    Healing with a new guitar

    in The Gibson Lounge

    Posted

    Thank you everyone for your words of kindness, sympathy, empathy, and support. It used to be hour by hour then day by day and now I'm starting to be able to do a lot of normal things. It will never be normal but I realize life is worth living and I still have a lot I want to do. Playing this LP is way up there. Thanks again. Phillip

    Been a long time since I've posted here. My wife passed away last summer and I have been in the depths of depression and hell. Seeing some light.

    I was born in 1960 and have always wanted a 1960 RI. I'm a Jimmy Page wanna be. I put an order in for one last year and it came yesterday to Instrumental Music, Thousand Oaks. Plays and sounds like a dream. I was happy to wake up this morning. Playing through a Yamaha Class D desktop amp.

    New Paranormal Squiers

    I have the Alternate Reality MIM Fender 66 (Jazz bass body trimmed down to make a 6 string and with a humbucker and 2 tele neck pickups). I absolutely love it. I like when Fender Corp makes these affordable different takes by mixing and matching. I know they have a parallel universe collection too.

    Yes, this is exactly why people are getting worried about it....

    In the same way as what happened in the industrial revolution when people lost jobs to machines..  Its going to happen again but this time with more than just manual labour jobs. Now the machines can compete with our creative people too. And the AI is only going to get better as time goes on.

    Or it can improve already existing jobs, especially brain intensive non manual occupations such as proofreading/editorial or interpretation jobs (like a Radiologist). Many in the medical field are taking the sky is falling approach. I personally welcome AI's contribution. It'll point out a potential abnormality and we human's get to say nah, it's nothing or damn, I could have missed that but still have the final say.

    really ? so thats true & not just a stereotype that everyone & their mother has been  aware of ?

    It is true and not just Japanese. Korean and Chinese as well.  My wife is Korean descent and her parents are full on Korean. We had a cat named Lily. Her mother couldn't pronounce the name. My wife said Mom her name is Really and it came back perfect Lily.

     

    Similarly, the French have a peculiarity when it comes to the letter H. My Mom was French. Any English word beginning with an H was pronounced with the H as silent. Howard became Oward. A word beginning with a vowel got an H inserted onto the front. She bough a house after my dad passed and said, "I am now a ome howner."

    I had Cristal once, when our house was rebuilt and we moved in about a year ago. Cost ~$300. It was really good and worth it. That night probably anything would have been worth it but nonetheless. Next Milestone, I'll have it again.

    Arthritis?

    I'm curious. Has anyone tried the Arthritis/Bursitis diet I posted earlier in this thread?

     

    If so, is it working for you?

     

    Notes ♫

    I live a low glycemic inflammation reducing diet and when I want to lose weight I restrict carbohydrates even more. I do it more for general health improvement rather than arthritis/bursitis prevention or treatment per se. Coupled with no drinking for periods of time I can really feel healthy. Difficult to know whether it works or not. I haven't had debilitating arthritis like some here. I do have back problems which have improved since diet changes.

    Condolences Murph.

     

    Great video and great song. I thought Grand Funk and Head East got together and helped you write it (maybe in a dream?) You shouldn't have given up electric. Good 70s rock and roll that. You certainly had some Mojo workin then.

    What's Your Plan?

    Had a tornado warning last night. 50 mph winds, hail, rain and a doppler radar waterspout and the conditions were good for a tornado forming  with a hook echo seen at Pt. Magu 12 miles as the crow flies. We were in the concrete bunker that survived the fire, felt safer there. Haven't been in a tornado warning in ~ 35 years in Texas.

    Plan is to work on my digital musical equipment tonight, hopefully learn something.
