I believe that the rather splendid photograph of The Trogg's own Reg Presley, confidently brandishing a bass guitar in the current issue, is wrongly captioned. The claim that Reg never played bass is refuted by a story that I read, either in Q or in the NME, some years ago.

Apparently Reg was making the best job he could with a bass guitar in a recording studio somewhere. None other than Bob Dylan happened to be working in an adjacent room and heard the cacophony, a noise that suggested Reg's level of expertise was minimal at best. Bob wandered in, observed proceedings for a moment and asked Reg how long he had been playing the bass.

Reg paused, mid-pluck, looked thoughtful and replied:
"Orl fuckin' arternoon, mate, orl fuckin' arternoon."

Any other readers have examples of twixt-musician, badly-played-instrument japery?
