Never learnt to drink beer, not from my building laborour dad, not while at the university. Whiskey it is nowadays, with Glen Garioch as the go-to stuff, and the more smokey malts for treats (Caol Ila, Lagavulin)

You're very generous lending her your little ponies to play with :)

I've got a Roland Micro Cube amp, 2 Watt, 5" speaker, can run on batteries as well as AC adapter. At around €99, consider buying this little puppy for your future almost-acoustic sessions. It's got controls for tone, effects, delay/reverb, and even got an Acoustic sound setting that suits my...
