    Actually the Egyptian pyramids were built by a skilled working class and they were compensated. 

    The race bating I hear is coming from other circles trying to tie the accident to DEI .    

    That is one of many theories. Nobody knows for sure who built them, or if, or how, they were compensated. Heck, they still are not sure WHY they were even built. Only theories.

  2. I think you'll like it. I've had mine for 4-5 years and have really liked it. It has a small screen, but I can see if just fine. And I'm 62 and wear glasses.

    My first Tascam was the old 4 track, analog, cassette machine. I even had fun with that when I first got one 15 years ago. 

    It will be everything you need to make some fine recordings. When you have the final product, you can make it into a WAVE file and it is easy to put that onto a CD if you so wish. It will also be ready to upload to SoundCloud or other music host sites.  I made my first CD of songs a few years ago and was impressed with the ease of doing it. 

    Congratulations! Hope it brings you hours of enjoyment.

    I read somewhere some time ago that JP did Session work with “Them” on “Baby Please Don’t Go” & “Mystic Eyes”… 2 great Records from the 60’s! Doesn’t appear on that Link of his Session work? Anybody know? 

    I have read the same thing. I’ve seen a long list of his sessions and I remember those 2 were on the list.

    hello there  American  brothers , i d love to buy this  little tele  by Squier  because  i d love to have a tele with Humbuckers on it ,  i know  it is an entry level guitar  do you have any tips on upgraded  to be done to make  a near pro  Guitar .ps.  I already have   a di marzio  dual sound DP101BB+BK to put on the bridge   then what  i  can do  for the rest  of it ?

    I have a Vintage Modified  Squier Telecaster that I really love. I had to change the neck because the truss rod had bottomed out and couldn’t be adjusted any more.  I found one that fit perfectly and is probably better than the original.  It has 3 pickups.  Mini Humbucker in neck position, and single coils in middle and bridge.  It has reversed controls on front.  
    The pickups sound really good. Other than the neck, and a new nut,  I’ve done nothing else to it. 
    I own 14 electric guitars.  Many cost 3-4 times more than the tele. But that is one of my favorite guitars to play.  
    I also own a MM Fender Telecaster.  
    I like the squier better.  And play it much more.  
    So see how it sounds.  You may like it just the way it is.  But whatever you do,  a Squier can be a great guitar, if you happen to find the right one.  I know. 
    Good luck in your endeavor. 😃

    Fate has introduced me to Taylor Goldsmith. I have their Nothing Is Wrong album which I have enjoyed immensely so if you are a Neil Young fan I'm sure you will too. But if you already know them perhaps you can guild me to their back calalodge.   Thanks guys.

    Never heard of them. 
    But what is a calalodge??

    Can't take Dickinson seriously after he grew his hair long when he got the young(ish) girlfriend, after thirty years of short hair, or something... 

    I think I may dislike too many people for my own good, but it'd help if most people weren't so crap. 

    What does hair length have to do with singing ability??

    Ok, who are in your top 10? I’m just trying to get an idea of the kinds of music non Beatle fans like. Just curious..

    That's hard for me to do.

    If you asked me when I was 16(1978) it would have been: Kiss, Ted Nugent, Rush, Black Sabbath, Led Zep, Outlaws, ZZ TOP, Judas Priest, Ramones, Cars, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Plasmatics, AC/DC, Alice Cooper, Doobie Brothers, 

    In my 30's and 40's I began liking more of these bands: Megadeth, Suicidal Tendencies, Grateful Dead, CCR,  Meat Puppets, Little Feat, Peter Tosh, Early REM (first 4 albums), Blondie

    I love discovering older bands that I have not yet heard much. I do this all the time.  I have been catching up on old bluesman like BB and Freddie and Albert King, Elmore James, Robert Johnson, Son House, etc. I like a lot of that stuff.

    I'm also very fond of Hank Williams Jr. and a lot of other country and bluegrass music groups. I like Chris Stapleton and  Nickel Creek.

    I  like James Brown, Ohio Players,  and others of that genre.

    I'm also very indecisive, by nature. It depends on where I'm at in life. It depends on my mood that week, that day, that minute.

    But most of what I like has a common thread. Because I play the drums and the guitar. I like to hear a lot of that in the music. I also like distinctive and original sounding singers. And I don't like a lot of female singers. Don't know why. 

    I still listen to all the bands above. And I still enjoy discovering new bands, and old bands I've never heard before. [biggrin]

    They say timing is everything,  I believe that is true,  for many, the Fab Four were the first reason to smile and be happy in a long time, the rest is history as the saying goes. 

    I agree 

    I was born in 1962. My Parents did not listen to the Beatles.  And by the time I started getting into music, the Beatles were being played on “oldies” stations. 
     

    The Beatles never did much for me. I like a few of their songs. But they never were a favorite of mine. To this day I don’t own a single album.  I’ve heard just about everything they have done. I just never really liked it. 
     

    And yes I know I may be the only human on earth that feels this way.  But I wanted to just give my take. 
     

    Let the stoning begin. 🙂
