I'm a little late catching the "Welcome Train", but I too would like to add mine to the rest of the family's Marshel54. I believe you mentioned playing the banjo? Unless I am mistaken, we don't have too many banjo players in our midst, so hopefully you'll consider helping some of us along.

We're all very happy to have you aboard, Marshel! Don't be a stranger!

Thanks

GOOD Gosharoonie!!!! Those 15 watt amps are expensive, aren't they, guys?

I was "eavesdropping" in donnieclark's thread about home practice and thought to myself, "Well, he's talking about one of those $100.00 jobbies (I used to have a Fender "Band In A Box" amp which cost around that much), but when I went to the link, I got some schoolin' right upside my head. I do remember the warm "tube" sound and now I see you can get it from a $50.00 plug in. This is awesome.

So now I'm thinking, "why not ask the guys which is the really best and more economical 15 watt practice amp, and if you were to choose to do it, can you use that $50.00 gizmo pedal on that practice amp and still get that tube sound?"

Thanks

Great tune, sir!

If one listens closely to the words about a third of the way through, you'll hear the singer make reference to "St.John The Conqueroo". Here's a treatise on what he means:

I thought this might interest you, my friends.

Funny! Let me ask you about the Robert Hall, thing, Pete: Is that some kind of service that provides backing tracks for you to sing with? I looked them up on google, but only found a "Bob Hall". Same person?

Thanks

Bill

Yeah, guess I need to think on  it some more. Pretty sure my muse is taking the week off.

Note left for you on Vim, UJB. I hadn't heard it in a very long time, and I think Dino would say he loved it as well.

Bill

Thanks, beamer. I'm going to need it to handle bass as well as guitar. I'll take a look.

Thanks again

Bill

Thanks, guys.  TF: Heretofore (my favorite word ) I had been using a downloaded app for tuning, but I can sure see where that clip on tuner would work better. Especially if I'm not at home.

To expound a little more on the dilemma I mentioned above. One other problem I have is with knot-tying of the string after it passes through the nut. I have a bit of a tremor starting in my right hand and that makes it difficult for me to work with anything close-up So that was a problem as well.

Doug, that thing looks like a Swiss Army Knife, and I love those multi-tools, so I may spring for it.

Thanks Fellas

Bill

Awesome lyrics, Jim! Gonna check it out.

Bill

Thanks, flester, that's the one I chose and when this rotator cuff injury heals and I can strum again, that's the one I'll get. I'm told that those kinds of injuries take a long time to heal, but I'm working on it!
