Congratulations to everyone.

Happy burpday!   May your presents be large, expensive, and frequent.

According to the news Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, and some other Southern states are seeing flooding. I hope NELA, Beamer's kin, and StrummerboyBill are making out OK. Or any others I may have missed.

I'm not so well equipped with video and whatnot.  If anyone wants to drop one of my Dropbox tunes in, I'm OK with it.  My brother and his family will be here New Years Eve, so I won't be participating in real time. 

I think it's a wonderful idea Bill, and I also think I know what you mean.  Just basically pop up some pictures and whatnot through the night as we may see fit, and basically just sharing our evenings with one another.  I don't have many friends who are local, and so I definitely use this forum, among others, for my social connection.  Using the forum for a more traditional, but still forum-y, social connection is a really neat thought.

Hilarious Jerome. 

Yeah man.  Z is a greater reflection of a body.  I didn't know you cared, Beamer, but I'm spoken for.  Or maybe you are saying I have a much larger reflection than previously, which would be true.

You're dang right that acoustic is defined by Z!!!  Z all the way, man!  Now can anyone tell me what is defined by 'urf'.  Maybe "weird chords at the wrong places".

Rule number one of guitar: If it sounds good, it is good.

Play what you want for the style you want.  If you are looking to have the song recognized without you singing it, you're going to have to learn to do some lead picking.  If you don't really care that anyone recognizes it, or can convince someone else to sing it, or you feel like going out on a limb and singing anyway, that all works too. 

I don't play anything like a straight cover.  None of my guitar parts sound like the originals.  Everything gets a new arrangement that I can play.  That said, it's fun to stretch yourself and learn how to do a "proper" sounding lick, especially for key guitar phrases. 

I'm sorry that this is such a wishy-washy answer, but the whole thing is for you to have fun making music.

Merry Chrastmas, Happy Birthday, and Happy New Year.

I put a few new songs in my Dropbox. See if you like them. Have a nice pub night. That sounds like a fun way to spend an evening.

I'll give you $27.50 for the Guild twelver.  :-)   

Seriously, though, if you have any nylon string acoustic or AE cutaways you're looking to move, I'd be interested.

If you ever come to Virginia, bring your kayak.  You'll be glad you did.

That was weird enough to count.
