Topic: Two a-Chordie-an household

Normtheguitar has landed safely, was picked up, and after a couple of beers at a pub on the way home, fed a "full-immersion American" dinner of grilled chicken, asparagus, fresh corn on the cob and watermelon for dessert.  My wife coined that phrase "full immersion American" and I rather like it. 

I don't know what we're off to do tomorrow, but we'll have some fun.  I love showing off my adopted home town, so we'll find some sort of trouble to get into I'm sure. 

There was a tremendous thunderstorm with ferocious winds this evening.  It dropped the temperature twenty degrees (though it doesn't feel like it because it raised the humidity a billion percent).  Guitarpix and wife were supposed to arrive today and set up camp.  I hope they had their tent raised and staked down before the winds blew.  The rest of the week is predicted to be lovely.  Lucky Pix!  The Shenandoah usually fishes well on a rise.  It stirs up the bottom sediment, which contains a lot of nummy little insects the fish like to eat.

We must have had a misunderstanding somewhere along the line. wink  I had mentioned making a week of it and we were/are considering staying longer or visiting some other places at a lazy pace back home next week... I'm still in NC now working hard to finish up some projects before leaving. We plan to head out early Friday morning for the 8hr drive and arrive sometime that afternoon. I'd have loved to of left earlier but I need to finish up the job we're on now and get another started up so work can continue while I'm away...



Hope you guys have a great time big_smile

YAY!  I'm glad he made it in safely and was given a "full immersion American" dinner... I like the phrase too!  You'll have to take him to a real honkey-tonk bar now and let him try his hand at driving on the right side of the road in some overly large sized pick up truck or SUV to get the rest of the immersion complete!  lol

Yes!  We are planning a light day of activity on Wednesday so that we have the opportunity to get some quiet time in the afternoon to recharge batteries sufficiently to be "on" later in the evening.

None of my guitars, excepting my electric, have pickups.  Can they mic a guitar there, or will we need to borrow one from someone who has a pickup? 

I love wings.

Re: Two a-Chordie-an household

I have a dean markley you can use and I'll also bring my A/E as well if you want to try that, but it's smaller than your dread if I remember correctly. Hoping the weather lets up a little...power blinked a few times here in Chantilly already.
