I too didnt play for a while.Believe it or not,it was the tab sites that got me back in.All this music at my fingertips.Now i have 5 three ring binders full of tabs at my disposal.When I get too stressed there is nothing like playing to relieve it.Makes you(as in me) appreciate it even more when you get back to playing on a regular basis.WELCOME TO CHORDIE

I bought the trick black soap and the 8 foot frankenstein monster from the same comic book ad.The black soap was a piece of black something held in by a sticker.The frankenstein was an 8 foot piece of plastic with a picture of the frankenstein monster on it.My parents wouldnt let me tack it up on the walls of their brand new house and tape wouldnt hold it up.If you look on the back of the box of the Gretsch Americana series it has a spoof of those ads.One cool thing was the batman periscope from a box of Kelloggs OKs cereal.My mother sent away for it for me.Anyone remember that.Yogi Bear was on the box

The conversation is getting too depressing because of my Amy Winehouse post.Lets lighten it up.Remember watching commercials when you were small.Then you got the product and it didnt happen like in the commercial.I don`t mean toys or products that dont perform like in the commercial.I mean the stuff that cant ever happen.After bugging my mother to get Imperial margarine,I ate some and didn`t get a big crown with the music.Another one is when I opened a bottle of Ajax and a white tornado didnt come out.The most recent was in 2002 when my daughter(gabbytrout)asked me to get her fruit gushers.She braced up and her head didnt turn into a piece of fruit like in the commercial.What commercial gave you all your first dose of reality?

It`s amazing what a guitar can do.And it has nothing to do with music.Like a common bond.

Nothing more.It is a shame that someone could die at 27.A waste of talent.Sounds awful to say but it is true.

I forgot what the discussion(argument) was about,but my wife said"if you feel that way,why did you marry me?"I said "it seemed like a good idea at the time".Poor choice of words.Some people have no sense of humor sometimes

heres one for ya,"there are times I think my hands would look nice wrapped around my wife`s neck but I dont act upon it".Long story.48 hrs on msnbc had a guy who killed his father.He said he saw the extension cord and thought it would look nice wrapped around his neck so he did it.Thats when I texted the comment to my friends and bandmates.One thought I was serious and things werent the same after that.Oh I am not in that band anymore.

dont let finger pain discourage you.It wont last forever.And of course practice practice practice.My own daughter got through the pain and now doesnt feel a thing.Take your time and keep trying.Just remember that every player started out the same way.Good luck. I KNOW YOU WILL DO GOOD.

I just did that with my laptop.I took a sledgehammer to it.Then threw it in the trash.Why you ask.It stopped working after I spilled a full mug of coffee on it.It was completely gone.It was destroyed because I had personal information on it.If someone could get it and fix it,the info would be there.Now it cant be fixed. If the Who played with laptops instead of guitars,that is what it would be like.Also,they dont break easy.I threw it off my deck into the driveway and it didnt damage it.That is when the sledge came in.Now its dead along with my info

variable lenses are what I wear.Not that I have a choice.After a while reading glasses just didnt cut it.They did for reading but not for seeing.I did put up a fight until I was 44.Then I had to admit defeat and buy reading glasses.

Has anyone ever seen that show"HOARDERS" on T.L.C. They have had a marathon all weekend.Makes me look into my music room and want to get rid of things.So far I have given away a RAM amp from canada.A sears silvertone acoustic (the sunburst one) that how many had for thier first guitar.(mine was).A sears acoustic,a peavey acoustic(the one with the bridge),A burswood electric and a Fender ag-10 sn.The one with the 6 in one headstock.Next is some furniture and antique toys and games. I still have 8 others plus 6 amps left.Not to mention the trouts things(she is not wanting for anything).Back to the original subject.I am not a hoarder but I didnt know how easy it is to build up so much stuff.I am hoping to get the music room back into a usable space again.We play down there now but with more room down there it will just make it easier.My original plan was to decorate it like an applebees or 5 & diner so I accumulated all these old things.Some I will keep but most will be gone soon.Anyone else run into this situation and how do you handle it.

I only own them.I bought them for others to use.I really have no desire to play the things.Mainly when other drummers want to play.I can say that I have a kit they can use.Although I did fool around a little with them.Probably have a better chance to be the next Buddy Rich than the next Carlos Santana  HA HA HA
