Life before Google
Steve Morse recently sat down to chat with American Musical Supply about all things music, from guitar tone versatility to J.S. Bach. This is a long conversation, at an hour plus, but if you watch it directly on YouTube, there is a convenient table of contents with direct links to individual chapters. Or just sit back and watch the whole thing here.
Bonus: Steve Morse & the AMS Jam Band cover Jeff Beck’s ‘Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers:
Thanks to SteveMorse.com for the heads-up.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Yo,
Now that’s what I call playing a cover & making it your own…
(I didn’t watch the interview, only the tune).
Adonai vasu !
October 6th, 2024 at 23:06Thanks ever so much for the Steve Morse interview & that superb rendition of Jeff Beck’s version of that Stevie Wonder composition.. Gee those drums did sound superb, nice to hear these days. Everything sounded wonderful. Cheers.
October 6th, 2024 at 23:22Always a pleasure listening to Steve’s stories!
And a new SMB album on the way – good news!!
PS: In a totally unrelated matter… has anyone noticed the sleeves? No eagles on the shirt as well! 😀
October 7th, 2024 at 13:08The T-Shirt could be worse. It even has sleeves too.
October 7th, 2024 at 14:47@4
October 7th, 2024 at 17:55You have to acknowledge that a man like Steve would look silly in suit and tie!
Maybe a t-shirt looking like a tuxedo 😃

And I always thought all Purple fans were born with a natural appreciation of elegance and style. No silly dragon prints, Luftwaffe officer and bowler hats meet Clockwork Orange look and mothers’ blouses knotted chest-high like that other band that always has the forests echo with laughter.
Jon Lord always dressed well (some 80ies excesses excepted). That is the one field where even the most well-intentioned among us must find his successor severely lacking. I wish Don’s wife was on tour with him more often so she could instruct him what to wear on a daily basis. 😁
My son is in fashion & design by the way.
October 8th, 2024 at 12:36Good old Steve Morse…an excellent guitarist and the man who brought laughter to the Deep Purple on stage. Gillan laughed more, Glover especially, watched on DVD ” .” Deep Purple Come Hell Or High Water,”.Ritchie plays solo center stage …Roger steered to the center stage space ..between little Ian and Ritchie and Jon Lord’s organ. With Steve’s arrival in the band, changes were made on stage Jon occupied on the central plinth a little to the left. Roger’s was completely on the right side, instead of a hat a pirate’s scarf and.. and smile on Roger Glover”s face
October 8th, 2024 at 13:16.
I still listen at least once a week to” Whoosh!” album…the album ages well, Don Airey is the first star of the album, but Steve’s guitar landscapes, melodic solos are powerful, progessive themes of a hard rock band…”Step by Step”,”Nothing At All”,”The Power of the Moon”,”Man Alive”… and “Dancing in My Sleep”,…hard rock funky (Glenn Hughes must be jealous;)) and a virtuoso solo by Steve.
Simon McBride’s dedication to Steve in the solo part “Now You’re Talkin’ is reminiscent of the “Cascades: I’m Not Your Lover” solo part.
Steve nice guitars and… t-shirts:)
What on earth is the big hangup about Steve’s fashion sense? Bolin dressed like a pimp most of the time (complete with the hats) and I don’t see anyone complaining about that!
October 8th, 2024 at 13:24I stand to be corrected but it looks like Steve is using his ENGL E658 “Steve Morse” Signature 20 Amplifier.
October 8th, 2024 at 14:04Uwe @3
Thank you my fellow fashion expert! 🙃
John @10
May be more for the running gag… no real problem with sleeveless guitar hero on my side.
I mean, if anything I remember Big Ians red leather pants under a vest on the Perihelion record. Next to him Steve looked kinda classy. 😄
DeepOz @11
October 8th, 2024 at 18:46Yep, that’s it. Still waiting for a chance to get one myself… or better: still waiting for the moment to declare it an “absolute necessity”!
Steve doesn’t have a fashion or even style sense to speak of.
