Thanks for the info Chevo.  Checked out the youtube link and they got some fine music going on there.  Portland on the 30th might be doable and a nice venue.  A little surprised there isn't a booking in Seattle.... they do like good music up on the sound.

Sorry Toney, no offense meant.... but we Northwesterners are kinda wishy-washy when it comes to College Ball.  I like the Huskies, and am also rooting for the Oregon Ducks for another shot at the Rose Bowl this year.  But (and it's a big one) I am a Beaver Alumni and although I might get run out of town on a rail after a little tar and feathers for even hoping our arch nemesis gets that chance again this season.... if it happens it would be a good thing in my book.

Is that burning asphalt I smell?    Gotta Go! LOL

What's Facebook??

Have as much use for it as Twitter.... Sorry to those of you that think it's grand!  Somehow I don't feel any burning need to be intimately connected to a half-million people at any given time.  I have my friends, family and of course my extended Chordie Family, beyond that my needs for social interaction are well met Thanks.

Allow me to also Welcome you to Chordie!

England Dan was also known as Dan Seals and some of his music can be found here on Chordie.... however not that particular tune.
You may be able to find it elsewhere on the net under his given name, and as Roger suggested, if you are able to find a video of a performance somewhere post it and it is likely someone can come up with the chords for you.

Again Welcome Aboard

Good Info there Ian,  that's about all I could come up with as well.  I do wonder however if the GS designation refers to the woods?
Something like GS = German Spruce.... it wasn't mentioned in any of the reviews I found either, and like you said the website was of little help in giving up information that could be useful.  Many reviews I read from owners and publications did say that generally they were pretty good in the fit and finish department, which leads me to think that someone was writing good specs for their contractors.

Personally, I tend not to be too "snobbish" about guitars.... if it fits you and plays well, and has the sound that you enjoy, it's a good one.  What it's made of, where it came from, who stuck a brand on it matters little.

Take Care, and Welcome Aboard Stringsofsix!

I was going to leave this one alone.....  But does anyone know how much it costs the American Taxpayers to fund the Secret Service Details that watch over our living "Past Presidents"?   How about the "retirement stipends" for all the politicians that no longer hold office?  Or the medical expenses they incur as part of the "Public Employees" benefits package?  Who foots the bill for scraping the Pidgeon Poop off of all the Monuments and Buildings in D.C.?

Seems we all have our little crosses to bear.....

Well I tell you Tony, you've chosen wisely.

Either of those will do the job for you.  Naturally Fender has all that reputation behind them and they do turn out a fine product, but personally I like the Behringer equipment I have used..... for the bucks a better deal in my mind.  Behringer is either using Bulgara or Jensen speakers depending on the amp and both are fine.  Now I do love the tube sound of my old Fender amp, but go to the Bhringer more often than not for all the effects and not having to wait for the darn thing to warm up before it starts screaming.

Best thing would be to grab your guitar and wander down to your local dealers and spend a little time playing through each of them , then make your decision.

Ain't these new electronical thingies wonderful? 

The cool thing about the USB interface is that it often will identify itself to the operating system and then the appropriate driver is either loaded from the library (within Windows) or it will run home to Mama (the internet) and search for it there.  Just to be on the safe side though I'd be sure to visit the Xitel home webpage and see if it is possible to gather up a copy of the driver for your operating system and install it prior to plugging the thing in, so you can be assured that it will be recognized and operable.

Been having issues with this new version of windows myself with not having updated compatible drivers for all my devices....
getting by on bare-bones sound etc.  a real pain.

Sounds like a cool device though and would appreciate a short review on it if you find time and inclination.

Good weekend for Football around here....  Been raining for three days straight!

Sorry Cam, as you predicted with the support of Jerome, Alabama TRASHED Duke 62 to 13.

We had two NCAA games within easy driving distance here yesterday.  Oregon State vs Portland State (cross-conference) which is almost within walking distance (but not).... Portland might just as well saved the fuel and not bothered, lost 69-0. U of Oregon is only 45 miles South, and beat Louisiana 35-28.  Traffic was a mess!  A friend went up to Portland yesterday and it took 6 hours round trip & it's only 85 miles each way!

My Seahawks are in Denver this afternoon, so we'll see.... only a couple hours to kickoff.

I used to support the Rams when they were still in LA, then "adopted" Kansas City, but support my Northern Neighbors these days.

I think Ian is on the right track there.  "your songbook" is really just a link to another data file which is basically an index of the songs you have elected to include in your "book".  The pages of which, are in themselves only links to files that are hosted on other sites, which are retrieved and formatted for your viewing pleasure in a uniform manner.  The best way to get a copy is to print a hard copy of each individual tune you want to retain, because Chordie does not have those files anywhere on it's server.  Your songbook is at the mercy of whatever sites which are hosting the songs individually, and if for some reason they are shut down, your links to them would be lost as well.

School supplies are on sale now so it is a good time to invest in paper ink and a couple binders to put it all in.

Hey Russell,

Avoid the LG Voyager series...  the front touch screens are really fragile!  Mine cracked from sitting in the sun at 4 months, and it wasn't warranty covered.... "you must have pushed too hard or hit it against something".  Naturally I have insurance on it, but I have waited until the screen is so bad that you can't see the numbers to dial, and now I'm going to get a new one.  Here's hoping they have got past that weakness (there were lots of postings in the forums for that issue).  Blackberry phones require a data plan (additional cost), and really the LG smart-phones do too to get the most out of the features.  Seriously thinking about Anderoid as an alternative because of the software available that is not based on the BREW (Java derived) operating system, Verizon has locked BREW to the point that you HAVE to buy apps from them at greater cost than others out there. The strongest suit LG has is long battery life though..... something in the neighborhood of 10 days of standby.

HTC makes some nice phones also worth looking into.

Just my $.02

Hi Russell,

  OK got it, you want to un-hook from Roadrunner.... and you think you have an unsecured wifi host somewhere within range?  You might check your laptop and see if it has wireless capabilities.  If so you will likely have to turn on the "antenna" and ask your laptop to search for available networks within range, it should bring up a list of connections if any exist and tell you if they are secured or open (ie public access) like down at the local Starbucks.  If there's one out there you can then connect to it, and give it a test drive to see if it is fast enough for what you need.

  After that  (if all goes well) you could then install a wireless network card in your desktop, or plug in a USB dongle and choose that as your preferred device on startup.  Then repeat the search (like you did with the laptop) and you should be in business.
Then you can call the cable boys and have the internet services terminated and get the adjustment to your cable bill accordingly.

  We run a large wireless network here at the house and even with everyone online it sure seems fast enough for the 7 clients we are supporting..... well except for the Googletalk issue of mine  that still hasn't corrected itself.   If it seems confusing, shoot a query in Devon's direction and I'm sure he can assist.
