A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband.Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen. 'Careful,' he said, 'CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my gosh! You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my gosh! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They're going to STICK! Careful. CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER list en to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Have you LOST your mind? Don't forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the! salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!' The wife stared at him.. 'What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?' The husband calmly replied, 'I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm driving.'

" The Babbling Sphincters"

Hi RavenLady,

I viewed the episode with Tony Bennett. Elvis' lovely and extremely talented wife, Diana Krall played a few tunes with Tony. Diana is one of finest musicians in the business. I bet their kids are be something special( in the arena of music) when they get a little older. Elvis is a real dude and his knowledge of music is vast. This is a great show, I only wish Elvis would play a little bit more himself. I get what he's doing though, not trying to steal the spotilght from his guests. This, along with Austin City Limits, is one of the best shows on TV( in my insignificant opinion).

Control your own destiny and play solo. I play 90% of my gigs solo. It's much easier to organize practice sessions and decide on which songs to play......

Did you see him do it? I appreciate your passion in standing up for someone you obviously have immense respect for. Could we go so far as to call it a man crush?( haha, just jokin' wit' ya)

        I personally have spent lots of time in the "gutter" bars of Nashville. My baby sister lives there and I visit her often. I 've met and spoke with Stacy Mitchhart and Blues-U-Can-Use band that play at Bourbon Street Blues and Boogie Bar in the heart of "printers alley"( Gretchen Wilson was discovered at this fine locale).

       In 3rd and Lindsley I met 3 dudes that call themselves "Bone Pony"( Scott, Bryan, and Tramp). Fantasic band, ya gotta see 'em in person to believe what they can do live!

    And finally in a dark, moldy, old landmark bar on the "wrong" side of the tracks in Nasheville I met a group of gentleman by the name of Larry Cordle and Lonesome Standard Time band at the Station Inn.

        Maybe your circle of friends in Nashville have some top secret information on KC that the guys and gals I know are not aware of. ( it is possible and I'd love to be proven wrong, it'd be a  beautiful story)  I would never be so brash to question your word but from my personal paths of travel in Nashville on the road of currently working musicians, KC is not one whom these musicians aspire to emulate. And until I see it with my own eyes and hear it with my own ears,I  say Kenny Chesney is a poser...........

See what I mean;

Hi Royce,
The first and easiset step would be to apply a touch of pencil lead between your strings and saddle. This creates a smoother gliding surface thus reducing friction that sometimes leads to snagging, which leads to string breaking. If this doesn't do the trick( resolve your problem) then the problem most likely is too deep of a string groove in your saddle. This problem is beyond my area of expertise......

Hi Roger,
You're doing the right thing, just take it slow and easy. Filing your frets down with some fine grain sandpaper is perfectly OK. Just don't go too far with it. And as far as replacing all of the frets when a few are worn down, do not listen to a luthier who insists that all of the frets need to be replaced. This is a gimmick often used by the big time corporate music stores of the universe and it's a major scam. ( Sorry scammers!)

         The guy that re-frets my guitars will replace the frets that are worn down and those only. If you get a flat tire on your car do you change all of the remaining tires? Nope. Same principle with guitar frets. They big boys will try to tell you that frets have to be ordered as a set to accomodate a specific guitar. Total fabrication of truth.

        Guitar frets come in huge, rounded spools of metal and are cut to fit specific guitars. Look for someone who'll replace only your overly worn frets. I usually pay, approximately $15 per fret( if 5 frets or less need replacing) to the gentleman who repairs my worn down frets. Maybe $10 per fret if 10 or more are in need of replacing. I try to make to sure that the gentleman repairing my child of music gets at least $40 per hour( plus tip, 20% usually) for his time. And a good repair guy can do at least 5 frets in an hours time....

Peace and Guitars,
Toney

I used to be a Cincinnati Reds fan back in the Big Red Machine days. George Foster was my favourite player when I was a kid. Now days I root for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. They actually changed the name of the team to the "Rays" last year. I refuse to succumb to this change. I've been a fan since the teams' inception in 1998 and I'll always call 'em the Devil Rays. What a year they had last year! Hopin' for more of the same, if not a little better this year. The  family tries to attend at least one game per season. We usually sit out in right field and relentlessly heckle the opposing teams right fielder. Tons of fun!!!!
