After what seemed only a few hours sleep, it was over to the Wheathole to see if Sol,Fine-line and Paulette were up and about and so they were. Someone had got it together (I can only assume Esther!) to make a pot of coffee as well as a selection of muffins - a pretty good way to start the day :) At eleven, Jim got on the mic for the rant 'n' rave hour and Lyndon, Frankie, Victoria, Paulette and Tom told the story of the problems of getting to Alaska in the first place. Victoria recalled the day she met Lyndon, complete with pink rubber dress and high heels - that was what Lyndon was wearing not Victoria! Tom and Frankie told how they first met Alex and Lyndon.

In the afternoon, Lyndon gave a masterclass in the Wheathole with Caiti Hopper,ZiggyD, aka Deborah, Cil and Esther. Lyndon went through a song Caiti had written,making little suggestions to chord structures and various other tips to add something extra to the song. Even on this one song, I think Caiti might give her mum a run for her money in the songwriting stakes. Cil had written an arrangement of the Beatles' "Yesterday" which Lyndon went through as well. Lyndon also talked about how he contructs a song, showing various chords he uses that weren't necessarily "pop" chords. At the end of the time, I think the gang got a lot from Lyndon's tuition. They were much appreciative of Lyndon taking some time out to give them some tips.
