Don't you love technology

Black and Gold all the way--GO STEELERS--now if Ben can control himself ......

Thanks Pete.That  did indeed bring a lump to my throat. As the father of a soldier who served two tours in Iraq and now is deployed to Afghanistan and having served myself (Shortly after we pulled out of Nam) I appreciate the love and respect that you and other people show towards our troops. If you or anybody else wants to show your appreciation to our troops now, contact your elected officials and get an address where you can send some needed items to our guys and girls in Afghanistan. Most of those deployed there now have no access to a P.X. (that's a type of store for those who don't know). A big thing on my son's list is hard candy,which they hand out to village children. This serves two purposes. One it develops a bond between the villagers and the troops and two it actually helps them in gathering information as to enemy movements. Other items needed are -tobacco products-lighters-snack and other food items - magazines and newspapers and baby wipes(often this is the only way they have to maintain hygiene ) Thanks again

you know, if you hadn't used the dremel you would now be a true redneck luthier

I have probably close to 500 different songs in different books and folders,everything from classic country to new rock. I'm not saying that I can play all of these with any degree of expertise but I have at one time or another given them all a try. I have maybe 30 or so that I have played often enough that I remember them depending on the circumstances. I find that if I try too hard to remember a certain song I often draw a blank, but if some one jogs my memory a bit I can usually put it together. Some  that I play constantly are not a problem but let me not play one for six months or so and I really struggle putting chords and lyrics together. So I usually keep a folder handy with what I want to play. This not only helps me but lets whoever is around to pick songs and either play or sing along. I'll change out what is in the folder depending on who I happen to be playing with or playing for. I've found that this gives everyone an opportunity to get involved with the music. After all, its not how well you can play something(although it sure helps if you don't sound like you're torturing cats) it's how much fun everybody has

No, I agree Doug. After making sure the bills are paid, the teenagers get their allowance, and the wife gets the house money,there just isn't too much left to go do things. I've been checking in but haven't had a lot of free time what with work and home maintenance. And zguitar, I wouldn't say we've gone downhill, I've been on another site that really has gone downhill. Less posting is probably due to time constraints. Chordie is still number one

No unfortunately I didn't get around to going and seeing this guitar. I did check out the Pignose website and looked at some other all in one models that are for sale. Pretty neat concept although it has been done before,in one manner or the other. I believe it was Silvertone who sold a guitar and amp package where the amp was built into the guitar case. I'm sure there have been others but the names escape me now

Congrats on the new guitar Roger. Personally I don't think I would be cutting into this beauty. I would stay with a clip-on pick up or transducer. Again that's my opinion. Anyhow, Happy New Guitar Day!
