Excellent stuff by the players, even though I wasn't sure when the instrument tuning-up finished and the real music started...

A Masters of Thai Culture?

Sounds suspect.

Are you worried someone might challenge the inconsequential, off topic nonsense you post on every thread you infect?

Whilst in the Royal Navy, a good friend Dicky Davis claimed after his leave to have shagged Elton John, whilst on leave!.
This was around 1972/3, well before Elton's generally acknowledged coming out.
Dicky also shagged numerous friends wives and other sundry orifices, and was a bit of a legend in that department even though being the ugliest bastard you could imagine
