My song-writer friends tell me I'll never be satisfied writing about someone that close.

Oh I don't know if I'd agree with that. One of the 1st songs I ever wrote was about my son, and I'm completely happy with it.
I gotta tell ya, this thread is chock full of win, and makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
And I've not even started drinking yet!

Frederick, Maryland.
Far from where you are, sadly.Only 1/2 hour drive from me, though. My resume is pretty freakin' weak. A quick summary: I suck at singing (but do it anyway, often loudly). I play out-of-practice blues bass poorly, out-of-practice-and-never-that-good-to-start-with country and folk harmonica, and sissified-70's-folk/pop acoustic strumming with a little fingerpick I make up on the spot (but without the neat little whiznits or any sort of recognizable melody that make the songs actually sound good). Not too appealing.
There ya go.
That resume, and a case of beer, and you two will be Big Rawk Stars in no time at all! 
If someone thinks big hands is a contradiction to playing mando, I encourage them to check out Mike Marshall. That dude has cartoonishly large mits, and he's one of the best players in the world.
Where are you at, man? I'll jam with you.
I don't think Griffey has that much more ball in him. He's gotten pretty big and is playing the DH spot right now, where he'll probably stay. His days of spider man out in center field are long gone.
We love him here, though, so having him go out in a Mariners uniform will be a banner day.
You know what gives me freaky dreams? Duck. Seriously. I love duck, too. All that crispy delicious goodness, but every time I eat it, I have the most bizzare dreams.
i can't believe you mean that statement, but then again, i suppose death in the imagination is better than in real life?
phill
I very much mean it. All the best songs have someone getting shot, or someone killing someone, usually ending up in prison. Violent death has been a staple of country and blues music for decades.
Fulsom Prison Blues
Don't Bring Your Guns to Town
Thunder Rolls
Banks of the Ohio
Miller's Cave
Any of the thousand songs about Stack Lee and his white Stetson hat.
Hey Joe (where you going with that gun in your hand?)
And those are just some of my favorites. The list goes on and on!
It's even better if there's a hanging at the end.
The dude that sang for Smashing Pumpkins. Worst band in the history of bands.
Ken Griffey Jr back in a Mariners uniform makes me very very happy. Watching him belt a homer on opening day was perfect.
I love songs where people get killed.
Baseball is the greatest game on Earth.
Three words: Tube, tube, tube.
So I just got back from rehearsal, where I introduced this one to the band. It came together better than I had imagined. Next week I'll bring the recorder in and get it down in MP3, live from the basement.
My day job deals with social networks, and mySpace is getting killed by Facebook. Besides the terrible interface, and the general slowness of the site, they've allowed the poor engineering to color their decisions about which features people want.
Musicians want a place to put their work on display, not status updates and mood.
I've been spending my free time working through the Reaper manual, and editing some of the recordings that I make on my MR-8. I've been using Reason for a while, and it's great for creating digital music, and the interface is absolutely unsurpassed, but for editing raw music files, it's less than stellar.
And while I don't think it's quite up to Protools standards, it is absolutely appropriate for what I'm doing with it, particularly at it's price point. I'm using "Thursday's Child" as my gunea pig. So far, so good.
I'm curious about the algorithm. Could you tell us about it here?
First let me say I am self taut and this is my first time using these forms. So bear with me.
You are right. There is a little more to it than just sliding the numbers over. You must keep the same interval or distance between notes. So lets now look at the key of "D"
Key of "D" (note: on sheet music the key is shown using {##})
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
D E F# G A B C# (notice you now have two # notes)
w w h w w w h (note w=whole step ~ h=half step)
That about sums it up. There is a sticky post on how scales are formed, and how they relate to each other.
If you want to take the next step, find out how that interval pattern can be used to play seven separate scales. It's in there, too!
My hearing isn't good for much beyond 192kb, but I can hear a difference from 128, particularly in the high end. Cymbal crashes and snare pops particularly.
Well, I managed to score the 42" flat screen, but no monitors. 
It appears i owe you an Apology Jerome.
Not at all my dear! Sometimes we find ourselves in that comic space where one word has two meanings, and the best thing to do is laugh.
all scales (as far as I know) are based off the "C" major scale.
C~D~E~F~G~A~B~C that is also Do~Ray~Me~Fo~So~La~Te~DO
also look at the distance between notes (hole step ~hole~hole~half~hole~hole~half
all hole notes no sharps or flats. Now number the notes 1 thu 7.
now put numbers 1-4-5~ 2 & 6 together (C,F,&G ~D & Aminor)
now you have the chords for the key of "C"
To make a "C" chord your triad would be 1~3~5 (C-E-G) those notes played together make a "C" chord
for other keys just slide you numbers over
For a clearer understanding look up the nashville number system
All major scales, including C major, are based on that interval pattern. They aren't based on any one tonic, though.
I saw him a couple of years ago. He's showing his age, but he still puts on a great show. Hugely entertaining.
If you can convince the lady(and I'm sure you will find a way
) that sounds like a good plan,once you have recorded playback should be no problem I use some logitech PC speakers I paid $25 for and the bass comes out fine so long as you dont crank the p*** out of um, and with decent speakers it oughta sound great

I've had a mild case of GAS for recording and mixing stuff. Sweet Irish Thing is coming in a few days to buy furniture for the house. She's also buying a TV, so my master plan is to convince her that so long as we're sporting for the Stoopid Box, we may as well get some nice *cough*speakers*cough* and call it an entertainment center.
I've got some Logitech too, and they sound like crap. I over drive the snot out of 'em, even if all I'm doing is playing the acoustic through the Amp.
