Re: Here is a guy that should be shot. You don`t do this to others. (21 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Funny dino. I had a car stolen in 2005. The police caught the 2 kids at 1am parked in it the next street over. The worcester police called me at 1am asking if I knew where the car was. It was stolen from the shop where it was being fixed. All I could figure is that they were trying to figure out how to put the top down.Or they were incredibly stupid or both. One street away. If you stole a car, wouldnt take it far away before stopping on the side of the road for any reason?

Topic: Too much time on my hands. (4 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I never thought I would say this. I can`t wait to get back to work. This being an invalid isn`t for me. An extra week off is awful if it can`t be enjoyed. My wife won`t let me do anything. Confession, She didn`t take the keys to my pickup so I do sneak out just to get away from the house for a bit. Even worse, I got a guitar in Maine last week and I can`t even play it yet Monday, I should get cleared to get back to work. Wish me luck

When I got beat and robbed.I didn`t even report it. It wasn`t even 20.00 and I did not even want to see the guys ever again. I knew who stole from me also, but couldn`t prove it. Toolbox, battery to a boat I had. Garage jack. Still I didnt report it.Just kept things locked up.(IN MY OWN CELLAR). Another time, found my car window smashed and all my casettes stolen and the car ransacked. Ask me why the guy who stole the guitar should be shot.

Re: Shoot out!!! (5 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
The interview with the robber was the best. Maybe he should think it through before making a bad decison. Boo Hoo, he wasn`t going to shoot anybody, and he didn`t. It`s hard to feel sorry for someone who gets shot while trying to hurt others. when I was young I heard an expression that stuck with me." IT ONLY TAKES ONE SECOND TO MAKE A DECISON YOU WILL REGRET FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE"

Off topic but I remember being assaulted with the Trimcomb by my mother!! I have gone through life thinking that I was the only victim. Thanks JJJ it's nice to know I am not alone. Boy they were painful.
Maybe there should be a support group for people that were victims of the trimcomb. How many would step up?

Re: Here is a guy that should be shot. You don`t do this to others. (21 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
My original point was that I think the thief should be shot.Not just that thief,but anyone who does that to anyone for any reason. Not just a guitar. Since this is a guitar forum, The link is relevant. Also that anyone that plays has more respect for an instrument than to treat one badly like two teenage boys did at a flea market. I also do take offense (almost personally) when things like that happen. And I am not going to take back or apologize for my original post. One question, Have you ever had anything you worked hard for stolen? Have you ever taken any punches for a few dollars that you had on you? Answer that, then put things in perspective. P.S. I have

Topic: Here is a guy that should be shot. You don`t do this to others. (21 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Being unable to do anything for a few days. I have all this time on my hands to look at news and go online. I don`t know how to put the link on, and the story is on my facebook page. Either way, the channel 7 news in San Diego has a story of a man who went to audition for a band. Another went up to him saying he liked his guitar and offered to buy it. When he said it wasn`t for sale, The man took it from him and said "now it`s my guitar". He was caught and the ax was recovered, that is not the point. I personally don`t take kindly to anyone treating someone elses guitar or any instrument in a disrespectful manner. Example: at a flea market. An overpriced Kent electric was there. These two teenage boys took it and started acting stupid with it. I told my daughter that they didn`t play, because nobody that played would treat someone elses guitar like that. I asked her if she would do that, or would she like it if two idiots did that to one of her guitars. She saw my way of thinking. I am sure that nobody will disagree with me on this one. I think I have too much time on my hands this week.

Re: NGD or GAS (6 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Whenever I see a Yamaha Acoustic for sale, I am drawn to it like Moth`s to a light. No matter how I am feeling. A Yamaha electric, Does nothing for me. Truthfully, I do not like them. I bought one a few years back and hated it. My reasoning was. If there acoustics are that great, imagine how their electrics are. Oh and thanx again for the well wishes

Re: THE BEST SONG EVER (37 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
The absolute best song ever. As far as words and meaning goes is "BURNING BRIDGES" By "the Mike Curb Congregation". A lot more of you have heard this than you think.At the end of the movie "Kelly`s Heroes". It is played. I don`t think it ever was on the radio. If you havent heard it, you should go on youtube and give it a listen.

Good score J3!!!!!
I'll bet the kidney stones didn't have you thinking about the hot car very much. Glad to hear that the guitar was ok. I have 3 Yamahas and I agree, they make some good stuff.
Do you have to pass the stones on your own or did they do something for ya at the hospital?
No, it took surgery. The thing wouldnt budge. Now it hurts to play the guitar I just got for now. Actually I was worried about the hot trunk. Shows where the priorities are of a guitarist. I was in pain when I tried it out. Like a moron, I was driving back from the festival with my daughter and her friend. I always say i`m very lucky. Oh and thanx for the good wishes pete and z

Topic: NGD or GAS (6 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Saturday, while at the Moxie Festival. I picked up a YAMAHA SCF04 at a flea market for 70.00. It plays and sounds good(predictable with most yamahas). Has gold tuning pegs. An older style headstock, tortoise shell pickguard. Now the good part. While in Maine (5 hours away). I ended up being rushed to the hospital with kidney stones. My wife didnt know any better and put the guitar in the trunk of her dark blue Impala. No case or wrapping of any kind.Also it has been in the high 90s and humid even way up their. 3 days later, I pulled it out of the hot trunk. It was hot to the touch but undamaged.All the glue held and the wood didn`t warp or crack. After all that time in the hot trunk, I was expecting the worst. So now I have 4 yamaha acoustics. The price was probably inline with it`s value, but it plays and sounds good.

Don't know if it is the guitar or not but it is sad that it spent so much time in an attic. The way some people treat guitars is shameful.
That is so true. A friend of mine can`t play a note, yet he has a REAL Les Paul and vintage Fender amp left to him by his father. It sits doing nothing. It should be played. He should take lessons or sell it to someone who will appreciate it. Especially an old amp, nothing is worse for a vintage amp than sitting doing nothing. Filters and caps die from sitting. Then you end up with an awful sounding amp that does nothing but buzzes. (voice of experience)

Re: Dylan story (5 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I am a Dylan fan. It does make you wonder how many of that same guitar are around. Not that people are lying,they were told they have it. Everyone would love to have something like that. Would Fender have any record of the original sale. I have had good luck with their customer service when it comes to authenticity and dating guitars