Tommy Bolin’s dress sense was flamboyant, outrageous, elegant, glam, influenced by black artists, daring, combination-friendly, gender-fluid androgynous (even his stage demeanor wasn’t masculine, he moved and danced with his guitar like a woman would, I have a hunch that didn’t go down too well with a lot of DP fans worshipping Ritchie’s gunslinger image), highly original and to boot he looked great in most anything he wore. For years he was listed in Germany’s leading woman’s lib magazine EMMA as a music recommendation of “music for women by women” because they thought – based on the Teaser cover shot – that he was female. At one point, I wrote them a letter about his true sexual identity, burst their bubble, and he was never listed again. In hindsight, I should have kept my big mouth shut. 😂
October 8th, 2024 at 21:34“In hindsight, I should have kept my big mouth shut. “😂 ha ha ha ha, I have taken that comment completely out of context Uwe & will leave it at that. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Thanks for enlightening us all here regarding your son being in fashion & design. I am not suggesting that is the root cause of your dilemma though, he he he. Cheers.
October 8th, 2024 at 22:03Seriously though, if fashion is at all serious. I liked Tommy Bolin’s persona & attire, he was being different, a bit like Hendrix in that sense. Much much better than all that glitter & shine’ of the appalling ‘glam rockers’. That to me looked comical, a cartoon scenario in many ways. A bit like when you attend the local circus & the clowns are putting on a show & that is not a negative jibe at clowns, they were cool in that sense. But in music, please. And before Uwe sends a few Spilt Enz clips or Peter Gabriel dressed as a sunflower or whatever it was, I also loathed how they all looked. Very good musicians, as were many others. However pantomime does have it’s limitations. Cheers.
October 8th, 2024 at 23:36Nobody could wear a red jacket with feathered shoulder pads like Tommy could.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bdeb9gTgB_g&t=128s
Not to mention that silver lamé suit he wore with the James Gang!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnoLYNGpFhw
And to top it off a great accessorizer (Karin, say something!), Steve Morse never wore a fetching green boa to anything (+ those lovely red platforms), so there!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wztMkhwC6DA
It wasn’t just the last name similarity, but Tommy had the same effeminate strutting on stage as Marc Bolan did.
PS: Roy Kenner is always getting knocked as singer of the James Gang, but I thought he was great, very soulful. (And that leg split he does at 04:25 jumping from the amps shows a very fearless man shunning no potential sacrifices for a good show! 🤣)
Besides, he looked a bit like Kenny Loggins in Loggins & Messina days!

October 9th, 2024 at 00:24Herr MacGregor, I would never say anything to denigrate Split Enz though they were only Aussie-adopted Kiwis. Nor would I say anything nasty about the Skyhooks. With the exception of the vastly overrated AC/DC, most everything that came from the Bush was always well worth listening to.
There is a reason that Tommy got the job with Purple in 1975 and not the also talented and much more reliable Dave ‘Clem’ Clempson. It wasn’t just his guitar playing (I don’t believe for a second that the other DP members did not immediately notice that Tommy did not have Ritchie’s amount of technique in a neo-classical style), it was the full package, Tommy oozed star quality and was quite something else, he captured people’s imagination and fascination.
I’ve often thought about that: Had Clempson received the offer instead of Bolin, Mk IV would have likely been less exciting, but quite a bit more stable. Maybe there would have been more albums with them then. Clempson would have knuckled down to the job and I’m sure he would have gotten the Highway Star and Burn solos right (which Bolin never cared to work out because he thought it was beneath him). And his Humble Pie high energy RnB pedigree would have gelled well with DC and Glenn while at the same time he could have latched onto and stand on equal ground with Jon’s and Little Ian’s virtuosity – having played with Colosseum and all.
I think he did a great ob with David Byron in the aftermath of the Purple audition, both songwriting- and playing-wise. That sole Rough Diamond album is a lost gem.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dg9hvA_H2bk&t=156s
(Also a testament to how good a non-inebriated David Byron could be live.)
I can very well envisage DC’s/GH’s two-pronged vocal attack carrying ‘Scared’ (at 16:10 above).
But Clempson had of course none of Tommy’s sparkle. Still, in an alternative universe I would have liked to hear how a successor to Stormbringer with him would have worked out. The Rough Diamond album gives us a pretty good idea I think. Absofuckinglutely recommended listening (but very hard to get on CD).
October 9th, 2024 at 13:35Uwe @17, all excellent points. But I will return to one of your first ones – the one which relates to “the vastly overrated AC/DC”! Finally I have found someone of like-mind! They’re a solid little outfit with some a few great tunes, albeit usually with the same chords. Beyond that, I don’t get it. I never understood the hyped-up adulation and worship. You called it as you see it! And I concur!
