SHE'S FINE, SO FINE, SHE'S MINE ALL MINE

Sometimes songs come together at lightning speed in the PBGB Shed. Such was the case with "She's Fine".

Pete had cobbled together a set of very simple lyrics that were about nothing more than the lightheaded feeling a fella gets when being deliriously happy with his girlfriend. Pete had in mind a suitably simple feel that just bounces right along.

On a single afternoon we had tried it out for probably less than an hour and were really enjoying the spontaneity of the way it was coming together while still so fresh.

Anyway, we turned on the recorder and ran it through. We had such limited expectation that it was ready to record that Pete didn't even sing into a mic. But we liked what we heard and decided to add Pete's vocal lines and the handclaps later. 

Bit of fiddling by Neil, and that was that !  So Fine !

Manny Aigner returns to The PBGB Shed to play 'The Waiting Game'

Followers of the PBGB zeitgeist will be familiar with Manny Aigner's fine guitar style. Manny was a welcome PBGB Shed regular for over five years before pulling up stumps and moving to The Netherlands in early 2023.

You can have a listen back to the thirty or so songs Manny has played on with PBGB by going to The Musos tab above, and hitting on Manny's name.

Anyway, come early December 2025, Manny let us know that he would be back in the district for a few weeks over Christmas / January and that he'd like to pay a visit to The Shed.

Great !

Christmas is always a bit turbulent in The Shed but we figured we could do our best to get at least one of Manny's new songs recorded and posted on our website. 

What with various people coming and going 'The Waiting Game' came together over a few weeks, with bits and pieces put together when the right people were about.

It was a lot of fun. Great to see Manny again and very pleased he hasn't lost any of his chops.

Thanks Manny.  Great to see you again.  Hope you like how The Waiting Game ended up!
