    What a great man. He truly deserves to be recognised as a guitar great. He does it right!

    it's a strange phenomenon - why is Wilko such a charming, charismatic, lovable guy? Even my French friend who can't understand his English say "ah lurve zis personne !!"

    Paying for stuff like that was called 'lay away', a decent way of doing business that's pretty much gone now. It could all have been so different of he'd spotted the photos of Mick with a Gibson SG....

    What is the name of Wilko's accent?

    • @RocknRollSongbook
      @RocknRollSongbook 3 роки тому +4

      It's called the 'Estuary English' accent. It's the accent associated with people who live along the River Thames. It's a lot like a London, Cockney accent really.

    He's being really self depreciating here. He may not have paid his girlfriend back the cash, but he did marry her, so I'm sure she done well out of the deal. I can't imagine it happening these days, now I think women would just leave and go for the man with the telecaster already, and then she'd end up with a guy with a fraction of the loyalty. Great video, but thinking of the state of male and female relations these days, set to compete against each other instead of extenuating each other, it's a shame.
