Late to the "party" (as it were), but since I haven't been here as much lately (dealing with my own health issue, but that's a story for another day - I'm okay, though…), I'm just now seeing this (and trying to include as many parentheticals as l can).

Sending good juju to you and your Dondra, knowing that that isn't enough (but lacking the ability to do more), but sending it nonetheless…

Cocktails

To clarify:

I, myself, was not planning on using any expletives in my contribution (though I most certainly reserve the right to do so!), nor do or did I think that any other contributor was going to submit an expletive-laden song. However, I would also never deign to tell any artist what they can or cannot include in their art.

(On a personal note, I find it very sad that some potential contributors would even consider quashing free speech in any way, considering what I understand to be the average age of participants   How different would this song be, I wonder? )

I also despair of the reaction by some in thinking that the inclusion of a simple sentence

would throw the floodgates would open, leading to a deluge of profanity-laden submissions. Had I not included it, I doubt anyone would have noticed or even cared. And here I thought I was being pro-active. Ah, well. As I said, so very sad.

Also, since this endeavour would be hosted on someone's Bandcamp account (or summat), it would not be connected to Chordie in any way other than by name, and would not fall under any guidelines other than Bandcamp's, and they have no such restrictions or limitations or censoring (at least none that I am aware of.).

That said, considering the possibility of censorship of anyone's art (whether by intent or by deed), I will not be participating in this project in any capacity going forward. And as I said previously, no hard feelings. Good luck with the project.

Edited to add: Since I am withdrawing from this effort, I will also be withdrawing from this thread - if anyone wishes to continue a discussion (though I think my position's pretty clear, y'know?), you can email me, and I will try to return communication next week after I get out of hospital (going in for a spinal procedure on Weds.).

That sounds a little steep, but okay - what the heck.

You will take a third-party, post-dated, out-of-state check, right?

Okay, you're in.

...howzzat?

IMO, Paul has shot has wad.

That said, it was one HELL of a wad.

Livestream?

FanTAStic!!

Maybe instead of travelling the long distance, you could just strap on the ol' Strat, turn on the amp, plug the cord into the amp, and then - just before you plug in the guitar - give the plug a good lick

Hahaha! Doug, I like the "woman police constable" interpretation!

All righty - as promised, the FP/C(wpc!) story:

While I was waiting for someone to bring my V-Amp2 up from the back (I'd put a deposit on it a coupla days beforehand), there was a fella also standing at the counter with his girlfriend/wife and a buncha equipment that he was selling to Guitar Center- among other things, a Boss ME-80 in a case, which he had sitting on top of the counter. I remarked that the ME-80 was way cool, but way out of my price range and way above my playing ability.

Somehow, the conversation turned to the case, and I said, "Say, can I have it?" To which he replied, "Sure, why not?" -- the store wasn't buying it off him.
"Really - for keeps?"
"Sure."
"Wow - cool. For free?"
"Yeah, sure - that way I don't hafta worry about dragging it home."
"Gee - thanks!"

Well, as things went on, he included a 6-output power center which was already screwed into the case!

So, in addition to the effect that I purchased, I went home with a

Free Pedalbox/Case (with power center! [and power cord, I might add!])

.

Heh. Thanks.

Also: Gotcha, Bill. It's all a-ok.

Also also: Plugged in the power, plugged into my Tele, plugged in headphones and started monkeying around with this V-Amp2 thing...
First Impression: The effects alone make this more than worth what I paid for it: tremolo, echo, delay, chorus, auto-wah, flange, compression, etc., and several combinations of them - chorus + delay, etc., are totally bitchin' from what I can tell.
Then you add the amp modelling - Orange, Vox, Fender emulations and others… well, sir, I'm happier'n a pig in mud with this thing, and absolutely recommend it even without knowing thngs like how to combine amp + effect and store it for later recall...

Dino, I'll disagree and say that the percentage of Chordists (Chordites? Chordians? Chordiers?) are familiar with Uncle Jerry

Alla time, man. alla time.  In fact, it's rare if don't
