Hang on, I go on a writing holiday and Uwe quits collecting...? Have I slipped between dimensions or something or has (zeig) Heilboy got him...?

This place is akin to an alcoholics anonymous session staged in a brewery: "Hi, my name is Uwe and I need a drink bad ..." (applause).

That bass has holes, I did not want to take any risks, you're more a solid body guy ...

I pay so much (and so often) duty at the Hauptzollamt in Frankfurt the officers there even offer me coffee: "Herr Hornung, another guitar?"

They just pump them out these days 'cos they know he'll buy one; have you not noticed a lack of chrome on a lot of releases, just to keep him happy...?
