Thanks, Doug, sorry to read you got big troubles.
I pray you overcome.
I'm gonna try some Advil before tomorrows gig.
Topdown, I will try to get a vid made before I get fired.
Mekidsmom, thank you and bless you for being so sympatico. I am thinking about a story song.
Bensonp, I love the wonderful atitude of the owner and all the employees there. They were voted the best burger in the county. The food is fried but top quality. Beer is served in icy mugs.
The men's room is immaculate. I appreciate good folks who are willing to work to be the best and I am working to be worthy of them.

Some players go to great lengths to get the sound just right and the accompanying music to just the right pitch to make the vocal range fit perfectly.
This man tuned his guitar to an open F# to sing this song comfortably.

Hi Pete,
You support so many of us in our pursuits. I would like to support you in this one of yours. You have been around long enough to know what you need and can use.
Scratch that itch, friend. It is sometimes better to ask forgiveness instead of permission.

Agreed! I much prefer to get it done without excess volume.
Played a large convention room at a Gulf Shores hotel where 300 parrotheads were seated.
We used two 300 watt J.B.L. EON speakers for harmonica, guitar and vocals and two more EONs just for my tuba. We were not excessively loud but that much power gave us a presence that most adequately filled that big room.

Dear Ms. Amy,
That was lovely. A truly fetching performance of a beautiful song. When you "hubster" sees that it will definitely tug at his heartstrings.
I'd like to know what your dad thought as well.
I'm a fan.

A poem by someone who has walked the walk.
My dad beat alcolhol He is one of the few. He had D.T.'s for months after he quit. he was an ex-cop turned party boy. The rest of his life there was a sadness about him while he quietly endured dealing with the devil, sober.
There was no A.A. in our little town so he started one. He would work a 14 hour day at his own business then sit up far into the night talking and pouring sweet coffee down some poor guy who was afraid he might take that one fatal drink.
Gotta respect that.

"They can send me to college but they can't make me think"

"There are two established techniques for arguing with women. Neither one works."

I tried to switch from right-handed to left.
Holy cow, it was like starting over from day 1.
I figured fretting with my right hand would enable me to play faster. I got discouraged and decided to stay a righty and play rhythm.
I read that Southpaw 41L managed to achieve this. Gotta respect a herculean effort.
Would appreciate more insight on this.

Nice job, A1S. Not a simple arrangement.
I would like to compliment you on your good and accurate ear.
Delivered with good enthusiasm and energy. Rhythm is right on.
Good on ya, guy,
