Maybe the guy took a class in "creative writing".  But didn't learn how to spell.

Interesting. I'm supposed to be 100% Italian. But my mother's side is Sicilian and my father's side is Napolean. Either way I lost out. I can't speak a freak'n word of Italian.  default/sad

Great tune John, and nice telecaster you have there..


Thanks James for you kind comment.

The tele is great, it has that Fender magic. A rare find and buy for me. I am lucky, my childhood dream came true when I bought it.  default/smile

Some cool sounds going on there John, nice set up you got there, what pick ups are you using on your Telecaster, and what pedals,  default/smile

Hi alun
I have Lace sensor pickups on it. The blue on the neck and 2 reds on the bridge. In my opinon these pickups are some of the best on the market.

Those pedals are  digitech PR50 (maybe) dod distortion, boss digital delay. Sad, but I had to sell them all about a month ago.  I'm down to my guitar and amp and a cord these days.


Nice tele you have too!

I kind of think between drink and pot, I'd rather have pot. Just seen to much damage in life done by alcohol. I once was involved in a car accident and the driver was drunk and just took off. I called the police and gave them the license no. and they already knew who he was. Still had a car, but no license to drive.  Pot, I'm convenced that the drug companies want it banned and they pay off the politicians to keep it that way.

I finally got to listen to it.
Do you sing in a band?
Some very nice and talented vocals you have.
Guitar playing, well I couldn't help picking up my guitar and playing some single notes to the chords. Very nice playing.

Nice picking. Like the tone and it has the feeling of someone gone, too.

I kind of heard a little of "my sweet lord" thing going on there for a few seconds, did sound nice, too.

Hey Rick, welcome to the forum.
Hope you post some of your music and share us some of your knowledge about the guitar and music.

I too live out of the country I grew up in. A bit scary as we get older. Hey, come to think of it, I'm a Grandfather, too!  default/smile

Being a parent, I wouldn't my children to smoke it until the age of 18 or a bit older. We been brainwashed into this reefer madness stuff, so one wonders what is the true danger of its usuage. My guess is, that it is a bit less poisonous to our health than alcohol.

It is not the world economy from the neighborhood store. It is the backyard economy that counts. World news gets more attention than your local shop layoffs.

I feel we are heading into a time where money will mean nothing but to start a fire with. I heard that happen during WW2.

Anyway, our business is down by maybe 70% and that is hard to swallow every month

Nice and soft. Kind of heard the guitar "crying" a bit there.

Can you do one and title it "my life's blues"

Well done John, that's quite an achievement! How are you getting on?


My health is important. I had tumors  growing on my face/jaw/temple. They stopped growing and were non cancerous. I quite at that time. I guess 5 years ago. That was enough to scare me straight. But I did like to smoke.
