Pretty good link. I grew up listening to all of those artists and at the time I hated country. Now that I'm older I guess I'm a little nostalgic so I do play some older country. Great place for beginners and those of us that have some years of experience.

Went to the river,launched a boat and did a little fishing to slow down life. Much better outlook on things even though I didn't catch anything. So a little yardwork today and maybe a little more fishing therapy. Thanks for your feedback guys

I agree with deadstring,pretty neat. It would be cool to be able to lay down your own guitar tracks over the harmonica,but I guess you can only have so much fun

I didn't realize that Ovation even made a bass guitar, let alone a solid body. Maybe you could post some pics Zurf. I had a hard time getting used to the round back also, but through the use of a cheap lawn chair that put my hips lower than my knees and lots of beers ( to further relax the rest of my body) I've been able to overcome the sliding guitar syndrome common with Ovations(LOL) I've played some of the newer O's and am not impressed with the tone or the volume (unplugged) with the reconfigured sound holes. Basically  there wasn't  a problem and they should have left  it alone. I don't know if it would be possible to cut another sound hole or port in the new ones or not. Glad to see there are other Ovation players on Chordie.

Whoops! MY bad. I forgot to add the link. Here you go Pashnit and anyone else: www.ovationfanclub.com   My Ovation is a Standard Balladeer that I've had since 1987. It's about due for a new nut and some fretwork, but still plays and sounds sweet. Enjoy the site and welcome to Chordie

I don't follow golf too much but I did hear about that match. The man showed class and pride which is something lacking in a lot of people. I don't know if stiffer penalties are the answer (suspensions,fines) or maybe counseling. The Steelers have instituted a zero tolerence policy for their players. Basically if you get caught spitting on the sidewalk you can be fined. Big Ben stands to lose 2.8 million dollars for his little escapade if he sits for six games. On top of that he cost the Steelers $200,000.00 as their fine by the NFL .  In addition one local (milledgeville GA) officer forced to resign and a PA State Police trooper sanctioned for demeaning the case. (He was working as Ben's bodyguard) As my dad says"IF it makes you go hmmm, it's probably a bad idea"

Due to having some issues with carpal tunnel in my right hand I tend to lose my grip on my picks constantly. I found a good solution with Star picks. They have a star shaped hole where your thumb and finger normally grip a regular pick. This allows skin to skin contact and really helps to anchor your pick. If you can't find them locally you can order them through Musicians Friend. I tried Gorilla Snot and although it helps you hold on I thought it was too much of a hassle. These picks are the best solution I've found.

Gotta be Johnnie B. Goode. Easy to play and just a ton of fun. And for the country fans it would probably be Folsom Prison Blues.    Butch