October 10th, 2024 at 00:39Yo,
I’m not the biggest AC/DC fan, but there is a reason for their massive, ongoing success, & that’s beacuse they simply deliver the goods, all the time. You buy a CD of theirs, & you pretty-well know what you’re going to get.
So they’re like MacDonald’s in many ways, simply look at the drive-throughs jammed bumper-to-bumper 24/7, & you realize they have delivered the right ingredients for the masses, again & again, year after year, just like AC/DC.
And so, like Macca’s, you don’t have enjoy what’s presented, but to deny the successful ingredients is pretty silly imo. And everyone enjoys Macca’s from time-to-time…And who would be foolish enough to deny how great the roots sounding rock & blues of AC/DC is ???…
Adonai vasu !
October 10th, 2024 at 11:19I am feared for my uncanny powers of prophecy!!!
When I saw AC/DC for the first time, it was in November 1976 opening for Rainbow. It was my first rock gig ever, but I remember grading Bon Scott and his urchins with a “C-” (back then I still graded all the gigs I went to, would you believe? 😁), I thought they were hamfistedly hopeless and would never amount to anything. Awful sound, awful look, awful vocals, no musical elegance whatsoever.
Years later I saw a young band from Ireland, funny name, they sounded like a German U-Boot. Their guitarist fiddled with strange effects and could not play a single straight riff or solo all night long, the bassist knew hardly how to play and the singer had this messianic stance. I came to the conclusion that they would never make it either. A drummer from my then-band who was with me said the most incredible nonsensical stuff: “I believe these guys will be the sound of the future, we should cop some of their stuff!” Of course I would have none of it: “Over my dead body, this music will never fill arenas.”
And hasn’t history validated me big time in both cases? 😁😂🤣
NEVER listen to what I say! 😑
October 10th, 2024 at 14:46Yo,
@20…
1. “Powerage” &/or “Back in Black” is all you really need as “essential” to have imo…
2. “Under a blood-red sky” would be my pick from these fellows…
Adonai vasu !
October 10th, 2024 at 23:49Lieber Gregster, I don’t deny AC/DC’s musical abilities, they do what they do well enough, it just has little appeal for me. A track like Hell’s Bells is great, but a lot of other stuff sounds samey to me. And the music just isn’t refined: no grand backing vocals, no harmony guitars, no keyboards, almost everything is mid-tempo, the music is hard, but not really heavy, seldom poppy (You Shook Me All Night Long is an exception), it is bluesy in places, but has a much more angular groove than, say, when the Stones do Brown Sugar. It just sounds hamfisted to me, there is no musical lightness to AC/DC. That doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy a track or two from them. And their longevity has my respect.
October 11th, 2024 at 00:17@22
October 11th, 2024 at 15:42Well excuse me Herr Hornung 😄
Have you ever heard – and seen – the wonderful ‘Let there be rock’, I’m thinking of the official music video on YT!
Bon Scott has the most cheeky look, downright naughty!
And the drummer (is it actually the same man who was accused of hiring an assassin?) is amazing 🤩
Of course Angus is, well, Angus, I’m pretty sure his neck must have been hurt in this recording😜
Go to AC/DC for straight ahead rock& roll! Like you say I know what I’m get! Makes me feel good!
October 12th, 2024 at 02:00I saw AC/DC with Bon Scott twice: At the very beginning of their career (I came for the main act Rainbow) and near the very end of the Bon Scott era, i.e. a few gigs before his untimely death (I only went for the opening act: Judas Priest). Yeah, he had street urchin charm, but not enough to cover for me for all other deficiencies of AC/DC. Angus Young’s whole school boy act was to me always tiresome, in a way he’s like Eddie of Iron Maiden, I got tired of him too. Angus’ image and the Iron Maiden mascot both became gimmicks.
Phil Rudd’s legendary drumming doesn’t do anything for me either, yes, he has a groove, but so do lots of other people and I find his playing otherwise unremarkable. I’m not really a fan of sparse drumming, I like drums to be lively and expressive, sorry!
October 12th, 2024 at 11:17@25
October 13th, 2024 at 06:59I simply adore that I ask a little question or make a statement that is completely irrelevant but I still get an in-depth response 😊🤗
Have seen them 4 times
October 13th, 2024 at 13:47Opened for Alice cooper – thought it was great !Alice Cooper’s
Welcome To My Nightmare-
saw them on The Highway to Hell Tour-awesome(two months before Bon died)
TheRazors Edge Tour2times
Was exhausted after all these – Angus never stops moving!
