MissouriPicker, The correct answer to that question is " How many pairs of shoes do you need?" That is usually enough to make them understand. RBSinTo

Doesn't interest me in the slightest. This sort of collaboration is like contamination in petrie dishes during a microbiology experiment. I'll pass. RBSinTo

Duane, My condolences on the death of your humidifier. May its memory be a blessing to you and all your guitars. RBSinTo

Zombywoof, When I read the thread title, I assumed you had gone on a hunger strike because Mrs. Zombywoof wouldn't let you buy another guitar, a tactic I'm sure that has been tried before by other Gibsonians. RBSinTo

My first impression is "extremely pretentious while still being incredibly trite". I'll take a pass on further listening. RBSinTo

gibsonless paul, Mine did, but it outgrew them. RBSinTo

Whitefang, True dat. RBSinTo

Murph, Nothing compelled you to read his posts if they offended you. And since he was banned, there is still a lot of embarrassing stupidity being posted here, so perhaps that isn't all his fault after all. RBSinTo

MissouriPicker, I would never agree to such a policy, because if I did, my wife would insist on having me castrated. RBSinTo

A highly-placed source close to the Chief has indicated to me that yes, he has been permanently banned. When asked about reports that requests had been made for a Presidential Pardon, the White House replied " No comment". RBSinTo

Whitefang, I also go to TCM, just to see what they're showing, and often watch films I previously knew nothing about. But to be fair, many if these films dating from the thirties and forties aren't very good. And this includes many movies with actors we've always considered to be first-rate. My wife often asks why I bother to watch them, because the acting is poor, the women usually stereotyped, and the plots thin or virtualy non-existent. And in many cases, I have no good answer, other than curiosity. RBSinTo

I'm retired, but got bored, so I'm currently interviewing to become Head of Sales for a Shower Curtain Ring company. Very excited. RBSinTo

fyp., And really old when you don't have to stop and think to get this one. RBSinTo

Our son and daughter-in-law just got a kitten to add to their zoo ( five kitties, two dogs......and two children). The new kitty is a domestic longhair/ ragdoll mix and is very cute. We video-chat almost every night just to see the antics of the various zoo members as they interact. Much better than most of the commercially available stuff. RBSinTo

I guess Harriet just wasn't interested in it, so he stopped. RBSinTo

Both Cosmo and Twelfth Fret, here in Toronto have one in stock, and even though we could afford the cost, I don't need on, so I wouldn't consider buying one. But they sound wonderful. Similar to a D-28, but not as full, or as loud, which is to be expected. RBSinTo

Eva Cassidy-Over the rainbow. An outstanding cover by another wonderfully talent musician who died far too young. RBSinTo

Last night I watched a documentary about Linda Ronstadt, and her life in music. My goodness, that lady was a huge talent! She had a voice like an angel, and the vision and determination to sing the genres of music that she wanted and needed to sing. It was a very enlightening and enjoyable program. RBSinTo

Part of the Gibson j-45 P.T. Barnum Commemorative series. Gibson produces many very nicely finished j-45's, so why would anyone buy one as ugly as this? RBSinTo

olie figured out my nefarious plan. Ingratiate myself with the Chief, stuff him with poisoned dumplings, and then steal his guitars. Drats! Foiled again! RBSinTo

This must be the new, kinder, gentler, Chief. Tough on the outside, but all ooey-gooey on the inside. Perhaps a plate of really good Dumplings will assuage those tears. Whatcha say? RBSinTo

I'm waiting for Gibson to come out with their Custom shop Gopherwood J-45 "Noah's Ark" commemorative model with the pairs of animals engraved on the pickguard. RBSinTo

Chief, That was me. You know I'm a Martin guy, but I don't like blingy guitars, which is what I consider the D-41, and even more so the D-45 to be. Perhaps "gaudy" was a bit harsh, and I should have reserved it for the really tasteless Gibson j-200 series. RBSinTo

My guitar teacher decided that we would continue our adventures through Eric Clapton's "Unplugged" album, and so we are currently working on his "Nobody knows you when you're down and out". Outstanding rendition. I've listened and played along to it a zillion times in the last few days, and yesterday just for amusement's sake, I visited a music store and noodled it on a Martin 000-28EC, which is the instrument Clapton played it on. A wonderful song on an outstanding guitar by a really $hitty musician. I guess two out of three ain't bad. RBSinTo

Chief, I'll trade you. You bring the sticker, and I'll give you some Chinese pot-stickers, which you can eat or stick on your guitar cases. Deal? RBSinTo
