more money the better it is for the Children in Need!......... I wish that person a wonderful time with Mark together! ;)

Hey Waterline Man, are you saying what I think you say? Mark with a G-String as underwear? :o.................Ohhhh man, the vision I get now! :P ........I always thought he would wear a Long John! ::) ;D
