CF myspace still says: "unsigned"

If I had a label I'd bang on their door to sign them! Right now! Today!

scuby - my office is only a couple of km from Albert Park where the GP is, the track is actually around Albert Park Lake, should Google Earth it see the size of it.

From tomorrow we will hear all the screaming of the cars going round in practice and warmups. Friends who work in offices around the perimeter of the lake will have GP parties on the rooftops of the office blocks and watch the cars going round. Also get heaps of aircraft going overhead for the whole 4 days. I'll watch it on TV it's 5pm Sunday this year to cater for the international audiences more.

Skippy, you been playin' since late December?..I'll bet by Christmas you will have a nice song or two that you can play well,..might want to learn some Christmas tunes..

burly... I'll let you know!

burly - let's hope you're right. Here's something new I learnt last night -

1. electric guitars are really heavy if you are standing up, and the strap rubs your neck
2. if you stand up the neck keeps falling down toward the floor and you have to try to keep the neck up and play the notes at the same time
3. when you stand up the guitar body is REALLY vertical unlike when you sit and hunch over it, and you don't get as good a visual of the first 3 strings compared to sitting down with head bent over it
4. I can't become a rock goddess without standing up so somehow I have to conquer 1,2 and 3 :0)

Thanks Roo.....You're the best....."The dots are where I say they are"....:-)

Skippy- the tele is heavy...You are a tiny one aren't you?...I'm guessing you have the strap adjusted all the way in.?.?.I am a player not a teacher so if any of you others have a different idea, fire away, but...I would concentrate on learning sitting down if you can't cure the problem with the strap. You don't need that distraction, and besides as you learn you will " feel " where you are on the neck, and then you can make the transition to standing.

Hey Joe,

I just wanted to thank you for all the great tunes you have given the music world. You are a truly talented man. I'm sure you hear this all the time however it doesn't change the facts. Your music inspires generations of upcoming musicians and that is a rare side effect now a days. I've been jamming along with your songs for years and it has taught me many things. Melodic phrases are the most important not just raw speed. Note selection in any given scale that applies creates the tone and gives it the soul and thoughtful consideration the song demands. Rubina is a perfect example of the afore mentioned theories.(Love that tune.)

Also your humble disposition is a refreshing change from the ego driven Rockstars that we all know. Thanks again for all the memories.

Peace,
