Welcome to the forums anyway, even if you're not exactly "new".

Don't worry Bushy - you'll be there in spirit.  Hopefully there'll be some recordings and photos and what-not to share.  Hmmmm.  On second thought...

I've played some Larrivees. I played various models in the $700 to $1800 price range.  I didn't care for the neck's feel and the factory set-up seemed a bit high to me.  That's easily adjusted, though.  The sound was on par with comparably priced Martins and Taylors.   The quality of build seemed good.  When I bought my Guild, there was a Larrivee dreadnaught in the mix, but to me the sound of the Guild was much better than the Taylors, Martins, or the Larrivee for my playing style with the songs I play.

16 years old.  You need a Virginia freshwater license for out-of-state residents. 

You can buy them on-line or at a license agent.  License agents are available at Dicks, Gander Mountain, Wal-Mart, etc.  None of which are terribly convenient to the campground, but not terribly far either.  I'd go with on-line purchase.  You can buy short term licenses rather than having to buy one for the year and it's a lot less expensive.

So I pulled out the box to take a look at the instruction manual, which is a disc and not a book.  I'm far too lazy to try and read a manual from a CD, so I just started plugging stuff in and after some adjusting to get rid of heinous feedback, it actually works.  I'll need a USB cable to plug it in, so I'll be off to Target.  Also, I'm going to need a better pickup than the Woody, but it'll work for now until the tax return comes in.

I prefer to add ice to bourbon. 

Recovery continues.  No massage for me the other night.  I was hunkered down in the family room while my wife got a massage and was sound asleep with the TV watching me when it was my turn. 

The walk did wonders.  Today I did resistance exercises, but toned down a notch and that helped too.  I've been drinking water like it's going out of style, and that's at least encouraged me to get up out of my chair with monotonous regularity.  I was supposed to go paddling on Saturday but we're getting 4" of rain between today and tomorrow, so the rivers look like torrents of chocolate milk rather than pleasant paddling excursion fodder. 

Just keep on keeping on and I'll be right as rain in time.  In time for what?  I don't know.

Being that I have no idea how to go about playing Pride and Joy, I'll have to watch the video.  A million thanks.

Baldguitardude - Do you mean using an E shaped barre on the seventh fret?  Otherwise, I'm not sure how I'd get my pinky across my index and higher up the fretboard towards the nut to get that shape.

Also, how about Willie and "Whiskey River", where he is actually singing the song to a bottle of whiskey.  That's some serious drinking right there when you start singing to the bottle.

I do "I Like Beer" as a campfire song.  It usually gets a few people singing along and a little clanking going on when people shift their chairs.  We went so late playing around the campfire last August with Dirty Ed that I fell asleep upright in my chair with my guitar on my lap.  It was the clanking bottles when someone got up to leave that woke me.  I hope I wasn't playing a song when I fell asleep.  That particular night my bottle was filled with Sweet Tea.

Only if it works.  Otherwise, my resolve will be tempered and my will implacable.

That's how to do it!  Right on Tony, right on!  I'm just shy of 20 years younger than you, and I love those songs too.  I work with a gal who is about 15 years younger than me, and she loves that kind of music too.  Age has got nothing to do with it.  Good music is good music, and those two songs are good music!  (especially that second one, you've inspired me to go look it up myself)
