It goes without saying that Canada has a lot of unpopulated area, so having a gun is a necessity of life for a lot of people. They are, however, usually rifles or shotguns, and are used for hunting, protecting livestock from predators, etc. Here's a few interesting population and geography stats:

United States
Area:  38,060,000 square miles
Population:  319,000,000 million
Density:  84 people / square mile

United Kingdom
Area:  94,058 square miles
Population:  64,900,000
Density:  690 people / square mile

Canada
Area:  38,550,000 square miles
Population:  35,750,000
Density:  < 1 person / square mile

Whats's even funnier, is that a full half of Canada's entire population lives in 6 cities (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa, Edmonton) with the other half spread out over the entire rest of the country. One Province (Saskatchewan) has a land area of 228,800 square miles (almost 2.5 times greater than the UK) but with just barely over one-million people.

Yup, gets lonely at times here in the Great White North!

Every sovereign nation and it's people have different opinions on the right to bear arms. On Russia's behalf, Vladimir Putin weighs in:

I finally saved the $$$ and bought the DT Trio.

The guy at the music store gave me some coaching, and I spent Sunday and Monday evening working with it. It was fairly simple to learn (using the manual) but I have to say I wasn't altogether happy with it. When running a clean tone through it, it worked pretty well, although I found the drums and bass to be quite artificial sounding. The main problem came when I started applying various effects. No matter where I put it in the signal path (and trust me ... I tried every possible sequence, including the Effects Loop on my amp) the effects also modified the drums and bass coming out of the Trio. I called the tech at the store, discussed this issue, and he said that was one of the drawbacks with it. I use effects a lot, so this won't do what I want it to.

So I took it back yesterday ...

Congrats on your new uke, Roger! Reminds me of on Ovation design, what with the composite back and all.

Whether a person was a fan or not, there's no doubt Bowie had a major influence on pop music, performance artistry, etc. His song "Space Oddity" is also a personal favorite, as UJB and Dino have already referred to it.

Smart idea! I'm also a DIY guy myself, but it's always wiser (and cheaper!) to admit when ones limits are reached.

Sounds like it was a great adventure, and that's an impressive studio for sure.

Don't think I've got much to worry about. I was looking through my poems a while ago (a hundred or more) and hoping someone will find them and "musicate" them someday. It wouldn't bother me ... I'd be flattered.

This is hilarious ... love satirical music like this. Very clever! I've never seen a guitar decked out with chicken appointments. Got a big grin out of this one, Bill ... thanks!
