PFields - I have always been much more an Ibanez guy. I have never been a fan of the gibson style neck. It always feels like you're trying to play a tree.
Where is Claremore? I have family in Purcell which is just outside of Norman.

Ethan Listened to your tracks. Great job!! I'm up that a way a few times a year. I'll give a holla' next time i'm that way. We could even get a few of the people from the NW together for a jam session. More on that at another time.

IM TELLIN YOU SATCH>>>A CANADIAN TOUR WOULD BE INCREDIBLE> REACH OUT TO US CANADIANS THROUGH THE POWER OF MUSIC<<<<

For those of you in Liffie Land or like me and have a strange facination with the land of Eire

BORDEAUX, France (AFP) - French archaeologists said this week they had discovered an exceptional Gallic war treasure in the south of the country, including rare war trumpets and ornate helmets.
The some 470 objects, or fragments of objects, were found at the end of September during a dig at Naves, in the department of Correze in southern France, in a ditch hollowed out of a Gallic-Roman temple, they said.
"The exceptional character of this discovery lies mainly in the presence of five almost complete carnyx," Christophe Maniquet, an archeologist at Inrap, France's national institute for Archeological studies, said.
"They are celtic war trumpets which were used to scare off the enemy, by confusing the battle," he said.
He said it was the first time these ceremonial musical instruments had been found in one piece. The long, bronze tubes, measuring more than two metres long, have flags on the end, four of which bear the head of a wild boar, the fifth a snake.
"In all, in the world, there have only been fragments of these instruments, in Scotland and Mandeure (eastern France). We only know these trumpets through drawings," he said, saying they had in particular been seen represented on coins.
The searches of the temple, including into the first occupations, which date back to the first century BC, started in September 2001.
In addition to the traditional warfare -- swords, sheathes and spearheads, the archaeologists made another special discovery: nine war helmets, of which eight in bronze and one in iron, with their rearpeaks.
One of them was particularly original, being decorated with a swan, while another was decorated with golden leaves.
"We have only found around 20 helmets in the territory of the ancient Gaul," Maniquet said.
The discovery does not end there.
Also unearthed in the search are bronze animals' heads -- boars and a horse.
"These animals could be war signs, placed at the end of the poles which guided soldiers during battles," he said.
There are only five kinds of this kind of sign.
Experts say the experts could be a real "war trophy", and appear to have been buried for religious reasons.
"The fact of having buried them amounts to a ritual of offering," he said.
Most of the collection has been sent to a laboratory in Toulouse to be cleaned, carefully studied by archaeologists and then restored.
"We hope to see these objects on show in a museum in two or three years' time," Maniquet said.

Stevee T:http://www.sevenbrassmonkeys.com/Roy.htm has my recorded work t date,its pretty expansive as regards style & never sits in one particular sound or style for 2 long,some peeps like this,some not.The idea was t try & keep the listener interested by giving something different every 4 mins or so,which i feel i,ve kind of achieved but i,m still not content with,anyway,waffle over,hope y enjoy bro

Steven- will check out the site again!! Sounds good. :-)

PFields- haven't got an Ibanez unfortunately, although it is on my list of things I need!

Zenfish:Tis the truth bro,music is very strange at times, i spent all day yesterday ironing out certain muscle memory issues with the hands t enable t play difficult passages without feeling tense,something Yahudi Menuhin talked about also comes t mind,he mentioned how he would obtain unbelievable speed perfectly co-ordinated & just as soon as it was realized it was lost.I find that interesting,in fact many talk of maintaining just what they have in order t pull the gig off.Another way he practiced violin was t stand outside somewhere quiet where there are no walls or stone t reverberate sound,that way y get pureness of tone & hear all the mistakes in your technique,making it easier t pin-point what t work on.I,ve tryed this & at first its so unbelievably depressing,however with a lot of patience & hard concentration,good results follow.

On rock...When D.L.R. left Van Halen,the fun in that vibe disappeared for me anyway,something that when Steve V joined up with him he engaged in again for a while, i really miss that in bands today.

I,ll be back in a few weeks bro,must get the head down again.

Edit:Zen:When y have a clear idea of what y want for your track,let me know.I can organize a band/studio here for y t rehearse & record.When its done i,ll post it t my site t put here on t2j,give me good notice ie 2 weeks in advance when y plan on visiting & i,ll try t work something out....no need t feel silenced

Zenfish:Friend.. my mood is calm & relaxed although extremely intense,without hard work,balance in my soul is not poss,something that i was born with & yes i see a Zen track up here in the future!

hello all. thanks for the birthday wishes. i have re-emerged to the internet after reports of some guy called 'khaos' over at guitars101.com posting some of my covers and original songs as his! after dealing with completely idiotic forum management who would not ban this guy, i thought i would return to somewhere where there are no idiots!
