Bummed about that Normtheguitar. Looking forward to meeting the mystery guest in person, seeing old friends, and meeting some new ones. Looking forward to introducing Bee rad to my dear friend Jefferson. Anywhere else it'd knock his socks off, but it's Florida so I guess Jefferson will knock his flip flops off.

Re: Guitar center to close (6 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Where will all the legends in their own garage play now?
The problem with Guitar Center is three fold in my opinion. 1. Inventory carrying costs. 2. They treat their customers as if they are thieves. 3. Their staff - except every once in a while in the high end acoustic guitar room - doesn't know their stock, or at least is unwilling to share that information.

That sounds good UJB. I have been thinking of another Shenandoah or New River deal as well. I'm also hoping to host Topdown up here some time over the summer and we'd likely set up a camp on the Potomac. If that works out, I'll let you know DE. I use the campground where Ogbuddha used to have the Gatherodeos, which is now owned and operated by one of the local river outfitters.

bluejeep wrote:unclejoe, I lived in Pennsylvania most of my life so I know how cold and hard winter can be in your area. The only thing I miss is fishing in the beautiful Susquehanna river.
Some of the tributaries up north are even better than the river. Three that come to mind are the Loyalsock, Lycoming and Pine Creeks. Spent many a lazy evening at all three back in the day.
Our snowstorm has been downgraded. Yesterday we had 4"-8" of snow in the forecast for Sunday night into Monday morning. It's now a light coating of snow, changing to sleet, freezing rain and then just plain rain. Looks like I won't be putting the plow on the truck tomorrow.
I fished all those creeks, plus Fishing Creek, Beech Creek, Bald Eagle Creek, Penns Creek and Little Pine. There are a few creeks near where you live now that I'd like to fish. They haven't got the famous names or nearly as well documented as the ones above so I won't mention them by name, but you probably know some I'm thinking of. How about when the weather report is more pleasing we get together - wading or in my canoe - and do some picking afterwards?

Hmmmmm. I used to have 70's Epi 6 string. It was a nice guitar. We've been meaning to get together for some picking anyway. I wouldn't mind giving it a strum and a going over.

Re: New home for Ol' Reliable (15 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Ol' Reliable is my Yamaha. It's a good guitar, but I don't play it. Instruments should be played. I bought a Breedlove OM Retro from Dirty Ed a few years ago that's my travel and campfire guitar.
12 string is looming large. I have a dreadnought that likes my finger picking, the Breedlove is a good all around guitar, and I have an electris SG knockoff that I'm beginning to use to learn lead and blues, so a 12 string would fit nicely as a strummer.

Topic: New home for Ol' Reliable (15 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
My neighbor wants to learn guitar, so Ol' Reliable is out on semi-permanent loan. He brought a bottle of The Glenlivet 15 year old scotch in exchange for an introduction to good lesson sites, and I presume down payment on future lessons. We put a fair dent in it for a Tuesday night. Now I have a hole on my rack, and I'm thinking either 12 string or The Loar acoustic archtop...

In the words of a mutual friend of Dirty Ed and I, "I'll be there with bells on. And pants. Pants would be good."
Joking aside, it's a terrific charity and I really do wish you fantastic success.

They're for ukes. I have them on my bas and found I liked fingers better. I tried on my six string but the steel strings tore it up. I didn't care for the sound either. I prefer a bright, clean sound.

I'd be up for a boat ride and would kick in a few bucks towards it.
Watching Toney work while we sip adult beverages by the sea is appealling. I guess it depends on where Roscoe is...
If anyone would like to try kayaking, I'd be willing to give an intro lesson. It would have to be very intro because I've only paddled open water like that twice. I have spent many hours paddling rivers and used to be a real canoe instructor.
Finally, if you've got a grill at your house Topdown, I'm willing to make up some hot wings now that LBP is just in our memories.
