I've experienced much to much of a breakage problem with the Elixer g string and have sworn them off forever. My new favorites are Dean Markley Alchemy strings  - still working on which I prefer, the bronze or phos.

I usually save the box and write the date installed, initial impression of sound, then the date when they are replaced, and thoughts upon replacement. I take pleasure in the search for the perfect string. Experimenting with different brands and gauges is part of the fun.

I buy most of my strings from the below site. Great prices, monthly specials, great service, fast shipping (free on orders over $35). Check out the Sound Room to hear the tone of various brands and makes.

My part was so small, I am almost ashamed to be listed with the truly talented members involved in this collaboration. Thanks Roger and others for all of your efforts. Although I am not deserving of any praise, I do feel proud to be associated with you folks.

A Chronology of Magnetic Recording

http://www.acmi.net.au/AIC/MAGN_REC_CHRON.html

Starts out:

1878 - Inspired by a visit to Edison's laboratories in Menlo Park, New Jersey, a prominent American mechanical engineer named Oberlin Smith conceived the idea of recording the electrical signals produced by the telephone onto a steel wire. He files a patent caveat but not a formal patent.

1888 - Oberlin Smith, deciding that he will not pursue his idea, "donates" it to the public by publishing his ideas about magnetic recording in the journal 'Electrical World'.

1889 - Danish inventor Valdemar Poulsen re-discovers ( perhaps after seeing Smith's article or the Tainter patents ) the principle of magnetic recording. Over the course of the next few years he produces practical sound recorders for steel wire and tape. He takes patents in Denmark, the United States, and elsewhere and attempts to sell his patent rights to investors. The machine, called the Telegraphone utilises a steel wire wound helically on a cylinder rotating under an electromagnet connected to a carbon microphone or an earphone. It is described as a device to record telephone messages in the absence the called party.

1900 - Poulsen's first major demonstration of the Telegraphone takes place at the Paris International Exhibition of 1900. The Telegraphone is desribed in glowing terms by the technical and scientific press as superior to the phonograph and a great advance in physics as well.

1903 - The American Telegraphone Company formed in Washington, D.C.to manufacture the Tele graphone. A manufacturing facility in Wheeling, West Virginia set up to make the machines, and the company makes a large public stock offering. American Telegraphone creates several distributorships across the country to handle service and sales. Telegraphone publicity over the next decade or so promotes the various models of the machine as a dictation system and an automatic telephone recorder.

1910 - American Telegraphone, failing because of bad management and production problems, moves production to Springfield, Mass.

Happy Days

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptP6snCIndk

I remember when Happy Days when THE SHOW - must have been 3rd or 4th grade. I've seen it now as an adult on cable and don't know how my Dad put up with us watching that ridiculous show.    But, in those days there were only 3 or 4 channels so the selection wasn't all that.

I tell my kids now when the president speaks, as a kid that was the only choice - it was on all 3 channels...it was torture, and we had to get up and manually change the channel! Oh the horrors! And I had to walk to school uphill both ways .....

I'm tellin' ya - kids today got it made

Congrats to you Roger, and Sue on your impending Great Grandparenthood! I gotta believe that any kid with a rockin' guitar playin' great grandpa would think that was pretty COOL.

Chordie is a friendly place and I'm sure if you would ask nice, several members would have searched for tabs and offered you links like this one:

Hang around, check out the resources and FAQ. There are other Mason Jennings fans here (including me) that I'm sure would like to help you out with tabs.

Thanks Doll, Somehow I knew there would be a history lesson in this from you. Very cool story about old Jack! Here in the US, it's primarily a day when kids dress in costumes and go door to door to get candy. How is it celebrated in other parts of the world?

That sounds fun Pix - post some pics!

This got me thinking - whats in your Halloween songbook? Zevon - Werewolves of London is obvious. What other songs do you Chordians have to celebrate All Hallows Eve?

Is Halloween primarily an American thing? Does the rest of the world celebrate the witches and werewolves this night?