Just all fun – no frills !
Can understand why some don’t care for them -a lot do!
Deep Purple is my sophisticated choice – if we can say that!the best ever!
We just like to mansplain things! 😃
Also, though cruel fate has us largely identified in the public with a four note song, Deep Purple fandom is really an assembly of communal cerebral acuity.
October 13th, 2024 at 13:57@28
October 13th, 2024 at 16:30What is it called when women are explaining things?
Mansplaining sounds somewhat familiar to me (thanks to my sweetheart) but I have no clue what it’s named the other way around 🤯☺️
Yeah I know you’re all a clever bunch 😉
The other way around it’s called: Listen to your wife, always. And if she turns out wrong, say it was your idea and how sorry you are for your mistake. She will then forgive you, but remind you periodically that she has.
These are the laws of nature.
October 13th, 2024 at 23:50@30
October 14th, 2024 at 09:13😂😂
So that’s why René often mention my impeccable memory!
Thanks, I’ll show him this!
“What is it called when women are explaining things?”
“Lament” and “complain” are the two terms that come to mind mostly. 😑
October 16th, 2024 at 00:13@32
October 16th, 2024 at 08:34Well I prefer @30
I thought as much, Karin!
October 16th, 2024 at 23:51Watching, and listening, to Deep Purple from Tampa, aug 15, ‘24, and I just wonder: what are these guys eating and drinking!
October 17th, 2024 at 18:28They do not look like any almost-80-yo I’ve ever seen before!
Come on guys, do tell us how you can perform like this – I would really really really like to know 😃
Liebste Karin:
– Roger is a vegetarian.
– Steve Morse was one too (though the places where he buys his T-shirts – gas stations – don’t really offer a broad palette of vegan foods).
– Coming from Northern Ireland, Simon (a Protestant like you I assume, I’m Roman Catholic) was probably raised in Unionist public soup kitchens, not a healthy diet, before he was allowed back to painting those anti-Republican murals in the segregated Unionist living quarters.
– Ian, much of the time in Portugal, probably consumes a lot of fish and olive oil. That is always good from a cardiological point of view, I don’t think we will lose him to a heart attack anytime soon.
– Don Airey likes to have a glass of red wine during his keyboard solo, this is a disconcerting situation that needs to be carefully monitored.
– I have no idea what drummers eat. Mostly, I think they just gnaw on their drum sticks and have somehow acquired the ability to digest fiber.

October 17th, 2024 at 22:59First of all: have been watching ‘Caramba special! Ian Gillan, Steve Jarred and the Sons of the beach’ – oh man he was also amazing then! Newlywed I guess, if the year is correct, and still he is ready to entertain!
And what a voice, and it impresses me greatly that it’s without any rehearsal 😃 he just jump upon the stage and have everyone in his hand 🙏🏼
So
– Roger is a vegetarian
– Steve Morse is a vegetarian (despite his pretty t-shirts 😆)
– Simon loves soup
– Ian lives of fish and olive oil
– Don likes wine
– Ian P is a beaver
Alright then!
Hope a colossal intake of coffee with milk will do the same ☺️
Maybe their mindset also has a lot to do with it?
I do have another theory: it’s the sound waves that help them! I know this woman who also is a homeopath and she have experienced a lot with sound waves, that the right sound waves have somewhat of a helping effect.
A lot of the older bands who excel in rock also live long and are healthy!
Well, so far I enjoy them immensely 😍
Have a lovely weekend everybody 👋🏼
October 18th, 2024 at 07:38“I do have another theory: it’s the sound waves that help them! I know this woman who also is a homeopath and she have experienced a lot with sound waves, that the right sound waves have somewhat of a helping effect.”
Sigh, invite a woman anywhere and esoteric para-physics & medicine are bound to come up, at heart they’re still all witches.
https://i.gifer.com/Kti3.gif
(Famke Janssen is still très hot if I may say so.)
I was once at a Slade gig in the late 70ies. They played a club, but had somehow squeezed their huge arena size PA system in, you hardly saw the band between the mountain ridges of speakers. And when they commenced to play they were so friggin’ loud that the guy next to me standing by the bass bins promptly got nosebleed just from the volume. 👃🩸 He was unperturbed though and kept on headbanging, his blood flying everywhere. THAT AND ONLY THAT, my brethren, is the spirit of true rock’n’roll. And also the best “helping effect” you can get from music. 🤣
October 18th, 2024 at 14:09@38
That comparison only uncovers how little your knowledge is concerning homeopathy!
