    Worse Song

    OMG! They are priceless. I listened to their whole album. You just can't duplicate that material. Truly very unique and.....IDK what to say but that I like them & I don't know why. That said, my favorite band is Pink Floyd. Especially their older material from the 60's.

    Turntables

    Technics SL-B1. I purchased in 1976 when I was 16 y/o. The belt broke years ago and on a whim stopped at a local audio shop that sells high end turntables and inquired about the possibility of a belt replacement. The sales rep reached around behind and grabbed a new belt from a box. Obviously I...

    DROP EVERYTHING AND WATCH THIS!

    2 things. My favorite solo of all time and recently I have found I play much better with my eyes closed. Less distractions I guess.

    Stereo guitar amps

    Roland JC-22 and JC-40 are true stereo with R & L inputs as well as the famous stereo chorus. Roland makes the best solid state amps IMO.

    Did you play a Guitar Today?? Or just look at a PRS on the wall.

    I play at least an hour per day but more often (on my days off) I play for several hours a day. At least till my fingers can't take it anymore.

    Anyone care about the new iphone or apple watch?

    I am with you on that. I miss my flip phone. Batteries lasted forever and could be replaced. Problem is...the only thing it did well was...be a phone. Oh...I have a turntable...does that count?

    Bass fishing?

    When I lived near Chicago as a kid and into a young man, I would travel to northern Minnesota with my father to fish at least once or even twice a year. Awesome fishing. Now I live in MN and hardly ever go despite the fact great fishing is in my back yard. Go figure. However, to stay on topic...

    Guys... the Gibson LP standard costs $3400 now

    My take. I own 2 LP's. Black & white. They fit my hands like good gloves. Excellent playability. Both sound awesome. BUT...My chemistry somehow adversely interacts with their finish. By that I mean, just merely moving my hands up & down the neck creates a "lightning storm" of static. Every other...

    Did I mention hurricanes suck???

    Run away. Quickly! Lived through hurricane Hugo in 1989. 8 hours of absolute terror. Oddly, before the storm hit, I always wanted to experience a hurricane. NEVER AGAIN!

    Memorable Lyrics

    ...for sure You are young and life is long and there is time to kill And then one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The...

    When did you know you wanted to play guitar?

    My first time was in grade school (5th grade) I was asked to play an autoharp for a Stephen Foster concert. I did and loved it. After the concert, my music teacher suggested I should try playing guitar. I did. Never looked back.

    Humidifiers

    Here in Minnesota, a RH of 45% in the home during very cold days/nights would cause future issues with condensation and mold in short order. It's been my experience to titrate the RH according to the outside temps. A balance act for sure. I use a portable type evaporative system which does not...
