Wish the best for ya Bswyers. You shouldn't have to worry about that damn wolf---

   hey honey can you get the door?         Mike

Much better! Funny how that applause thing works Pete. I've noticed when a song
  doesn't go so well most will still applause out of kindness yet it's that applause you
  get when it goes real well that we want, but the more I think of it maybe it's the
  desire to self express that drives me- or just be really good at something I enjoy.
  Kinda like people who have great jobs that look forward to going to work each day.
  I've never had one of those jobs.

Amy- you are "somebody". You are somebody while playing and singing and still
   somebody when you put your guitar down! Don't want to hear that nobody stuff.

Hi there Wayne, Well I think possibly a mix of reasons. For me without doubt is the
   practice. Confidence building practice. Improvising on nearly any genre of music
   is one of my goals. Ok-- not so much a shredder or classical, but you get my drift.
 
   Lately I've been playing jams and get togethers that may result in the formation of
   a band. In a band setting, the main reason to play has to be all of the above men-
   tioned. Also I really enjoy playing and watching others having fun and smiling and
   really getting into what the band is doing. ( fun to watch the ones that had too many
   pulls off the bottle also ). Hope all is well Wayne.       Mike

Way to go Big Jim! Keep up the good work.       Mike

I'm sure it will all work out for you no matter what although your comfort zone"
   has changed somewhat. Would help out but am in Wa. state and by coincidence
   I also am doing a benefit for a college scholarship fund on that same day in
   Vancouver, Wa., not to be confused with the much larger city in B.C.:)  Jumping
   back on bass. Our old band has been reunited after 17 years!      Mike

Another howdy from a born and raised Ohioan but living in Wa. state for 30+.
Lots of good stuff here. Fine wine Pete? I remember some baaaaddd hang-
overs on that "fine wine". ):   Mike

Welcome Jerrybass, great place to have questions answered and help others as well.

Sorry Pix--- hopefully it will heal soon. I've heard of the super glue trick on small cuts
but yours? Been workin on my JX and have many a cut and scrape etc. Back to the subject at hand I have been playing many songs but not really working on any serious except Pancho
and Lefty-kinda.

Hey Pete, finally got to watch a couple of your new vids. Very good! All that work
  is paying off. You are way ahead of me but I am still threatening to get some vids
  one way or ? We might be competing on A.O.F.I.        Mike

Hey Zurf, Sorry you are frustrated but give it time. We suffer from a lack of patience
  Zurfwalker(good one Z !) and the better we get the more the impatience increases.
  Focus on the good parts, the ones that help you improve. Your hard work and desire
  has got you to this point so far and you will continue I'm sure.

I've been working on Pancho and Lefty recently. The lead lick contains a cascading
  lick made of diatonic(2 notes simultaneous) run down I can play but not at the speed
  needed. Like you I have to remember to go slow and gradually increase the speed.

  Good luck.  Mike