Of course I don’t mean sound waves that are harmful!
Tsk tsk tsk…😵💫
I’m surprised it was Slade that caused the nosebleed, isn’t Deep Purple known for their very loud concerts?
October 19th, 2024 at 01:06Isn’t homeopathy a German invention intended to fool the world into believing that ingredients become more effective the more you dissolve them in fluids as long as you shake the composite in a certain way? ☝️🤓 And doesn’t homeopathy refuse to be subjected to clinical testing standards? 🧐
Me, I’m more the antibiotics type – shock, gasp, horror! – when I’m down with pneumonia and my monitor lizards cure better with antibiotics than homeopathy too, they’re nonbelievers like me. 😉
But it’s all good, horses for courses, and the mind is a powerful healer.
https://youtu.be/3rQ6BBc8f6Y
I’ve been to lots of gigs where bands have been much louder than DP ever where: Slade, Motörhead, Böhse Onkelz, Queensrÿche and would you believe even Elton John whose piano hammered my brains away that night.
October 19th, 2024 at 13:47Uwe! Besserwisseralarm! For once I have to disagree to your posts strongly. Steve Morse is on record speaking about club sandwiches he was trying to get in a hotel
October 19th, 2024 at 14:25…. Ian Gillan stated he hated fish and is known for enjoying a steak (it’s in his second book I believe)….and Ian Paice told us some months ago that anytime they cross the border to Deutschland he asks the driver to stop so Ian can grab a German Wurst or two. We even saw him eat Schnitzel.
Roger indeed days he likes a decent vegetatian curry.
@40
You’re right 😃 there is a German homeopathic school, but I’m educated from the Swedish!
There are no molecules in the remedies, but there are fluctuations, and the more diluted a remedie is, the stronger it works.
I promise you I could show you proof if I could show you directly, in here it’s a lot more difficult 😅
It has nothing to do with the effect of placebo. I have helped a lot of animals, and also trees, roses, a lot of other plants and lawns, and they for sure don’t know they are supposed to be better ☺️
I admire the science, and antibiotics have saved a lot of lives, no doubt about that. But actually, at the moment a Danish professor is investigating the fact that antibiotics don’t get rid of the infections, they are merely stored in the body, and can pop up if a person f.i is very stressed.
Homeopathy removes the infections, that’ll say both bacteria and viruses. But it’s also used in a lot of other conditions.
I’m really happy to have learned this, but I’m not living in the medieval period 😄 I love to work with the science, not against it.
And in this time where more and more infections are more and more resistant to all kinds of antibiotics I think it’s pretty common sense to investigate what can help us out.
I find that a lot of the clinic testing standards are failing because the persons doing them are not experienced enough in the field of homeopathic remedies. F.i there are some remedies when mixed together that dissolve each other, so the test persons are getting plain water instead of the remedie.
I don’t shake or stir (😄) I use another way, which I will not reveal here, but it has a lot to do with quantum physics.
The late English queen was a firm believer or should I say, user of homeopathy and both she and her husband lived very long.
I’m not here to convince anyone, I just wanna remove some of the most common misconceptions.
And by the way Deep Purple – I read that Ian G drinks homeopathic whiskey 😅😅 (just saying this so I’m not kicked out of here 😄)
October 19th, 2024 at 16:32@41
October 19th, 2024 at 16:36Very interesting Max 😃🙌🏼
A good steak is wonderful and regarding all the heavy metals (well yeah) there are in fish, I guess beef in any form, and chicken, are a very healthy substitute for fish 😄😄
@40
October 19th, 2024 at 20:07Oh ok Uwe, but isn’t it correct that Deep Purple has been or is in World book of records because they are/have been the loudest band?
Not that I see that as an accomplishment in itself to be loud 😄
How the bloody hell can you live in Portugal and not like fish? The mind boggles, Max. 😂
I beg to differ re Morsezeichen Steve: That club sandwich he wanted must have been a veggie one, he’s listed as an IVU (= International Vegetarian Union, they are plotting to take over the world, those darn grassmunchers) member, look here:
https://www.ivu.org/people/music/morse.html#:~:text=El%20Musiquero%3A%20%22I%20observed%20you,with%20a%20neatly%20ecological%20question.
