I tried one out. Also a telecoustic. I wasn`t too impressed.

Re: Monkees and The Eagles (28 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Hi, First post. The Monkees were one of the most subversive bands of the 60's.
Check the lyrics to Pleasant Vally Sunday or Last Train To Clarksville. (Clarksville being the station closest to the airfield from where the soldiers flew to Vietnam)
Subversive????. I remember watching that "subversion" on Saturday morning when I was small.( The 60s). Along with other cartoons.

Stephen Stills tried out for the Monkees and didn`t make it. He told his friend Peter Tork about it. You know the rest.

Re: New cord (1 replies, posted in Electric)
A good quality cord will last a long time. Back in the 80s, I whined about paying 20.00 for a cord. I just replaced it last year. I paid over 100.00 for 2 cords of different lengths. But I have the joy of knowing they will probably outlive me.

If it`s me you mean Derek yes. We are an hour away from Boston. Although our neighbors know someone hurt in the blast. Just glad they got them before they could do any more harm.

I, and I know there are several others here also, who do not consider it being 'bugged' if asked for help in posting picture or anything else for that matter.
So ask away guys.... we really want to see those photos.

Re: Happy New Guitar Day!! (12 replies, posted in Acoustic)
There have been at least (3) NGD posts here recently that are in violation of not posting pics (just semi-kidding). I refuse to post a response until a picture is posted. IMO without a pic, it didn't happen.
Some of us don`t know how to post pics. I can`t keep bugging other members each time I want a pic posted. I am probably not the only one in this situation

Re: How to buy a guitar and accessories? (7 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Bring someone with you with experience. Do a lot of research online to make sure you are not overpaying. Especially for epiphones or squiers. Accesories can be anything. Think if they are really necessary. You are already asking questions or else you wouldn`t be here.

Re: Found out why I have been too tired to pick up a guitar. (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Did the doc check anything besides your bp Joey? I've had good levels all my life but twice my bp has elevated tp more than 155/95. At first they thought it was hypertension but then found out I had a kidney infection which affected my blood pressure. The biggest indicator was I was tired all the time. A couple years ago I was showing high bp during an annual physical and put on pills. Once again I was tired all the time and mentioned to my physician that I had went through the same scenario before and it was due to a kidney infection. I was sent to a urologist who found out I had a prostate infection. I continued to take the bp medicine but kept getting light-headed (some would say I have always had that condition). I bought a bp cuff and began monitoring my bp and found out that taking the pills after the infection was gone was causing my bp to go too low (95/55). I contacted my doctor, we discussed the situation and I quit taking the pills. My bp has been in normal range the last year.
Its nothing to mess with. You did the right thing having it checked out.

They hooked me up to all kinds of machines. I`m going back in a month or sooner if I can get an earlier appointment.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. Dangerously high. Had a major dizzy spell monday merning. Then a worse one tuesday morning. Got my wife mad at me because I didn`t want to wake her. So I drove myself to the hospital. Im no doctor but I know that 140/95 isn`t good. Time to break some bad habits. Yes, I know I am way overweight and my job is getting to me. 60 hour work weeks don`t help. I think it is time to do little things like taking the dog for a walk and not let my job get to me.

Topic: Fender Greta Amp. Does size matter? (1 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I dropped my daughter off at the movies yesterday and figured I would go into guitar center JUST TO LOOK AROUND. I swore I wouldn`t buy anything. I ended up buying a Fender Greta Tube Amp. It is red and gold and looks like an old fashioned table radio. It has a 4" speaker and puts out a whopping 2 watts. Has anyone had any experience with one of these? Funny, when I was young I used to want the biggest most humongous amp I could get.(Marshall half stack) Now I like the small ones. (Pignose, Honeytone ). Who says size matters.

Topic: What is your favorite song. (23 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
You can only pick one. Think hard. Which song is your absolute all time favorite. It doesn`t have to be your favorite band or singer. Just the one song that speaks to you the most. The deepest lyrics or best music. The one that floats your boat the most. My favorite song of all time is " Burning Bridges" by The Mike Curb Congregation. Unbelievable lyrics. It was a hit in 1970. It also played at the end of the movie "Kelly`s Heroes" Another great movie.

Re: How to buy a guitar (21 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
After much research and opinions, I go out and find all the guitars on my list. I play each one several times over a period of a few months. The "right" one will always "speak" to you. Something about the tone, the feel of the neck, and the touch that will always let you know "I'm the one."
Now I would purchase a beater guitar on the spot if it sounded good, had good playability, and the neck looked OK .....oh, and if the price was right.Make music,
Russell
My 59 Gibson was calling me. I went in to buy a telecaster and kept going back to it. It wouldn`t stop calling until I bought it. The downside is that I still don`t have a telecaster. If you are new to buying a guitar, bring someone with knowledge. Do your research too. Especially if you are buying from craigslist.

Re: danger in washing dishes (24 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
We have these machines over here in the Colonies where you stack the dirty dishes, cups, saucers, plates, glasses, goblets, etc (pretty much any utensil made for cooking or eating). You add a bit of soap, push a button or 2 - about an hour later you get reasonably clean dishes! It's magical!
ETA - Heal Quickly!
One time I accidentally stabbed my hand with a knife unloading the dishwasher. Blood splattered all over the dishes. So I put more soap in. Closed it up and washed the load all over again before the blood could dry.
