Well... I haven't yet figured out how to edit posts in this new software so here's a repost of the SE EG that didn't show up in the post above.

Edit button is on the left side under the post.

Your writing skills are absolutely good, Hans! And I bet your oral language are same.

Whoa - we have an unwritten agreement around here not to discuss Hans' oration skills!

 

[Dusty Chalk]

Thanks, now that's stuck in my head, and those are the only lyrics I know. So it's probably going to turn into a medley with Edelweis and Rumplestiltskin.

 

[C&M Music - Lafayette]

Uhhh! I dont think I have seen this around? A SE Torreo with EMGs and Floyd on the Sweet water site.

Phil says he will be posting pics daily starting tomorrow, including anything new from PRS.

Yeah... sorry about that, Alan. It's not personal. I'm still a PRS guy. Hell, I just bought an NF3 from JustMund (via Sergio). Long-story-short: we moved to Germany last April and the routine(s) we used to keep just didn't work anymore. Between my new job, my marriage, my daughter, my band, and heavy travel, there isn't much time for guitar forums. Even if there was, I'm in a very different place these days. It wouldn't be the same.

Paul (and the PRS company) have been exceedingly kind - and astonishingly generous - to me and to my girls. I'm also grateful that he and my brother Shawn allowed me to be a part of the team that established this forum. It was a privilege and I gained a great deal of wisdom from the experience. I'm a fairly senior guy in a very large, multi-billion-dollar company so I was surprised by the things I learned about culture, group dynamics, and the value of a life lived (in all domains) with authenticity. Some days I wish I could have a mulligan and do it again better - but then the lesson would be gone.

This community (and the Birds and Moons forum that came before it) is the place where I met the very best friends I've ever had. It will always be dear to me.

Happy New Year to you and to the rest of the fellas, Alan. You are missed.

~Hans

Hey Hans,
Whereabouts in Germany? Maybe we can get some of the German forum members together. I just moves back here after 11 years abroad.

Cheers and I hope you and your family enjoy it here!

Hi Alex. Drop me a PM with your location. A gathering would be great.

I knew Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern- schplenden- schlitter- crasscrenbon- fried- digger- dingle- dangle- dongle- dungle- burstein- von- knacker- thrasher- apple- banger- horowitz- ticolensic- grander- knotty- spelltinkle- grandlich- grumblemeyer- spelterwasser- kurstlich- himbleeisen- bahnwagen- gutenabend- bitte- ein- nürnburger- bratwustle- gerspurten- mitz- weimache- luber- hundsfut- gumberaber- shönedanker- kalbsfleisch- mittler- aucher von Hautkopft auf Ulm in 1707, when I was only 475 years old.

It took me four years to find Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern- schplenden- schlitter- crasscrenbon- fried- digger- dingle- dangle- dongle- dungle- burstein- von- knacker- thrasher- apple- banger- horowitz- ticolensic- grander- knotty- spelltinkle- grandlich- grumblemeyer- spelterwasser- kurstlich- himbleeisen- bahnwagen- gutenabend- bitte- ein- nürnburger- bratwustle- gerspurten- mitz- weimache- luber- hundsfut- gumberaber- shönedanker- kalbsfleisch- mittler- aucher von Hautkopft auf Ulm, because simply asking for directions to his house took a very long time, and he was rarely home. Months went by before I was able to get clear directions.

He spent a lot of time on tour with his band, Die Untoten.

So I followed his band all over Germany, always asking when Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern- schplenden- schlitter- crasscrenbon- fried- digger- dingle- dangle- dongle- dungle- burstein- von- knacker- thrasher- apple- banger- horowitz- ticolensic- grander- knotty- spelltinkle- grandlich- grumblemeyer- spelterwasser- kurstlich- himbleeisen- bahnwagen- gutenabend- bitte- ein- nürnburger- bratwustle- gerspurten- mitz- weimache- luber- hundsfut- gumberaber- shönedanker- kalbsfleisch- mittler- aucher von Hautkopft auf Ulm's next show was scheduled, and after several years finally made it to a show.

