It looks like the Sox are going for it this year.. Its been a prolific offseason (Gonzalez, Crawford,Jenks and Wheeler) and we are not even to Christmas yet. 7th , 8th and 9th innings look good--really really good--(on paper at least)---lets hope everyone stays healthy this year

dang, all those people have names, how am I supposed to know who's who without their real Greasespot names?

Im not a techie at all but I'd opt for something that comes up right away if anyone anywhere were to do a search for The Way International, Wierwille, Martindale etc etc. I dont know exactly how that works but I'd put that above the actual name

Im not now and have never been a moderator, but over the years I have deleted or just plain decided not to post nearly as many posts as I have actually posted. Ive never suspended myself but Ive felt like it a few times

He was one of the classy guys until the end, even in his 80's he looked like he could still take the mound if needed...By my time he was already a legend

This is bad --I want to call up Zepps and get the other one I left behind Im playing hookey from work today and playing these gems, I really have to go to confession or a 12 step program or something.

I was just the other day wondering Where in the World is...pamsandiego I had the song running through my head and had visions of a chinook at the ends of the earth somewhere. that which is lost is found. The first shall be last and the last shall be first At last I see you're first at last. Welcome back even though its only momentary

When this place locks up shop stay in touch dave my email is morningstarsg1@yahoo.com... That place Im goin to..I'm pretty sure might need someone (or two or three) to ride along.. Regarding the Shackleton story on the previous page..I was reading the Episcopal lectionary this morning.. It had something that I never noticed before in Psalm 49:4 I will solve my riddle to the music of the lyre. If that were to be written today it may well say banjo. I know music helps me sort everything out...

Dot-I really dont know who that guy is, I found him on youtube awhile back while looking for banjer things and listen to him quite a bit though--he is good--I spose I should find out :) All good stuff on this page I still get the Urge for Going and still get the urge to Snoopy Dance :P <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgoPl35n_AY?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgoPl35n_AY?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgoPl35n_AY?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

What an extraordinarily beautiful piece of craftsmanship---I do want to hear it, and I just noticed that our days are numbered here at GS--It would do a lot of us "Shackletons" on the other end a world of good dave. As for me the mstar mini 10 day tour of the south has officially concluded after a good long drive up the backbone of Virginia today.. I heard this on the radio today-which seemed right..

A mixed blessing First I want to say thank you for everything that youve done, the effort and time that have you put into this site and the *blessings* that it has brought to me and many other people. ( *I do NOT throw that word around lightly anymore). Over the last ten years its served different things for me at different times...after 10 years its sort of like a comfortable shoe--a place that I spend a lot of time in --because its comfortable. It will be an adjustment for me to see it go but it is probably for the best. These things happen----It is time to move on. Are we gonna have some closing ceremony?

Driving? ..eh..well yea probably-- my walking on water skills arent that good.. and Im a little out of shape to attempt to kayak as far as Ireland. That might take alittle more planning than this winging it trip....but I'll do it--say when... :) sure sure sure-It really would have helped to leave it outside in the car , after you lead me hundreds and hundreds of miles to their very doorstep :P I had afew momentary subtle pangs of guilt (just for a moment) for overspending but Im clear now because its your fault! seriously-- thanks--that place is a real treat and I will enjoy (already am) my new kids Warning: If you do go take the checkbook but leave the deed to the house at home :)

Im sure that you would love it here Dave, Ive been here for about three hours and my head is ready to explode, I could easily go home with 20 banjos --every single one in the store is a true gem--plus Im the only one in there so I get plenty of time and the folks in the store are great and understand the seriousness of banjo addiction that some folks like me have... I just played a Chuck Lee Custom that made my mouth water but is out of my range...Its sort of dangerous here! I dont think I better stop into Nashville on this trip as I just blew any budget that I dont really have anyway I'll be going home with a Wildwood Troubador and a Goldtone Cello banjo-just because it sounds way to cool. Im very happy but its time to head toward home before I spend anymore $$ or start trading my car in or something..

I can't access your link, but I looked up the story and read it. Thank God for Shackletons insight into what music and especially the way too often misunderstood banjo can do for the soul and spirit I think it was nietsche who said that life without music would be a mistake ... Especially in dire circumstances , as was faced by Shackletons crew it is essential. Thanks, ---and if you happen to find another Iink( I ll also look but I'm still driving) I'd appreciate it Cool story If off to dons shortly

will you please record something on that work of art?? and post it?----puleeeze? You got to hear me frailing and flailing after just a few months of "playing" (if you can call it that--I'd love to hear that beautiful thang in action ....speaking of being a kid in a candystore--Im in Wendall NC now--- being Sunday Dons shop is closed but I stopped by to look in the window. It seems like small unassuming place here in what may as well be Mayberry but looking in the window at the banjo collection was like a trip to Mecca, the Vatican, Santas workshop and banjo heaven all rolled into one. Im smiling ear to ear here Do you know Don?

Congratulations! I wish you a good, rich and joyful road to "Happily Ever After"

That is EXACTLY what Im looking for!! Ive been looking and its very hard finding good banjo places in this country--They are always well hidden and off the beaten path (I found an African Country inside the US before I found the banjo haunt Im look for ) I checked the map he is about 4 hours away-so its perfect-- Like a true banjoman he opens his shop bright and early at 11 OClock :P I like him already. Thanks! I owe you one

If I have a chance but by now they are in my rearview. I did happen upon the Soveriegn Nation of Oyatunji It was more impressive than it sounds in the article. I had lunch with the King and spoke with the high priest for an hour or so while an impressive voudon ceremony with about a hundred dancing drumming singing participants was happening in the Yuruban Language--It was the last thing that I expected to run into but I liked it..... If anyone is interested I'll post vids when I get home

Well that leaves that out then Thanks
