2219.0. "Jason in Print" by SHAWB1::CARRD () Fri May 31 1991 09:12

    The new edition of The Guitar Magazine features a reader's letter
    from our own Jason Flowers of the Basingstoke CSC (UK). See p 111.
    
    (Jason: I also thought their first issue was pretty good, and agreed
     with your comments about the legibility of the TABs. They're still
    duff in the 2nd. issue).

2219.1Jeez, I'm embarressed!BEEZER::FLOWERSNow it's only lukewarm....Fri May 31 1991 09:2412
    
    
    Aw no! *BLUSH* Somebody else has seen it, don't tell our American
    cousins what I wrote about there magazines!
    
    Yeh I still think the TAB is duff, but they did mention they were
    getting some new computer software to sort it out.
    
    J. (One day the article they print with my name will be the exclusive
    	interview they request when my music is heard by the masses......
    	who am I kidding!!!!)

    J, I thought the word was "naff"...now it's "duff"??
2219.3Nuff? Duff? Sounds like something Astro would sayCNTROL::TRICKEYFri May 31 1991 12:102
    I thought "duff" was the bass player for Guns n' Roses. :^)

2219.5make it "Muff" ...CSC32::B_KNOXLive Free or Die - It's a Threat !!Fri May 31 1991 17:266

2219.6How about...CNTROL::TRICKEYFri May 31 1991 19:052

>    Seriously though, I think naff means "in dubious taste" whereas duff
>    means something like "unserviceable".


Just to add to this trivia, this is an old Berkshire UK saying often used in 
conjunction with " She is up the duff" meaning pregnant !!  

I feel a smile coming on knowing this is derived from the meaning 
unserviceable!!!!

PS. Jason, will you still speak to me now that you're rich and famous...at the 
very least you aught to respond to the NOTES files via a secretary...!!!

Just foolin !  Nice to know magazine replies are from real people and not made 
up to boost sales ( reference some US mags postbags...full of bragging, 
profanity, narrow mindedness, and put-downs..I'm sure they have a 10 cents 
cheap dectective paperback writer on the payroll !)

2219.8Anyone help me win a CD?BAHTAT::CARRDave Carr 845-2317Tue Jun 11 1991 10:268
As well as Jason's letter, in this issue of the Guitar Magazine
there's a competition to win an Eric Clapton signature model Strat, and
some other bits and pieces.

Anyone know "which British rock band did a definitive version of
"Love in Vain"" ?(this is to win a Robert Johnson CD).

>>> Anyone know "which British rock band did a definitive version of

The Rolling Stones seems an obvious answer to me. Perhaps are they looking
for more far-fetched answers ?

    the ' stones did "love in vain".The reason I know this because I watch
    Crossroads the other day and they made a reference to that.
