OK Dan, you got me sold! I'm going to have to get a kit myself! Sounds like it would be a blast just building the thing! Rick

Get a Job. Rick

You know, I always thought Carol King had a great voice but damn, her choice in songs really sucked. At least, in my opinion. Before we continue with the original versus remake topic, HERE is another video clip. Not as good quality as yours but a great jam. So who can name all the players in it? :) Rick

Dude, you got ripped off on that silent movie. I can't hear a word they're saying. Rick

Hey Sushi...can you post Winterwood? Rick

Easy! Just get over it! Oops, wrong thread. (Kidding....just kidding!) :) Rick

I can give you some web space if you like. Then you can just send her a link she can click and then save it to her hard drive. If you interested, send me a PM and I'll set you up. Rick

Restart the computer in safe mode and then try to delete it. In case you don't know how, as the computer is beginning to reboot, tap the F8 key. Keep tapping it until you are presented with a boot menu. Then select safe mode. It will look ugly, as you will only be in 16 color mode. This is ok. The next time you reboot normally, everything will look OK again. Once in safe mode, go to control panel, and select internet options. Then delete all your temporary internet files. Rick

If I get to the gathering together and see LCM and VPW, I'd have to quote Ned Flanders: "Dang, Heaven must be eaiser to get into than Arizona State." Rick

Playboy had articles? Rick

I do not recognize the theme song at all. But just from reading your discussions, it sounds like one of the actors was Bill Cosby, so was the show I Spy? Rick

Yep! That's it! Rick

Perfume came naturally from Paris (naturally) For cars she couldn't care less Fastidious and precise Rick

Didn't know he wrote Sloopy. I always thought Rock and Roll Hoochie Coo was like, the only song he ever did. :) Rick

OK, tuners! I have been looking at Peterson tuners for a long time now. I had a strobe tuner way back in the 70's (old school rotating disc type) and the Petersons "virtual strobe" tuners look way cool. Can't quite bring myself to spend that much for a tuner though, at least not right now. But in looking at it, it reminded me so much of my pocket pc, same basic size and shape, that I got to searching for strobe tuner software for the PPC. Well, I didn't find any. But what I DID find was THE STROBOPICK. This little dude is totally awsome! Maybe a cent or 2 less accurate than a Peterson, but the closest you will get for the price. I think I paid 30-35 dollars...don't remember for sure. Well, a month ago, I took it down to the local music store and my buddy who runs the place just thought it was the best thing since sliced bread! He was running around the store showing it to everyone there. So I go back to the strobopick webpage and see the message that is there now about being temporarily sold out. I sent the dude an email and found out that he was in negotiations with Planet Waves to market it for him and during that time they "worked around" his patent and are now selling thier own (inferior) product. Yes, I know it happens in business all the time but that still doesn't make it right. This guy had one HELL of a good product, the only one of it's kind, and now Planet Waves is talking like they are SO innovative for "comeing up with the idea". OK, rant off now. :) But I encourage all of you to email your support to Victor and encourage him to make them again and buy one from him. Now, on to bigger and better things! I got a vintage Tube Screamer this week!(the 808 model) And it...well, uh, screams! :) But since using it with the Blues Deluxe kinda put out more decibles than a 747 taking off, I got an Epiphone Valve Junior. 5 Class A watts of tube tone heaven! I run it through a 4x12 and cranked all the way, is still good enough for studio work with that awsome break up you get with maxed out bottles! And only 99.99 with free shipping from MF! Socks, I remember you talking earlier on this thread about tone...you have GOT to get one of these! No frills, one input, one chicken-head knob for volume, and 4/8/16 ohm outputs for speakers. Sweet! Rick

Black Betty had a child bam ba lam the damn thing gone wild bam ba lam Yeah, that is an old Leadbelly tune but your probably referring to the remake done by a group called Ram Jam. Can't think of anything else they ever did other than Black Betty. Rick

I thought the same thing. (That is a very big compliment to you, Roy!) :) Rick

Ah, thanks for the education RumRunner and Chas! That was a funny story Rumrunner! And Chas...Lamb, Ouzo, and Baklava, isn't that some kind of holy trinity or somthing? :) Sounds like a great Easter dinner! Rick

Geez, lighten up about the rules! I was just making a joke since wasway was taking so long. Rick

Does that mean I getta do one? :)? :) Rick

I was waiting to see if anyone else knew this one since it's a bit obscure. But your only partially right Wasway. It was Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz, bass player and drumer for the Talking heads that formed Tom Tom Club. (They were also husband and wife). They did it as a side gig while still with TH. David Byrne had nothing to do with it. Rick

OK, right back at ya!(although I have no idea what a Pasqua or Pascha are) Rick

Nice! Is this her first guitar? If so, even nicer! Right now I have an American Texas Special Strat. I think it and the Blues Deluxe were a match made in tone-heaven. :) Next time your at the music store, you gotta give it a listen! Rick

Well Socks, the word awsome gets really overused a lot but uh, nope, can't think of a better word here. :) The Soldano designed Yamaha that I have is all tube too, but they are 2 totally different worlds. The Yamaha has a Marshall tone (hmm...designed by Mike Soldano and it sounds like a Marshall...go figure!). Crank the gain up and you get the same Marshall style edge of chaos distortion (Yes, I blatently plagerized that description from somewhere, just don't remember where). The Fender Blues Deluxe now, it has a sweet, creamy tone to it even with the gain maxed. Yeah, you can get dirt with it, but a different kind of dirt. When you dig in, it gets dirty, but pick softly, and it's a "softer" dirt. Does that make sense? It's touch sensitive, like all tube amps so when you dig in, you get this big blast of sound. And I have NO idea what I'm talking about here, just trying to describe the tone as best I can being a rank amature. :) So anyway, all that being said...it sounds awsome! Rick

You sure he didn't say Philadelphia? I heard somewhere that it was supposed to be a big gay place or whatever you want to call it. And I had heard jokes made about Fire Island MANY years ago. And NO, Wordwolf, I'm not gay just because I know this. Rick
