Gidday,
I`m thinking of getting a sound hole pick up for my acoustic guitar.
Have you got one? what do you think of it?
What is a good brand.

Dino, i see you are from California, the Eagles(usa) rugby team is in the the world sevens competition.
don`t know if you realise this, as i don`t think they get much media,
Your team is getting stronger every year and now ranked in the top 10.
One of the rounds every year, in the comp is in Las Vegas.

yeah , i think the movie you saw was the Clint Eastwood one. Invictus stared Matt Damon.
It was about the world cup final, told from the South Africian viewpoint.
New Zealand say they where poisioned before the final,this was not mentioned in the movie
as it was about Nelson Mandela & South Africian rugby.
interesting to see so many NZ players throwing up on the field.

I guess i`m not the only one who has paid for the same recording many times over.
I`ve got Beatles songs in vinyl, tape,cd, & now mp3, not bad for the hard done by record companies.

gidday.
I see the recording industry is complaining again about free downloaded music,they say they are being ripped off.
There are many artists from the 50`s & 60`s that would say the same happened to them(getting ripped off by the record co`s )
funny, what comes round go`s round

Gidday,

My friends kid got a guitar for xmas,i said i`d show them some chords ect.

any easy well known songs you can recommend?I could go the folk song way,but i really want to
grab this kids attention enough to get her going to take it further.
