Great thread Toots - reminds me of Toney's epic gigging tales that had me logging on every day for the next update! A nice little job you have there & you write about it with great style & wit.  I've never had catfish, but I like the sound of the food at your workplace...
Cheers!

Still hereabouts, but spending more time on the dreaded Facebook, these days!

That's OK Amy! Even my wife forgets my name - quite often...

Did something to the ring finger of my right hand the other day, & had a searing pain across my hand & up my wrist. Now if I put any weight on this finger or move it the wrong way I get the pain again. Was worried this might be CTS, but having looked up the symptoms, I don't think so. Relieved - CTS sounds bad, especially for guitarists! My finger problem doesn't seem to affect me when playing guitar, fortunately. Will try to avoid straining this finger again & see if it clears up. Left hand is also a bit stiff in the mornings - think that's just age...!

Great story, Amy! Would just love to be at one of those parties! It must be the "English reserve", but (around here) just the sight of a guitar is enough to break up a party in double quick time. Even my very talented guitar playing friends need mucho lubrication and arm-twisting. Asking someone to come & jam is a bit like admitting you're an amateur dentist in need of willing victims.
I suppose the grass is always greener...

A cabin on a lake and guitars! Also very jealous!! Great photos, too - some fine shirts, there! Hey, I have a loud shirt and a bald head, I think I would fit in well...

Toney, you will be missed! Thanks for all your great advice & the brilliant "Gigs" thread. Glad to see that you are now active on Facebook.
Hope that oil slick stays away from your shores!
Cheers & Best Wishes,
Paul.

In short, no! Have kind of lost interest in the last few years, mainly, I suppose because there's next to nothing worth catching round here any more ! I may have another try at catching sea bass on plugs/lures - I know it's possible, but have been trying for a few years with no success.
There are a couple of good trout fisheries around here, but they are pretty expensive. I have caught so many trout over the years that this has lost it's thrill too. It's a bit sad too, that most of these trout are stocked, then caught within a few days. I think I would get more of a buzz from showing someone how to fly-fish for trout, in fact the offer is always open to locals, or anyone passing through...

And a warm welcome from South of the Border...

Thanks Wayne, guess I need to do a bit of research. Any more ideas would be gratefully received...

So , Pix, any chance of a "how to set up your guitar" step-by-step guide for the rest of us? Please!
