highway29------Good guess but it is neither. The timeframe does coinside with Benny Hill, though.

I raise my glass to toast and shout a hearty "here,here!". Welcome,DC.

Socks-------Does this mean you are going to delay your release of "I Was A Teenage Sea Monkey"? Just curious.

"Do you believe in the hereafter?" YES "Then you know what I'm here after." (slap)

As clues go, that would certainly seem to be "the big one".

Garth-----Good news. Album Rock still lives. They bounce it around off of satellites these days. (Can't help with the hair thing,though.)

The Trunk Coordinator visiting the twigs PS He would have known how long it had been in the room if he had worn his "Guitar Watch".

Henceforth let the frivolity be "diminished" and the insight be "augmented". :)

dmiller-------Thanks for making the effort to "fiddle around" with that. :)

1973----Johnny is :( & Twiggies say & Lots of this: follows 2006-----Johnny stumbles upon GSC & does this: Johnny says this to TWI:

If you get one of those in a child size, does it display in cut time? Here's a cool one for music students(of all ages): A watch that is set up in the circle of fifths. It shows Majors, relative minors and sharps and flats. It's not a high quality piece of jewelry but it is still useful even after it quits working as a timepiece. I don't know how to do links and whatnot but you can find them at www.musictreasures.com. They run about $40.

Waitress:" How is the chicken,sir? Customer: "Fine,it tastes just like rattlesnake." Actually, I have had black bear. To me it tasted like roast beef with waaaay too much salt. Btw------If you should ever cook bear, be sure to cook it fully as bears are known to carry trichinosis which is a particularly unpleasant parasite.

The browness of your body in the fire glow Except the places where the sun refused to go our bodies were a perfect fit in afterglow we lay

Wooden Ships CS&N(with Y peeking through the window due to contractual issues) Holding you closely, undisturbed, before the fire. The pressure in my chest when you breathed in my ear. We both knew this would happen when you first appeared.

dmiller--------I too used to drive quite a lot as part of my job. Much of it was rural and we didn't have cell phones or GPS. Asking for directions was a necessity not a choice. I found that most people were eager to help.It made them feel productive and it got me where I needed to be. How can that be a bad thing? On a sidenote,though, I once stopped in a convenience store and asked the young lady behind the counter for directions. She told me to "go about a couple of miles past where Grandpaw's old swimmin' hole used to be and turn right where they cut down the big pine tree last year." :( I wanted to laugh but I realized no one would benefit from that. I probed a little deeper and got some route numbers and major intersections that proved to be the information I needed. Of course, it just occurred to me that perhaps your post was metaphoric. :)

YIdon't--------Anger is like a thief. It will steal from you whatever it can whenever the opportunity presents itself. If you choose to avoid the doctrinal discussions so be it, but you must ask yourself if you have done so by your own choice or if anger has twisted your arm and forced you into submission. Roy------I don't always understand your posts but they never fail to give me food for thought. Holy hugs to ya,Bro!

CONSCRIPT: To enroll by compulsion for military or naval service. To recognize that you were conscripted is a big step in the right direction toward dealing with the problems it undoubtably caused. IMO.

It's really a classic case of supply and demand. Audiences in general have demanded for stand-ups to push the envelope and the stand-ups have responded by giving the customers what they want . I am speaking in general terms because my exposure to the cited incident has been second hand via the media. In no way do I excuse Richards for his actions but I think audiences that have fostered this type of language and behaviour must be willing to share in some of the guilt in knowing this is the type of product they have been endorsing . ps-----Cathy Griffith ain't funny either, she's just mean hearted.(IMO)

I'm going to backpedal for a moment. Mark had asked for studies involving the socialization of only children. I tried to post on this yesterday but something went amiss and my post vanished. I haven't looked at this topic for quite some time but one place that may offer some insight is www.utexas.edu. There you will find information on Toni Falbo,PhD. who has studied this subject extensively. This is neither a plug for nor against the information found there. It is simply a suggested starting point.

Somber news to report in Guitarland. Last night at the age of 91, Robert Lockwood Jr. passed away in Cleveland Ohio after suffering a stroke earlier in the month. Many people will not instantly recognize his name because he spent much of his life as a sideman and session player behind the likes of Little Walter, Sonny Boy II, Roosevelt Sykes and Sunnyland Slim. He was a mentor of sorts to B.B. King. Early on, he was known as Robert "Jr." Lockwood because he learned to play under the tutelage of Robert Johnson and so was known as Robert "Jr." He was awarded 4 W.C. Handy Awards and 2 Grammy nominations. Robert could make one guitar sound like three as he wove together lead, rhythm and bass run all while delivering the soulful vocals that were so much a part of his style. Robert was active all the way til the end having played a gig at Fat Fish Blue just last month and a tour abroad in the summer. No one could make a twelve string sound as sweet and inviting as Mr. Lockwood could. His chord voicings and rhythm phrasings made his playing instantly recognizable. He was truly a pioneer and played a very large part in shaping what was to become the music of generations to follow.

"kerfuffled"?-------- :blink:

Socks-------Teeny almost always does that tune in her shows, not to capitalize, but to pay homage to her dad. And did I mention the lady has some pretty heavy vocal talents of her own? She and Sean seem to click on stage like "peas and carrots". Check out his guitar work and offer an opinon if you don't mind. I think he passed the "look at me" phase long ago.

Ck--------Sean is back on the road at the moment but he will be in town on 12/23 for one more 2006 show.He will be playing at that club owned by " you know who's" father in law. I'm up for it. Oh! DialThis had his Spacetone tweeked by a guitar tech. so I'm anxious to see the results. He asked me to send his regards as his access to" da web" is quite limited at the moment.

Polar Bear---------I really can't comment on Sirius because I haven't listened to it very much. I have had XM for about 2 years now and it kicks the beans out of broadcast radio. There are over 125 music stations alone not to mention comedy, sports, kids etc. The music stations have no commercials. They have a 60's station, a 70' station , an 80's station, etc. What I have found is that just like regular radio you find your favorites and spend most of your time on those. For me, I spend my time on the blues and jazz stations as well as the '60s station. Here's an example: At Christmas they will have about 6 or 7 Christmas music stations. One will be classics, one will be novelty, one will be country, one will be a mix of all the above and so on. You can listen on line for a few days to try them out for free. I think Sirius offers a similar promotion. You have an initial investment in your receiver,etc. plus a start up fee (I think about $10) and a monthly fee which is about $13. Additional tuners on the same plan are about $7 monthly. People at work have aked me why I would pay for what I can already get on regular radio. I just chuckle because the answer to that is you CAN'T get it on regular radio. Also, because it is sent out on satellite feed, you can listen to the same station uninterupted from NYC to LA. Can you imagine going from cable TV back to regular broadcasts? Me neither.

What ever happened to roast goose or duckling or even capon, for that matter? All excellent choices if prepared correctly. And what about bread pudding and rice pudding? And sweet potato pie? I'll take that over pumpkin pie any day.
