My shirt's not here either. I know, I know, they don't make my size.

Must Be Destroyed is a Phenomenal record but beware of some of their other stuff. Bad production, lackluster songs. MBD is one for the ages though...

I thought the last Franz Ferdinand record was good, and I'm really digging the new Hot Hot Heat.

Congrats SD! I especially like the headstock...

Good grief! I had no idea you had to wait so long to reunite. He's safe now, and I'm sure your ex was scared and now shamed and embarrased by the event. Don't know what your custody deal is but if you ever wanted more time with Austin, now's your chance...

A Black Blitz with a Floyd and hockey stick head. Bought it used in '87 maybe? David B, I love your bands fan page on the web. You're having too much fun!

Major 7ths (I use them in Carpenters, Elton and Chigacgo tunes) always make it sound like I actually have some talent. Open tunings have the same effect...

Welcome to the joint!

While I can see why the question would be asked, I'm personally just plain thankful that I can hang a new Hamer USA guitar in my store, and get the support needed from the company to do what's good for my business. They don't owe me jack. When I *do* get hit with a "no we won't make TLE's" or "sorry, no Open House this year" all I have to do is think of the perks of being a Kaman dealer and becoming friends with my rep., Frank Ciavarro, and the sting is quickly relieved. I mean, hey. It beats having nothing but First Act guitar kits on the floor. That's not where I want to be...

BIG +1! Thank God.

Just saw on CNN. Missing family? E-mail hurricanevictims@cnn.com.

I was thinking about that when you posted in the other thread that you hadn't heard from them. Stay positive and let us know when you get in touch.

Congrats! Hey CM, seeing Dave brings back NAMM memories... Really nice!

Re: Freebird At a recent acoustic gig, someone shouted out the obligatory request for Freebird. The guy who was sitting in with me happened to have a huge book of lyrics, including Freebird. I did the whole song. Was kinda fun!

This also reminds me of doing an acoustic gig with my friend Todd (thegetawaycar.net). Dude is uber talented, and has no problem gettin a date. We where at Rock Bottom in Arlington, VA. Place is PACKED with hot hot girls. Many of them come up and request Jack Johnson, or Dave Matthews or something else that we have nothing to do with. This one girl keeps coming up and trying to talk to us WHILE WE'RE PLAYING. After about the third time Todd stops the song and proceeds to have a conversation with her on mic. Keep in mind he's not being jovial, he's downright angry and condecending to her. He asks her what she does for a living. She says she's a girls lacrosse coach. He says where do you work. She says blah blah blah school. He says "Tomorrow, I'm coming by your work, I'm going to get in the huddle, and start calling plays. How does that sound?" I thought that was classic. She finally chilled, for a bit anyway...

All great stories! An old band of mine was playing in Frederick, MD. Weeknight, big stage, pretty empty club. Some 'neck starts dancing by himself in front of our bass player making fun and accusing us of playing pussy disco shit or somethin (i think we where playing new girl now by honeymoon suite )... jon's not having it, so he tells the dude that if he doesn't beat it he's gonna dot his eye (jon can fight)... 'neck continues to chastize... jon, mid song, says "that's it", takes his bass off drops it on the stage, hops down and gets nose to nose with the guy, they eventually have at it, spilling out the front door in the process, we hop off, go outside and find the neck on top of jon holding jons hair and repeatedly punching him in the face, our rodie (who supposedly can also fight) pretty much did nothing to help, so i jump on the neck to pull him off Jon, necks neck girlfriend then jumps on MY back and sucker punches me in the side of my head, by that time the bouncers FINALLY stepped in and took the redneck couple away... hilarious

I'm glad you finally got it! And happy birthday...

Yeah, her singing was pretty scary, but she looked a bit like Kyra Sedgwick - who I've had the hots for in a big way ever since the movie Singles came out. She definately looked like Kyra...

I thought he was pretty good. Heroes was a good song to do...

I can tell I'll be digging this show. I'll bet Mark Burnett (show creator, from Australia, came up with Survivor) is pals with the band from way back.

I'm in of course...

Which one's Jim?

Ah. There's the rub.

RobB, I kinda get how you'd think that. Kiz, I *don't* get how you'd say that. The level of heartfelt emotion that night was through the roof. To me, emotion=energy. I mean, it wasn't concert for Layne (or Cliff, or Kurt, or Freddie). George's music is a bit mellower. Also, I have to sat that Ron looks GREAT in that pic, and much better than at Concert For George. Mini Matthi?

Chris Rich Steve Gorman (back since Atlanta) Marc Ford Ed Harsh Sven Pipien (original bassist before J. Colt) Porcha & Charity (backup singers-I believe those are their names)
