If you can try them out and see how they feel, then the better deal is the one that fits you best.

I'm afraid Victoria is staying behind.  I'd be seriously afraid of what the baggage handlers would do to her!  As for the anti-holiday inn stuff.  No problems, I usually recommend that place or Radissons when people ask.  As for the condo we're staying at, I hope they have internet access.  I'll email you the phone number before we leave.  I'm looking forward to leaving the ice and cold behind for a week.

Oh my darlin, oh my darlin
Oh my darlin Clementine
I once held you oh so tightly
Now your dead
I draw the line.

Silliness is good for what ails ya! 

Dang, I wanted to say sumthin witty but my train of thought derailed!

Yeah, I noticed that in the Vintage Fret Shop of Ashland NH.  LOL  Now I know why!  <grin>

Thanks for the link, I;ll be sure to check it out!

The problem is, where you have a large audience, sooner or later somebody is going to figure out a way to get commercials or some type of advertising on satellite radio.   It's happened to public radio and television as government funding dries up.  And as costs and other expenses rise, the same will happen on satellite radio.  I know I'm a cynical old fart! 

As for overly talkative and legends in their own minds DJ's.  I loathe and despise them.  I want music, not chat.  I used to have dreams about being a DJ long ago, but, now I see I'd make a lousy DJ.  I don't like to banter or whatever over a mike.  I'd just introduce the tune and then shut up.

Cool

Yeah, I was wondering about the extra strings and tuning for the mandolin.   I was about 6 when I was "dragged" into taking piano lessons, a string of bad teachers and my own ADHD made that a quasi-hellish experience.   The desire was there, but, not the incentive or ability to focus on what I considered boring and tedious.   

My daughter started about 10 years old and her first teacher, who is my current teacher really did a good job of keeping her interested.  Then when we finally got a guitar that fit her and that she got to try out first, the rest was history.   At 6, it may be asking a bit much, but since he is around you and sees your dedication, the incentive and interest will never disappear.  It may just need a bit more time for him.  Also finding a good music store with a good variety of guitars that he can try out may be worth the extra effort. 

Good luck!

After thinking about this, if you are going to play and SING professionally then lessons may be a wise investment.  If your going to sing for your own pleasure and that of friends and family, then just sing it out, because in the long run, "The people who mind don't matter and the people who matter don't mind."  (Theodore Geisel aka Dr. Seuss)

Many and varied from 60's Pop and Rock bands, Jefferson Airplane, The Rascals, Jethro Tull, etc, etc, etc, to folk groups, The Weavers, Schooner Fare, Mary McCaslin, Gordon Lightfoot, etc, etc, etc.   Some more recent stuff like AC/DC.  In truth if I listed all my favorites I'd be posting all night!  OY

My tastes are varied and eclectic.  I have tunes in my collection that were probably on the charts for all of 5 minutes.  As well as more famous groups and performers.  What I like changes daily and depends upon my mood.

I just had my group class and had a strange time going from Bm to A, or Bm to G with an F#m thrown in for good measure.  It was an Irish tune called the "Musical Priest".    It was hard, but the experience was good, as was the fact that we did it several times over until it became second nature!
