I was really saddened to hear it, although I knew it was coming sooner rather than later, in all likelihood....I knew she hadn't been well...and I know there had been some legal fighting regarding her money, etc.... awful stuff. Star Trek was one of my primary happy memories as a young...

I get to have oncology blood labs and CT Scans every 6 months....which means I start getting nervous and antsy every FIVE months...lol. This marked the completion of 3 years....and I'm so excited I'm telling EVERYONE...lol...I'll probably never get over the nervousness and nail biting...

Taking Chance was a really REALLY good movie....yeah....I teared up a bit in that one.

Not sure I'd pay that for the ability to go back in time and see The Beatles...... Ok....maybe...

It just makes me glad I got mine when I did......

Once I put carpeting in my house, shoes came off...and that goes for anyone that comes in. I do wear slippers sometimes, but as they don't ever go outside, they're ok...

Really enjoyed "Baby Let's Play House"....you hit that one solid....really caught the "feel".

When growing up, I probably heard a ton of Gretsch's being played on songs....but I didn't know enough to realize it....and it wasn't until around 1981 or 82 that I SAW my first Gretsch from a band I immediately idolized (Stray Cats).....so for me, "The Great Gretsch Sound" always equated to...

That seems like a bit much....but, shipping things HAS gotten pricey.....Recently, I was going to ship some items to my sister that had been my mother's.....The items.....maybe worth 2-300 dollars (guessing).....To ship them to California was going to cost over $400......I texted my sister, and...

Someone making a Gretsch guitar even prettier just puts a smile on my face....

It varies......assuming no opening act, and it's not one of these tours where there are multiple headliners (ie Poison, Motley Crue, Def Leppard).....I think 90 minutes to 2 hours is probably a good length......but, some bands I could certainly enjoy a 3 hour show from......and if I wanted less...

Years ago, I always wanted to write that.....magnum opus song.....the "Thick as a Brick" ala Tull, or more realistically, "Stairway to Heaven" ala Zep, or "The End" ala Doors..... But....lately, whether it's recording covers with a friend, or playing for some folks......I prefer ridiculously...

1) I'd go back to the 60s, and tell my Dad to start getting colonoscopies starting at 40 and every 3-5 years after. 2) I'd make a quick pitstop in the 80's to tell myself to study harder in college (and pick a major I actually have an interest in), and buy as much Amazon stock as possible as...

That's a sharp guitar.....a shame about the problems...but, it seems like workmanship isn't anyone's top priority anymore.....at least you had someone close by who could fix all the issues! Now get to playing! ;-)

I believe it was Benjamin Franklin (or maybe it was PeeWee Herman) who said "Neither a borrower nor a lender be" I never loan out anything.....for exactly the reason you say. And I never borrow anything gear related because I worry about damaging the item.

He's one of the very few that I (probably) WOULD pay the exorbitant ticket price to see....Happy 80th and hopefully many more

I'm just curious..... how many folks here have had gear stolen or "mysteriously disappear" at a gig or practice? I've never personally had it happen....but, I've heard other people mention stuff going missing in the past. (Granted, I wouldn't probably bring a super expensive guitar to play at...

About now, you're probably wishing you had taken up the flute instead.... ;-)

Be nice in your relationships, and ruthless in business....not the other way around.

This really bummed me out when I heard....always liked Ray Liotta....Goodfellas is one of my top 3 or 4 movies of all time....and I enjoyed his roles in several other films (No one ever seems to talk about "Copland", but top flight cast, and Ray's part was memorable). Still young...

If you can afford them without having to sacrifice necessities for your family, and you have the space to put them.....then you're good to go. ;-)

Was really surprised to hear it, this morning. Seemed like a good guy, and was a highly talented rock drummer. Too young.

Exactly....do whatever it takes for you to be able to play.....look at Tony Iommi.....cut the tips of his fingers off in an accident......figured out how to make "fake fingertips" and then tuned down to C# so that it didn't hurt....and it gave them a whole new sound. Django Reindhart was...

Congrats, man....it's a nice looking place!....I like the porch
