October 13, 2008: Guitar Boat

In fourteen hundred and ninety two,
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
But his three boats, looked nothing like,
this crazy craft, of Aussie Josh Pyke.




Good thing this was made to look like a Pyke's guitar, 'cause if he played bass,
you wouldn't know if it was a bass :fish:boat, or a bass :bass: boat. :haha:

I wonder if he can play it while he floats...

No, it doesn't play. :headshake

"When I told the travel agent that I wanted my vacation to involve boats, sun, and a G-string, this isn't what I had in mind!"

If I was in that boat, I'd be fretting about making it under the bridge.

Anyone have a recipe for cooking guitar boats?

Let's see, you have your acoustic guitars, electric guitars, and...gasoline guitars... Huh?

Listen to the sustain!

is that Ringo?

Josh Pyke's body was recovered today, 6 days after his ill-conceived "Josh Pyke-Un-Plugged" concert.

My guitar amp goes to 11!

lol! I think it's great!! Now I want to see him do a stand-up bass.

One long powerchord.

I guess this guy plays table.

or runs the table, depending...

I have heard of table rapping but not table playing until now!

I'd be worried 'bout my nut.:eek:

okay, while it might be watertight, it certainly isn't STREAMLINED...

Sorry to be all Brit-centric and all, but that brought tears to my eyes.
All I could hear in my head was, "Ya can play droms? Ya can play bayse?" from Street Tough by the Rebel MC.

Classic.

You called?

When he does his Transatlantic solo, I hope its Purple Haze.

I think it should have been a banjo boat, just for the alliteration.

He's plucky, that's for sure.

Ooh that reminds me, Children in Need is coming around again.
I must see what I can do here (not much probably, we already exist in a state of anarchy). Still, I can probably manage something like a cake sale.
