MOWLIE - Yes I can totally appreciate that but why keep your fans waiting outside for 2 hrs???

To wait outside was your decision. Joe had nothing to do with it. I understand that it would not have taken that long, but it's 5 for you , then 5 for someone else, and so on. Where do you say "Stop?" It doesn't matter where because there will always be someone that gets left out. Better luck at the next show!!

MARIMARI - Saw the pics from EU. Has the smile calmed down yet? All this Jimmy Buffet talk has me wanting a Cheeseburger in Paradise!!

BRO - When you get those pics up send them out that would be great to see. Happy 200th.

How about Frank Gambale for a G3? He's a sweep pickin' fool.

Michelle - LOL, That has a better swing to it than Pop music that's for sure.

VLAD - Try this they have a lot from beginning to advanced http://www.ibanez-guitar-players.net/index.htm

FRENCH FRIES - Who knew they were actually French or Belgian http://www.stim.com/Stim-x/9.2/fries/fries-09.2.html

DCK - Canada Day. Does that include Quebec?

MISCHEVIOUS - It was a great idea.

DCK - Now I'm curious . What is the big stink. Is it just the fact that Quebec is French dominated , but yet Canada is still part of the Crown? Please elaborate. Thanks. How's the band coming?

ROB - I got your back homes. And I don't get offended by anything or get too excited. Like I said I was trying to be nice and still posted a fairly reserved post. But if youi want I can find something later on to unload on her for I'm sure LOL How do you two know each other?

Miss Cheeky Vious - The chat sounds like fun. I've only been in twice. It sounds like you have a bit of the smart ass runnin through you. That's good. When you guys go in give a post and I'll see if I can catch you. Late.

CLARKY - Great advice on mental visualization/physical application. Did you get the gig?

SUPPADAVE - Don't eat the canolli !!!!

JAZZY BOY - Your killing me!!! lol. Canolli oil for wrestling.

OCPS470 - Frankestien would be very cool. That song is awesome!! I was actually asked to play that at a wedding.

JSJS - The key to tapping, as well as slide, is learning to mute the strings that you are not using. That goes for arpeggios as well.

Mr.NICK - For some strange reason I thought that joke was much funnier than my wife did. Don't understand why. LOL

AMERICAN IDOL STRIKES AGAIN. The high hopes of finding a singer were dashed again last night with another AI reject. The worst part is that his girl freind (who was there) did not stop him. This was horrible. He did have a greart quote as he was leaving;

"SINGING WITH A REAL BAND IS A LOT HARDER THAN KARIOKE." All I could think was, " sigh, No shit>" Well try again next week.

ROB - Sorry I can't help with the negected rest of you. Not my cup of tea. It is a bad day for a Brit to get chippy with an American. Therefore, as to the weddding, who's to say I would want to go. The thought of a bad version of' Four Weddings and a Funeral' is going through my head. Bad English food and and peoople talking like I'm on the set of 'Are You Being Served'. AAAAGGHHH, The horror.

JS_JS - That royally sucks. But I guess if you learned something from it That's the important part. (spoken like a true parent) For you at least the stuff that was lost is replacable. I have had things be thrown away that were not. So I understand your feelings and then some. Good luck with your new password protected profile. One other tip. Make yourself the administrator so that the toads can't override the password. Late.

Miss cheecky vious and Rob - Where are you guys? I up for a little banter tonight. Oh well, I'll just go back to celebrating us kickin your ass. Nighty, night. Beckham for PM!!

JS_JS - That's good to hear. Good luck or restoring your collection.

mischievous - Slovenia. I'll have to say that I don't know that much about it other than it's between Italy, Croatia, and Austria. Other that that I'm in the dark. What is the food like? As for soccer, footie. what ever you call it. I, being the ugly american, don't like the game and don't care about it. I was trying to be a smart ass about England losing on a penalty kick and the fact that we (America) were celebrating our independece yesterday. Therefore, the kicked your ass reference. I was going on the assumption thast you guys were English since Rob posts in from there. As for the girls/sisters I am happily married (10 yrs) with 2 daughters. So, thanks, but no thanks.

ROB - It would seem like maybe she needs to work on her flute playing to get you to move away from England. Wife and kids would love to go, but I'm not eating any gruel. I'm getting a 1000 this summer. I played one for about three hours at tyhe music store a while ago and really liked it. The next purchaser though is new pick ups for my RG. Still working on summer song. Late.

AUSTIN - No, we haven't given up the search (yet). You must have missed my plea for help yestyerday. We're still looking for both bass and vocals. You're not planning to move to Portland are you (hint, hint)?

Tyler500 - Try this site. It has a lot that should keep you busy for a couple years http://www.ibanez-guitar-players.net/index.htm

MICHELLE - Hang in there!! None of that shit makes sense to me either. There are just somethings in life that we will never understand. All we can do is do what we can to make ourselves and our offspring the people we can.

TO ALL - I'm beta testing a new tuner. If any of you have gripes, praises or features you would like to see in a tuner, post them or email me civgeek@yahoo.com and I will relay your thoughts. Thanks for the help.

ROB - Does this mean I need to take back my tickets to Slovenia? Seriously, sorry to hear . Remember there are more women in the world than men. yeehaw!!

BRITS and SCOTS - Here in the North West we call people that act like that assholes.

Mahavishnu - Damn dude you must have wanted to see them bad to make that journey. Isn't that like an 8-10 hour drive? Are you coming out for the show in Sept?

Michelle - We're all here for you even with that lookin-to-the-left-for-spiders drum face of yours. ;-)

ALL- Got a couple responses on the tuners (Thanks Austin and Simon) if there is more feed them up.

Rob - Sorry I missed you in chat Late.

NOPPA - Congrats on the 36. I hear you on the amount of laundry that kids produce. Me I can wear the same chonies for a week. :-) Sounds like you need to be listening to "Watchin the Clothes Go Round" from the Pretenders.

ROB - The 60 mile /60 minute rule... nice!!! Having em spaced appropriately lets you cruise aroun the country like James Bond. OOh Yea.

Miss cheeky - All men need some attention.
