   Guy,
   Just wanted to touch base (ka-boom), say hello, and ‘cheers’ for My Bass & Other Animals. Just read it over the week­end, and I thor­ougly enjoyed it. I’ve read a library of music books, and some are obvi­oulsy going to be bet­ter than oth­ers, but yours was a select treat. Not only did it make me belly laugh sev­eral times, but I specif­i­cally enjoyed your bal­ance of humour and humil­ity. Even though you appear to have lived — and are liv­ing — a charmed life, the book never lost sight of your grat­i­tude and, above all, con­tin­ued joy at being part of a world (of music) you very obvi­ously adore… like so many of us music junkies.

   Thanks for putting smiles on my face, not least for the sheer clas­sic line that I think will live on in my mind: “Me and Sid had a bad lunch!”

   God bless you, Guy,
   Steve

   This com­ment just to say that I really love the book (I don’t under­stand all the jokes I think but I will read it again to under­stand all)… I have time to read in the train when I go or come back from school and I often laugh alone!

   It’s really great! Good job Mr Pratt! And have joy in Basel!

   Bye!

   Thanks for your kind words…By the way it’s
   “Me and Sid had bad lunch” (Not ‘a’, sorry but I’m a pedant…)

   Hey Guy,

   We really hope to see you when we come back to the UK this November /​ December… I am not sure you rec­ol­lect, but I’ve seen your stand-up show and Marie has­n’t! We were late to one of your shows in London after they shuf­fled around your show sched­ule at the Chelsea fes­ti­val (was that it?) and we missed noti­fi­ca­tion of this.

   Hope some new shows are added to your tour page soon! We’d love to catch the show.

   Happy Halloween.

   Best,

   Ed

   Hello Guy,

   Love both your musi­cal and com­edy per­for­mances, and your book as well. Is there any chance that you’d show up in Norway to do your stand-up show? Perhaps to make up for the lack of a Gilmour show here when he was on tour…?

   Or even bet­ter; maybe you could talk Gilmour into doing a few Norway shows, along with your stand-up show, and per­haps, with a lit­tle luck, you could get Nick Mason with you as well, and do a full-scale Pink Floyd Norway 2007–2008 tour, together with your stand-up show, and then you coul.…..all right, I’ll stop.

   Haven’t quite fin­ished the book yet but i’ve already laughed a lot — my fam­ily must think i’m going mad!

   Glad to see my par­ents aren’t the only ones who don’t under­stand that an elec­tric gui­tar is a lot bet­ter than an acoustic gui­tar when you’re a teenager.

   I prob­a­bly should­n’t ask but when are you going to play my home­town? Only kid­ding. I live in southend so you could go to where it all started! The Teddy Boy revival fin­ished quite a while ago (well, before i was born any­way) so these days it’s safe to go to the seafront whilst its still day­light, and there’s even a sushi restau­rant at the top of the high street.

   Cheers,

   Thomas

   Hello Guy,

   Yet another DG blog­ger call­ing in ..
   I wanted to thank you for sign­ing my pro­gramme at the Odeon last month.
   Really enjoyed that pre­mière. A lot.

   Just saw that you will be per­form­ing in Oxford today.
   Knock ’em dead, Guy

   I hope you would con­sider bring­ing your show to Belgium on occa­sion.
   I would hap­pily seize the oppor­tu­nity to buy you a few beers, if you like.

   Best regards,
   Ralph

   Hello Guy,

   I´ve been watch­ing David’s “Remember That Night” DVD in the last month: Excellent DVD!

   I find it a very nos­tal­gic one and very well played too:
   I am par­tic­u­lary enjoy­ing “Echoes” (of course), “On an Island”, and “Then I close my eyes”.