As if we hadn’t known. I mean the guy did release music on Windham Hill Records, acoustic folk ambience world music stuff. If you do that, the veggie threat is just around the corner, if you ask me! Those gas station airbrush naïve Native American art T-shirts with all those garish color chemicals in them ain’t fooling’ me.
PS: See what SHE has done to us? I mean Karin. Here we are, two perfectly sane men, discussing dietary requirements of DP members! “The forum’s ablaze, the site’s on fire,
October 19th, 2024 at 21:19the woman’s flames are reaching higher …” N U F F S A I D ! ! !
@40
October 19th, 2024 at 23:59Sorry, a mistake: in my eagerness I wrote: ‘there are no molecules in the remedies’, by that I mean there are no molecules from the original subject the remedy is made of! The solution I use is vodka and water.
@45
October 20th, 2024 at 00:28Yeah but you like it don’t ya 😉😄
@47: I‘m a glutton for punishment with wimmin! I even married twice.
@40: Yeah, DP were in the Guiness Book for their volume, I never cared about it either way. I remember another unlikely culprit from a few years ago: Uli Jon Roth in a small club at ear-splitting volume. It felt like a Guantanamo Bay interrogation.
@42: Homeopaths, Danes, wimmin or all possible combinations of the three are all very welcome here, Karin! Now can I have another cup of coffee, freshly brewed?
October 20th, 2024 at 02:02Uwe, you made my bloody sunday. Or was that grey and foggy? (Bloody like in that little story of a Kraut visiting an English restaurant and telling the waiter without waiting to get asked ‘Waiter! I vant a bloody shteak!’ To which said waiter replies ‘Sure. And you have some fuckin’ potatoes with it?!’
You are right about Karin.
Karin, you are right about the steak.
So I put great trust in both of you and tell so a well kept secret here. Promise to let nobody know… When I was 14, way before lyrics were available on tje internet, listening to You Fool Noone I thought I heard them sing….You fool noone…making your steaks like before…
October 20th, 2024 at 14:24@48
– It doesn’t have to be a punishment to be married 😃
– I remember Ian G mentioning that he would scream his way through an entire album (with Gillan it was) because that was what was wanted.
I have listened to DP all my life, and yes his voice can do a lot of things, but I certainly like the more ‘softer’ songs too. And his voice nowadays are even smoother than I’ve imagined it would be.
– Yes of course! I’ll make you a cup of coffee of your dreams! And if you want I’ll bring you a single malt to go with it. Or maybe a piece of chocolate? ☺️
October 20th, 2024 at 19:21Ask Edith if she has tasted the Danish chocolate brand Summerbird, so very yummy.
@49
Aww Max, your secret is safe with me 😃
October 20th, 2024 at 19:25Maybe you need a very good cup of coffee too?
Someone has to mention it. Basil! Fix me a Waldorf Salad………………
October 20th, 2024 at 21:06@52
October 20th, 2024 at 22:56MacGregor, are you quoting from the marvellous Fawlty Towers? 😃
Are you maybe also drawn to Monty Python? 🤩
Whatdayyamean, Max, YFNO is NOT about frying steaks?! That is the first thing I heard.
I’ve misheard countless lyrics: For decades I thought Jim Morrison was musing about a missed opportunity to fornicate in Roadhouse Blues when he sang (I thought) “I should have laid you … I should have made you … give up your vows”. Turns out he’s singing “Ashen lady, ashen lady, give up your vows.”
A dirty mind is a beautiful thing. It should be at all times preserved.
October 20th, 2024 at 23:26Allora, ordering in a restaurant in a foreign language is tricky business …
https://youtu.be/Ou2vqAwNEW8
October 20th, 2024 at 23:58I knew who to trust, Karin! And a cuppa coffee would be very much appreciated on a monday morning …facing another endless video-meeting … Have a nice week everybody.
Uwe, I’m sure you know how that italian spelled Mississippi to his friend …
October 21st, 2024 at 07:44@56
October 21st, 2024 at 17:19I’m nothing if not a very good coffeemaker, so consider it done! It’s known for keeping everyone up all night, so those endless meetings are easily overcome 😃
Et voilá ☕️
Ah… Tak, Karin! …And to quote Ian Hunter (who deserves a mention anyway…): All of the good one’s are taken …
October 22nd, 2024 at 08:09@58
October 22nd, 2024 at 15:35I immediately make you a fresh cup of coffee 😄
I am happy to see that Karin has really taken on her prescribed role, all is good then. My work is done here.
