Re: Martin Lifespan SP Strings (8 replies, posted in Acoustic)
The owner of that company obviously cares about the folks in his town (sounds like that factory probably provides the only means of making a living for the town's inhabitants) and is keeping the local economy afloat. That is always worth mentioning, Amy, and has everything to do with this post/thread.

THAT is awesome, DE! Thanks Roger!
Can't say I'm surprised though. I have interpreted our fearless leader as quite a nice guy for a long time now and this just proves my point.
What a great way to start a Sunday!
I am happy we're friends, you two!

Re: Are We Still Doin' The CD/Stream? (10 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Okay, but I'm still working on mine. Once I get "The Cigarette Train" all researched, written and recorded, I'll put it on youtube and on my blog with a donate button to both Alzheimer's Research and the American Cancer Society. Not on YT, just on the blog with the button.
We'll call it my "swan song", since it'll be my last foray into the studio. Luckily there's a guy just down the road from me, and I can get him a little at the time till I get done.
Any Georgia Chordites who may wanna pitch in talent would be welcome.
But.....I'm gonna do this thing.

This forum is for all questions regarding JamPlay.com. Chordie do recommend Jamplay. It has some really impressive online video lessons that retails as low as $19.95.
Please tell all Chordie users what you think about the course.
Been meaning to join in, but I got this little brain-problem which doesn't allow me to handle money very well anymore, so my membership will need to wait a while till I can get my wife to work it into my allowance! LOL! (No! Really!)
We don't do it anymore, but she used to say, "Beer or guitar lessons, Bill?", Beer or guitar?, Beer or guitar?????"
"Shut up, I'm thinkin'!", I used to tell her, a la the late Jack Benny.
See y'all soon!

This time, it is a Yamaha EG112 with a Humbucker in the bridge position. Plus a Fender Frontman 15G. All for $55.00. Not a great deal. Still a pretty good deal.
Pawn shop, JJJ? I ask, because about 10 years ago, I think, Fender put out an accoustic guitar with a light blue beach motif on it. ANyone remember the model number? I don't. There were only about 500 produced and I almost bought it at 380.00, but thought better of it. It was just the "uniqueness" of it, I think. I knew I'd get tired of looking at that thing and as a result wouldn't play it.
I know: "What's that got to do with my NGD, Bill?", you're asking?
Not a thing except that's why I frequent pawnshops: old cymbals still playable and cheap guitars which just happen to be classics. I also have a 15 watt Frontman, and I love it.

Hey TF,
From what I hear on ESPN, your boys have a way of bouncing back.
As for me, I was a benchwarmer much of the time, and made neither team A nor B. Finally joined the concert, and then the marching band.

Wouldn't that make me come across as a self-centered slob, dino. I'm also reconsidering the lettering of the name on the back. No one but us knows what it means anyway, and if I want it done later, like to wear to a Chordie party, I can always have it done then.
I think I'll pass, but thanks for the suggestion.

LOL ... You gotta shirt? Reminds me of this old Monty Python sketch, about 4 Yorkshiremen trying to outdo one another, about how poor they were growing up.
Thanks, Amy, for the 'splainin' and Doug, sorry; this happens sometimes; it's almost there, then just like a butterfly, it's gone. Maybe that's why we always see those comedy shows with demented people trying to pluck something out of the air?
TF, I had never seen that sketch, and I'm such a big Python fan, I have the dialogue of the "Holy Handgrenade" memorized and get asked to do it at family gatherings. It was hilarious, was your link and made me think of this one by Dana Carvey;
