Google"Chickenfoot Sammy" You will find a vid clip from a movie, I believe it is Prison Break..? not sure on the title,..Do you think the guys were clowning around with Sammy and thus the name stuck?..I guess we will have to get Sammy to tell if that one is true.
Hope everyone had a great weekend..Thanks guys for helping young Zack K out. He will forever remember that. Keep it up buddy..music is the bomb..Just curious,..are you involved in the music program in your school?...I encourage my 14 year old who really does not like the trumpet very well,..she never practices and makes 1st chair. Sometimes I don't think she is listening but I do see evidence that some of it is getting through...So Zach take my advice and use every opportunity to advance musically and it will transfer into your ability to advance with your guitar.
Have a great week.

Michelle,..ditto on the sinuses,..try living in Arkansas with this killer humidity,..Anyway try this,..Mix a warm salt water solution, and I mean salty,..Take a syringe and squirt it into each nostril, let it set for a couple of minutes, you may want to bend your head down over the bathroom sink. Do this a couple of times a day until you are clear, and then once a day,..I know it sounds unbearable but it WILL cure your sinus probs. Oh and use distilled water.

Burly, thanks. I have a neti pot and I really should use it more. It got warm and humid here the past two days and that doesn't help. I did use my saline nose spray today, but I should have started yesterday. To busy taking care of others and didn't take care of myself.
Good tune!

Joe..Just curious, I shave my head because there is nothing left on top, and what I have is turning really gray, so I have shaved my head daily for ten years. Did you do it because your hair was thinning or just to get the cool look? Because you know to pull that off, it takes a special head. I hear Paul Stanley is bald and has to wear a hairpiece. I just could not imagine Paul with a shaved head. And where do you get those cool hats? I can't find anything like them anywhere.

Blue_Moon, I hope we are almost out of the cold weather here. Some of the trees are starting to bud. I have a friend who just traveled to Germany, Italy, France and Holland. (He won a trip,.the lucky dog.) I think I would like to visit all of these places including U.K., Ireland and Spain, BUT I do not want to go in the winter. Anyway if this economy will turn around, maybe one day I can visit these places. The closest I have been to experiencing these places is at Disney's Epcot. LOL..Maybe a warmup is just around the corner for you.

Our winters are pretty tame compared to other places in the world, same with summer and infact all the seasons, autumn is quite nice though, spring aint quite here yet, got a lil snow today too, some wind rain and the usual grey depressing sky jazz... pretty clear night with the moonlight poking through
i was in berlin a few weeks back... was bitter cold, once again its another place that has much harsher winters than us, but we'll complain regardless i guess... all those places you mentioned are nice, i was lucky to be in all of em, gotta love a bit of culture from time to time, rome is one of my favourite places too, amsterdams a must, so's paris too and berlin of corse... uk's like ireland, spain is very nice too
and yeah mike thats the one alrite, good read

"Every party needs a pooper, that's why we invited you, party pooperrrrrr...."

Scubadaz:- I totally agree with your views on the Wolf.Thanks for sayin' it simpler and better than i ever could.
Cube:- I'm not worried if Wolfie comes to Oz. Personally, I'd love to meet the guy in the flesh coz better to judge a person you know rather than a faceless name on web. I guess I'm just concerned for his state of mental well being. As i said, I've lived with someone with schizophrenia, so my concern is genuine. By the way, thanks for your concern about my sacks contents! And yeah,you're right about McKenna being scarier. Anyone who willingly does to their body what he has is definitely more dangerous than Wolfie!!!! LOL!!!
Still love ya though,Al ;-) C'MON AUSSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Al, what sort of weird addicted/obsessive fan would fly around the world to attend concerts?
You'd have to be a right nutter.

If you have a method of minimising cost, then you'd take it wouldn't you? You'd be made to pass up a legend concert if it doesn't take much money to go see it.

Hey Abdul: All I can say is "Build in and they will come"...
Not sure if any of them will bring a guitar from Joe, but I'm pretty sure someone will go there.

scubadaz: Ok, how tight should the pressure pad screws be? Obviously I've got them tight, but how do you know if they're too tight?
maritime: Don't worry, you can never look gay to us...unless you start talking about, er, no.
Interesting factoid for the day: the German word for diarrhoea is 'durchfall', which when translated literally means 'through fall'. Nice.

T - how was the movie?? You and Mum alright hehe?
Saw Gran Torino last night, really enjoyed it, so different from your average "Clunk" movie and great ending.
Joe - the fretboard (to this Dummy) is like a 'magic eye" picture. Hidden all over it are heaps of related notes, or families of notes, but positions of them all escape me. Was it the same for you when you first began?
I'm going to make dozens of photocopies of the fretboard diagram and mark out all the groups, scales, key signatures etc. so I can start to memorise where they are instead of counting up the frets from the open string notes etc.
And how the heck do you know which G (or any other note) it is from the musical notation?? Which string??? aarrgghhhhhh...................
