"Rockin' Rana Ridibunda Blues"?  (We have a lot of them around here.)

Get with the times Parlor Picker. Rana ridibunda has been reclassified and is now Pelophylax ridibunda 
It's a controversial move....

You may mock but my appearance on Friday is subject to me first catching enough newts for my students to examine in the morning...

[Parlor Picker]

I'm a traditionalist, Liam.

I suppose you say "Bearded reedling" as well...

Oi! I don't have a beard 

[natterjack]

On a different note....

Any requests guitarwise? Added a couple more since this photo was taken....

[Richard]

My word you've spawned a few 

Naturally I like the look of the reso if it's old and the real thing..    failing which something old.... I would like to see you doing George Formby number on the a uke 

[Parlor Picker]

Natterjack: Hire an HGV and bring 'em all!

Seriously though, wouldn't like to pick one out. They all look pretty damn gorgeous. I suppose you can bring a selection as you're a local lad. I particularly like the look of that sunburst ukulele - and most of the guitars come to that.

Looking forward to meeting you and your guitars.

(I didn't dare give the original and still more common name of the Bearded reedling for fear of setting Richard off...)

Richard:
George Formby did not play a ukulele! He played a banjo-ukelele (note English spelling).  I think I'm going to bring my ukulele next week. Perhaps we can start a breakaway ukulele group, or just play ukes to annoy Phil.

[Norfolk Slim]

I'll try to remember to bring mine

[blueshome]

A uke is not a b..... (oops, that which cannot be named) and played well is quite acceptable.

To simplify things Liam, bring a big guitar and a little guitar.

[Parlor Picker]

That's three of us. Does that constitute a quorum? Or maybe a mutiny?

[Norfolk Slim]

Or perhaps a cacophany.

Mine has a built in pickup with an incredibly loud output level...

[Richard]

I can only bring the one toy arriving by flying machine, but if anybody had a spare banjo I'd give it try

[Norfolk Slim]

That could be arranged 

[Richard]

I was rather taken with the one I tried here recently particularly as is had a sort of dead easy, no-pressure action. So it didn't feel as though it would cut me fingers to ribbons, unlike a guitar does after twenty mins! That's what comes of playing lap of course and I'll say that before somebody else does 

What I really like is that you are obviously tuned into this from work

Good Lord. I think I have to go into the newt business.

To quote the late Peter Cook, I think you'd find it a bit of newtsance.
