Don`t forget used. You can get a lot more wattage with used than if you bought brand new. Look in music stores and craigslist. With the economy the way it is, it`s a buyers market. The only thing I don`t go for is buying stolen. No matter how good the price is.

Well put. I always wondered what the difference is between a christian E chord and a secular E chord.

We have snow here in Central NY too. I have a feeling this year will be like the "good ole days". I kind of enjoyed the scarce snow last year and got spoiled. The really weird thing though is that I live right by a lake. WE don't usually get a lot of snow here until the lake gets colder and freezes (or at least starts to ice over). They usually get more about 15 miles from us until that happens. However, they currently have less than us. So, if my bat senses are correct, we are IN FOR IT this year! I hope Jim gets a plow for that old clunker soon. I think we'll need it. I forsee the kids sledding in the back yard on the snow piles from plowing the driveway this year.
My wife is from North Tonawanda and talks about the lake effect snow.

Topic: Medical Advice from Dr. JoeyJoeyJoey. (3 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Do any of you have wrist trouble? I do all the time. I am always wearing braces on my left knee (got hit in the knees by a Rabbit in 1981) and my left wrist.(just getting old). My wife bought a pack of wrist braces at Dollar Tree for me to try. They work great. They come in a pack of 2 for 1.00. I have tried the expensive ones and they don`t work. The cheap ones are thin and stay in place. You can put your watch right over it too. If they don`t work, you will only be out 1.06 (with tax). If you have trouble with your wrist hurting, try them. Don`t buy the big clunky expensive ones until you try these. Plus, they are cheap enough to throw away if they get dirty or worn out. They do stretch out and become useless after awhile. But at .50 each, who cares. NOTE: I`m not really a doctor. I have never even stayed at a Holiday Inn Express

My wife saw a new way to cook turkey on one of the cooking shows last night. She cut the backbone off the turkey and cut it into 4 pieces. She said it cut 2 hours off the cooking time. Anyone else ever done this? Just sharing the info. I offered to take the 4 of us out to eat. She refused.

Topic: Looking at old guitars when they were new. (1 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
In old movies and TV shows, have you ever noticed the old guitars people were playing. Especially the old Elvis movies. You can find some really cool instruments in these movies. I have seen Elvis playing a doubleneck Gibson. This morning I saw Tennessee Ernie Ford playing a cool Gibson on The Lucy Show. The old Frankie and Annette movies always had some band playing surf music in the background. The plots may have been lame but there are some cool vintage guitars to be seen in these movies. Even Bobby Vinton and Jackie DeShannon were in a surf movie that had a band playing fenders. Try it. You may like what you see. Also Hee Haw had some cool instruments.

Thats a tough one,I think it depends on the individuals taste I use Martin Silk n Steel on my acoustic only because I like the ease and sound but they have a short lifespan.my Strat is setup with slinkys .09 to .042 this works best for my needs
I used to use Martin silk and steels on my acoustics. Like Russell said, they do have a short life span but they sound and feel great. The reason I stopped using them, they changed the packaging. Now I use Ernie Ball Earthwoods Lights. 11s on my acoustic. For my electrics, I use my tried and true brands. Whatever is cheapest at the time as long as they start with a 10. On electrics I really cant tell the difference between sounds. Just dont buy a brand called ROUNDS. I did once at a flea market. Used them for a week, took them off and threw the other 2 sets away. People will disagree when I say I can`t tell the difference between electric strings. But they will agree that there is no question that you can tell when you get a set of bad strings.

Phil ,Gretch guitars are fantastic,not cheep either I do not know which one is thier top of the line,try one out if you ever get the chance.
The original, not the reissue. Yes the white penguin is rarer. But this is my dream guitar and I can have whatever one I want. So na na na na na. At the Hard Rock in Foxwoods, Chris Issacs donated his signed. It is in the window and I looked at it for quite a few minutes. When you look at the original and the reissue. There is no comparison. The first time I saw one was in 1983 and I fell in love with it.

If they go, it will be for a short time. Twinkies have been around too long to just disappear. I know a lot of the drivers from Interstate Bakeries. (Hostess, Wonder Bread, Drakes). This has been going down for awhile. They`re the ones I feel bad for. The bakers refused to go back to work after being warned that this would happen

Topic: What are your favorite movies (28 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Plain and simple. What are your favorite movies. James Bond, Star Wars, Steel Magnolias(yeech). What type of movies do you never miss when they come on. Do they match your personality. I will start. My favorites are the old technicolor musicals starring Carmen Miranda. Greenwich Village, The Gangs All Here, Down Argentine Way, to name a few. I can watch them all day and I also have a 5 DVD set. People are amazed when they hear that. It would be great to be in a world like that. Like Jimmy Buffett said, "They Don`t Dance Like Carmen No More"
