NELA would be the one to ask since We met at the jam in Gilliam,La. and he didn't bring anything to play. I have done the same till I feel more comfortable.
Anyway I enjoyed it as always and he said the group he plays with does much the same as these folks. We both may go to Blanchard on Monday.
I found out that one of the players from Blanchard is a CHORDIE member. LA LOBO said he hasn't checked in for a while though.

Had a great talk with NELA last night(by phone) and as soon as he gets set up to where he can take a breath we are going to meet and try to make some racket together.

Re: I want to record some covers (50 replies, posted in Recording)
Wish I was some help with the video question but I can not. However I do have a digital recorder that I got at Wal-Mart for less than $60.00 and it does a great job. They have a cheaper (probably same quality) one but you can't download to the computer from it. I take mine to our jam sessions and turn it on and practice when I get home. The little speaker doesn't sound like much but a port for an external speaker is present and when played back through a computer the results are surprising.

Starting work on Monday morning. Got me a nice apartment - 1 bedroom, office, 1 1/2 bath, full kitchen, dining area, fully furnished and covered parking with ajoining shop (huge) that I have full use of. I'll have a cousin and his wife + 2 horses and 2 riding mules for neighbors. All this for $200.+ electric.
Deadstring, where are you located over there. I'll be almost to Blanchard, just north I-220.
Nela
Check your map and find where Highways 2 and 3 intersect at a little place called Plain Dealing, La. That is about 30 miles from Blanchard.
Some really nice folks jam at Blanchard every Monday at 6:00 pm at City Hall.
Mostly Bluegrass or Bluegrass Gospel but not limited to that. Some of these same folks make the rounds to several gatherings.
I am going to send you a message with my cell phone #.

I hardly ever touch the pick guard so it has no effect on my playing at all.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Re: Custom Pick guard. (9 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Well they actually look better than the pictures but I must say I am kind of pleased with my first attempt. I was afraid to spray too much clear coating on them for fear they would warp as they dried. Give me your honest thoughts on how they turned out. I can take it. AL

Re: Custom Pick guard. (9 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I do have the saw and some veneer I got today. I should have an idea how it's going to go in a couple of days. About $20 invested in veneer, stain, glue, small wooden crosses and clear coat.Enough veneer for about 6 attempts. If one comes out good it will be worth it.If not it will be fun trying.

I know CHORDIE is a sight for music lovers but I am enjoying this thread esp. the pics. Looks like two nice catches. The boat and the fish. I've done very little fishing.(No patience) If I caught something bigger than my hand I wouldn't know how to act.

Oh no! Although I think I could pretend to act like a skinny tall blonde teen runaway with mother prostitute turned undercover narcotics officer, I'm not so sure I could be seen in a 1960's station wagon! LMAO!
That's funny right there, I don't care who you are!
