heck, I heard an interview with, oh *^% I forget the exact guy, but one of the old blues guys that zep covered and accidentally forgot to ask for permission from, an when he heard it his quote was something like "that sorta is my song but they have totally changed it, oh H, let the boys have it" Now it would have been nice if they had kicked him back some type of $$ but he was not too upset by it.

This stairway issue was BS.

Its official, 830 AM on the 16th we will sign closing documents on the house.  even better news, the repo to teh left of us has been bought and being gutted.  Any upgrade in the neighborhood means my value has just increased!  the dogs are freaked out,  The lady at the kennel says Moose wont come to her unless she gets his brother first when she takes them out to the free run yard.  the others are doing pretty good.  We miss our kids and our animals.  Ready to get this over with!

We have both the standard Crybaby and a VOX, very similar, but the ability to shape the sound is a nice thing to have.  Or you can look into a digitech unit even though its digital, you can then shape all kinds of functions into it. classic to Ya Ya to pitch shift.  http://www.amazon.com/DigiTech-EX7-Expr … B000L0I088

And this is,  as title says with no drum and Alan on lead and accent guitar.

Thanks guys, Ihope more people with give it good listen and bring a good conversation.  Not to mention Mike is pretty freaking smart.  NOFX is the most successful indi punk band ever, he own Fat mike chords record lable.  give this a shot also  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V9CFe9OUpA

I know this may not be standard fair for most of you.  This is a musical primarily written by FAT MIKE who is the leader of punk rock band NOFX.  Its content is about Homeless street punks, abuse, sex-trade and drugs.  If you are easily offended THIS MAY NOT BE FOR YOU. Then again, maybe it will be good for you also.  (some of you may have seen me post this on FB)

a bit of vid on the making of:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeF-O82S_-c  part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Dd-NF1YyXc

Here is a article:
Why would you do a punk-rock musical?
FAT MIKE: Don't assume it's a punk-rock musical. It's a musical. There are a few punk songs in it, but the majority of the songs are not punk songs. It's a musical about stuff that's never been talked about onstage. I've been seeing musicals since I was a teenager and have always kept up with them and liked them—except the part where they're not that good. The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Hedwig [And The Angry Inch] are the only musicals where it's all good, and most musicals don't have that—almost inherently they don't have all good songs. That's what my goal was: to make a musical about something that no one's ever seen before. It's going to touch people, and it has all good songs.

The thing that struck me the most about the soundtrack is how touching it really is. I kind of went into it assuming it was going to be kinda silly or crazy, but there are a few songs on there where I was actually almost tearing up.
Live, there's not a dry eye in the house. Also, the record is a little misleading because we put some songs on it that aren't in the musical. The punk songs were just becoming a little distracting; the more story-driven songs and the sadder songs were the ones that are in the musical. It's a black comedy, but the silly songs didn't make it [onto the soundtrack].

How much, if any, of this is based on your own experiences?
A lot of it, and a lot of it is [based on] my fiancée’s, Soma Snakeoil [pictured center], and those of the people we are around. I can't tell you exact people, but one of the singers in the show was raped by her uncle for many years, and told us, "I still see him at family functions, he used to rape me all the time, and I never told anybody and I just fucking deal with it, because I'm not going to let that asshole dictate how I live my life." And that's one of the main themes of the show: All these homeless kids were all fucked one way or the other, and they were all treated super-badly, but they're not going to let that mold their lives. They're going to choose how they want to live.

Rest of interview here : http://www.altpress.com/features/entry/ … y_behind_h

I would like to submit 3 songs in this post of Amy"s  that apply to this new thread of which I had not seen till now either. (OK Im lame!)  Love the links and will defiantly look deeper into Ingrid.
I would like to introduce you guys to Kimberly Freeman.  This girl is super talented, and in these links I will show you 3 sides of her. In progressive order. (Does it have to stay acoustic?)

Lemmy used to wake up with a jack in his hand.  A quote from Ozzy goes something like this "All the rules, dont drink, dont smoke, dont do drugs, It dont apply to Lemmy"  I thought that was pretty funny coming from Ozzy! LOL
