Yer John Lets get posting......

Its been quite of late but perseverance and it will pick up cause were a nice small bunch....



Yeah I agree.  Right now I'm taking a songwriting class online from Berkley University, California.  Class is going pretty good. As a teacher, it is always hard to teach an art of any kind. You kind of have to teach the rules and then explain there are no rules other than...  The teacher is well known and he'll be in Europe this month and next.  I've got a whole bunch of songs now I got to take another look at. I see "big improvement" writing on the wall! For me, LOL!

I wonder who owns the company that does this kind of sh..  I doubt it is a British owner of the company.  This is why I hate to buy Chinese products (food) imported from China.

I've had this Marshall lead 20 amp since the 80's. Doesn't work all that well, but it delivers the tone that I want. I put a British vintage Celestion 30  12 inch in it and it really has it own unique tone.

I often wonder about that question. When I was a kid, it was Sivertone, Fender, Gibson, Martin, Guild, Kay and Epiphone. At least that is what I recall. So now I hitting into retirement age and these guitar to me are still  "brand name" or even maybe "American icon" guitars.

If you are of a  younger generation, what guitars now that you feel are brand names guitars these days. No matter how hard I try to believe "Ibanez" is a name brand, it just doesn't click with me.

James, at one time in my life I only had 3.57 cents to my name. And no job. You'll pull through. And besides we know you'll come back to let us hear some more of your tunes.

Right now our business is very slow and we can't make it on our income that is coming in. I, too might have to/ must look for part time employment, but luckily we saved for many rainy days for our retirement. Work here is impossible to find. But you are young so don't give up, dude.

stop in at an internet cafe sometimes and say high to us all here
