does anyone know?
c'mon martin, you know the answer to this...
there i was, listening to this boo radleys bootleg, a live acoustic gig from 98 - denmark i think, and sice keeps going on about something being "kepo" - whats he on about?
dunno if thats how you spell it, but its said like "que" (like what manuel says) and "po" (like the red tellytubbie who isn't as funny as the green tellytubbie with the hat)
its just a word i haven't heard anywhere else that's all (is it me? have i lead a sheltered life?)
oh, and its a great gig that one by the way, fantastic! |

is it 'capo'?
"The capo effectively acts as a moving nut (or as a barre finger). A capo is useful for transposing the key of a song, especially if the song contains a lot of open strings or open chords, if the song contains only bar chords, then there may be no point of using a capo as you could just as easily transpose the bar chords to the desired key."
not sure why he would be banging on about one on stage tho'. funny boy.

hhmmm...
could be capo, sice says "now this one definatley is kepo (or capo)" right before he tells us "i stink" and bangs on about a garlic meal he had before the gig, and some scouse voice in the background says "anyone got a kepo?" - then youse play "find the answer within" - if that helps
ah well, probably not anything i should be worried about eh... |

I made a little search on Google...
"Kepo" is a Malay word for "busybody", and is a widely used lingo in Singapore.
