Yeah, I remember selling the Grit newspaper. The party line ring. A nickel in the jukebox for one song. In the summer on Wed. and Sat. mornings at 4:00 am to 6:00 am picking Gladiolas for the farmer down the road to take to the farm market for 25 cents an hour. He was a good ole boy though, if we finished early and didn't drop any, we still got the 50 cents! Yeah, I'm a GEEZER! And lovin' every minute of it!!

Well, the bears around hear certainly keep me thinking of them when I'm trout fishing. But they don't usually run ya off the creek. 

  A couple years ago trying to find a better way into a sweet spot waay back in the swamp. Up ahead something runs off, from a ridge that I was taking back to the water. When I reached the spot where I thought it ran from, there was a big tamarack with a split about 10 feet up with a bee hive in it. This tree was covered with claw marks, the freshest of which about 8 feet up. I looked around and figured it was safe. The stream was about another 40 yards or so along a game trail right to the waters edge. When I slipped into the water I heard a sound back at the bee tree. Sounded something like a squirrel coming down a tree in response to a good barking call on a frosty fall morn. So I listened for a bit, till things settled down then I started wading up the creek. Maybe three steps in that water and there was a thump on the ground over there and something was running through the tag alders. It was coming pretty fast. At this point I'm quite sure ole blacky's coming my way. By the time it stops. no more than 15 feet from the water, with only it's face exposed from the ferns and blackberry bushes.  I'm about 25 feet upstream. We had eye contact for , "it seemed like time stopped. I couldn't swallow the lump in my throat" maybe 3 seconds. As the bear slowly turns away.  I just knew it was some territorial thing. Now-a-days, when I'm fishing up through that stretch. I just pull the canoe upstream, well past the bee tree. Drift back down to the truck. I DON"T walk that ridge anymore!!!!!!!

  Yeah,I guess it's Bears!

Well that's a sad story!  
I didn't care for his stuff anyway.

You'd think if he's not gonna entertain, he could at least put the darn thing down if he can't play it! Now I've just got one more reason not to like his stuff.

Hey Russ
  I'm only asking this cuz I don't know, and I have no training, only self taught, in any of that music theory stuff.
As an example; Let's use the D,C,G, progression with it starting in D, saying it's in the key of D calling it a 1 b7 4 progression.  I'm thinking, using the D,C,G, progression starting with the D, that it's in the key of G using the 1,4,5 chords, but in a 5,4,1, progression.
  I don't, but,If anyone has a song book with the sheet music to it we could count the sharps or flats to determine the key, note the chord progression, and then we'd be able to figure if it's a "1,b7,4 --or a ,5,4,1 progression.   
 
I don't think it makes a difference but I'm really curios now.
 

  Does this make any sense or am I a complete lunatic?

Yeah, ya gotta love a good B Minor,.. Zurf.... HE. HE. HE. 
  I like to put my capo on upside down at the second fret and leave the 6th string open. then play in a D pos. use the open E string like a drone, sounds oh so sweet!!  Songs like Rueben's train or Arkansas traveler, Blue Diamond Mine.

OK    I got it now!!  Either that 4:00 in the morning thing was to late or early- yuk- yuk.  But after a little sleep,  I edited the original post, it should be really close now.

Hi Cam.

  You may need to fine tune it a little.   This "^" was all I could find for the hammer-on sign.
