No it's not the wheat based carbohydrate nor the sure fire front runner in the most throw-up-ably bad sitcom of all time and then some injury time added on by Carla Lane who should never go anywhere near to Final Cut by law. No the title of today's blog is inspired by the hit 'Guitar Man' by the group Bread who seemed to be every footballer's favourite band when I used to read 'Shoot' magazine back in the day when Andy Gray used to have his own regular column telling everyone about the latest goings on at Villa Park and then Molineux when he transferred to them. Nowadays nearly all footballers like R and B and people would rather read about the latest accountancy goings on at places like Villa Park and Molineux and how they're thinking of new revenue streams to make their clubs self sufficient. 

It's a big thank you to stand up comedian John Scott for letting me have his wonderful Yamaha acoustic guitar that I've been playing for the last few days. I will be trying to pen some new live favourites with this particular machine in the next few years divvent yu knaa.

In a week where 17 different DVDs came out of comedians in celluloid shutter speed mode in large auditoriums, I was thinking of doing another CD. I know the CD market doesn't sell as such, I do think it's nice though to have a laugh in the car and CD's can provide that, even if people will download it on to their i thing and listen to it that way. Whatever way round, I've never felt the urge to buy a comedian's CD even of people I think are very funny like Sean Lock or Tony Law who've both got CDs out in different formats these days.

It's a short one today because of a trip to Winchester University tonight. Fortunately I'm compering a great bill of Tom Wrigglesworth and the peerless Adam Bloom so it should be a good'un if not a noisy old dressing room. Right speak tomorrow, enjoy your Tuesday.
