Happy birthday Russell, to the most humble of wizards and helpful of mutant royalty. Many happy returns of the day. I hope you get to have your favorite treat, whatever that is (root beer floats, is it?).

Re: Birthday (20 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Many more, Russell ... many more!
You've been a terrific help to me personally with technical and musical advice, and a birthday seems like the perfect time to pass along a big "THANK YOU!". And here's my birthday greetings, now en route to that black hole of yours ... somewhere in deep space.
Very cool and original birthday card thank you TF it has been a great day

Sounds good , You guys are really getting it together .
Working on it Graham amazing what getting together each week for a few hours can do we sorted out the audio mix on vocals (a biggy) and next is getting the stage set right for video taping and live streaming and we are setting up for recording so there is still work to do

Re: Endless Sleep 1958 (21 replies, posted in My local band and me)
You guys'll soon be ready for an international tour, won't you? Great work you've been putting together, and your interpretations have been dynamite.
TF we have around 30 or so songs arranged and there are at least 20 that we have played with other groups and I think we will try the local area first before getting passports and shots our goal is to re-invent some of the oldies as well as introduce original material we are still working on a name we can all agree on all feedback is crucial to what songs stay in or out of our song list I really mean it when i say "thanks for taking a look and commenting" without critique good or bad there is no way of knowing so thanks I appreciate your time and comments

Topic: Endless Sleep 1958 (21 replies, posted in My local band and me)
This was composed by Jody Reynolds and Dolores Nance and has been covered by Savoy Brown The Judds Billy Idol John Fogerty and Hank Williams jr. to name a few it remains a classic of that era so I thought we would refresh it a bit. We are still in the process of building our recording/filming studio and the ceiling begs for a coat of green spray paint but were working on it.

Ouchoooooooooo. 49ers lost too the cowboys, Seahawks won and no report on Green Bay yet.
The Packers had a bye week the will play next Sunday night, I watched the 49er Cowboy game that rookie QB on Dallas is very good we might not see Tony Rome as long as he keeps wining.

Pack beat the Lions and after the 1st half they almost let them get to close they need to play both halves with the same intensity and forget the "prevent victory defense"

Re: High Heeled Sneekers (14 replies, posted in My local band and me)
dang
I just tried to see if I could up for that demo price, I would've bought it. $ 499 or more now
when I first purchased mine they were selling for around $299 new then it jumped to $399 and now $499 I lucked out mine only had a small dent on the back and a mar on the side I don't even notice it. you may be able to find one used on ebay
On a follow up I looked at ebay and found one for $425 also one you can bid on the starting price is $225 here is the link http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fender-Modern-P … 2146645309
and another link with various prices http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R4 … sacat=3858