As it happens, Die Untoten needed a keyboard player, and since I was fairly adept on the harpsichord at the time, Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern- schplenden- schlitter- crasscrenbon- fried- digger- dingle- dangle- dongle- dungle- burstein- von- knacker- thrasher- apple- banger- horowitz- ticolensic- grander- knotty- spelltinkle- grandlich- grumblemeyer- spelterwasser- kurstlich- himbleeisen- bahnwagen- gutenabend- bitte- ein- nürnburger- bratwustle- gerspurten- mitz- weimache- luber- hundsfut- gumberaber- shönedanker- kalbsfleisch- mittler- aucher von Hautkopft auf Ulm asked me to join his band.

I toured with Die Untoten for about 3 years, but then I met Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern- schplenden- schlitter- crasscrenbon- fried- digger- dingle- dangle- dongle- dungle- burstein- von- knacker- thrasher- apple- banger- horowitz- ticolensic- grander- knotty- spelltinkle- grandlich- grumblemeyer- spelterwasser- kurstlich- himbleeisen- bahnwagen- gutenabend- bitte- ein- nürnburger- bratwustle- gerspurten- mitz- weimache- luber- hundsfut- gumberaber- shönedanker- kalbsfleisch- mittler- aucher von Hautkopft auf Ulm's sister, Brunhilde Gambolputty de von Ausfern- schplenden- schlitter- crasscrenbon- fried- digger- dingle- dangle- dongle- dungle- burstein- von- knacker- thrasher- apple- banger- horowitz- ticolensic- grander- knotty- spelltinkle- grandlich- grumblemeyer- spelterwasser- kurstlich- himbleeisen- bahnwagen- gutenabend- bitte- ein- nürnburger- bratwustle- gerspurten- mitz- weimache- luber- hundsfut- gumberaber- shönedanker- kalbsfleisch- mittler- aucher von Hautkopft auf Ulm, and she asked me to stop touring with the band and come live with her in the Gambolputty de von Ausfern- schplenden- schlitter- crasscrenbon- fried- digger- dingle- dangle- dongle- dungle- burstein- von- knacker- thrasher- apple- banger- horowitz- ticolensic- grander- knotty- spelltinkle- grandlich- grumblemeyer- spelterwasser- kurstlich- himbleeisen- bahnwagen- gutenabend- bitte- ein- nürnburger- bratwustle- gerspurten- mitz- weimache- luber- hundsfut- gumberaber- shönedanker- kalbsfleisch- mittler- aucher von Hautkopft auf Ulm castle.

We were happy for several years, but she passed away from plague in 1714, and I decided to move to Weimar, to hang out with the young Johann Sebastian Bach, and some random women we met in a bar.

So that's the story of how I met Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern- schplenden- schlitter- crasscrenbon- fried- digger- dingle- dangle- dongle- dungle- burstein- von- knacker- thrasher- apple- banger- horowitz- ticolensic- grander- knotty- spelltinkle- grandlich- grumblemeyer- spelterwasser- kurstlich- himbleeisen- bahnwagen- gutenabend- bitte- ein- nürnburger- bratwustle- gerspurten- mitz- weimache- luber- hundsfut- gumberaber- shönedanker- kalbsfleisch- mittler- aucher von Hautkopft auf Ulm.

Giggle...

 

[Dusty Chalk]

Fixing it for you:

Cliff's notes...

Les played keyboard with Die Untoten and lived with a girl named Brunhilde for a while, in a castle. When she died, he played with Bach (J.S., not C.P.E.). In a foursome. Or perhaps the correct term is 'quartet'.

@alantig and @LSchefman: Don´t make fun of Germans.

Apparently Monty Python produced a whole episode of Flying Circus in German AND Germany.

 

[Boogie]

I predict the Dean girls will be shiny and/or figured and I will walk away from whomever I'm with.

This came true. Spooky!!

Yep - I've got 'em on DVD. Can't understand them - it's like those Germans have a different word for everything!

 

[11top]

Actually, she was Schecter, but hey......close enough.

 

[Maertl513]

I like them very much. How about asking Paul to invite them as brand representetivs. Image them at the booth presenting all guitar models by starting "And now to something completely different!"

 

[Kazz]

...he played with Bach (J.S., not C.P.E.). In a foursome. Or perhaps the correct term is 'quartet'.

...only if what they were playing was music...

 

[Dusty Chalk]

Lap steel!

Banjo!

Pointy guitar!

Dagnabit, I forgot to say mandolin.

(For those who don't know, the mandolin is like the 12 string of banjos. AYE KEED, AYE KEED!)
