Steely Dan - Aja

I know the critics didn't like it, I prefer Shark Sandwich.

If you mean the banjo, it's a Samick. I'm not sure if it's nice or not. Seems pretty good. Has a pretty eagle on the back side. This is the only old photo I could find. I know it's old because we haven't had those red eared sliders in years.

Your post inspired my to string that evil thing up. It was one of the most frustrating things I've done in awhile. Now I remember why is sat for so long.

Besides the PRS that my wife let me buy as my own Christmas/Birthday/Anniversary gift, my son gave me a Mini Kalimbra. I can already play Ode To Joy and London Bridge Is Falling Down. 😎

I survived another year. Here's wishing everyone a good 2024.

Imagine when his hands get a little bigger and those jazz stretches get easier for him.

Played our last gig of 2023 tonight. New Years Eve Eve. Great night that ended in a two-man Free Bird jam. 😎 See ya next year.

Did you hear about the hungry clock? It went back for seconds.

AI?

Merry Christmas to all....

I loved my 2004 Studio Plus before the headstock was broken. It has a nice 50s neck and the 490R/498T pickups are great. I still want to get around to having the headstock repaired.

Nimrod was an ancient mythological Sumerian King and a great hunter. It wasn't until an old Bugs Bunny episode where Bugs mockingly called the hunter Elmer Fudd "nimrod",, that the word came to be an insult that insinuates someone is dumb or incompetent.

Well it's needed strings for about the past 8 years, so it's evil is dormant. 👹

For years my crap has just been randomly stored in my basement or scattered throughout rooms in my house. I finally cleared some room in my basement, and assembled one of those case racks that just fits all my guitars. I was tired of seeing all these other people's photos of their nice neat music spaces and then looking at my mess. Before After Feel free to show yours

On a similar note, the WD in WD-40 stands for water displacement.

Interesting slant. String break angle. I see what you did there.

I didn't "just get in" but played gig last night. It was first gig using my new PRS. I was plugged straight into PA (through Morley multiFX) so I didn't really get the full experience of playing through a nice tube amp. But it played and sounded great. Think I'll keep it. 😎

Was the term "patent applied for" in common use on other products before Gibson used it on their pups? (just for you Sparky )

No. But I did get her a Rothy's purse for Christmas. 🙂

I was thinking the same thing. 😎

No. I have known several people over the years who work there and have invited me. But I have so far not found the time to do it. I have been in their lobby to drop off and pick up my PRS amp for repair. Nice looking facility from the front.

I'll be 56 in February. I saw a funny (to me) MEME about Gen X. Said we're the generation that was 30 at age 10 and still 30 at age 55.

I didn't think I would be posting a NGD anytime soon, but here I am. My wife and I were coming back from a little day-trip to Rock Hall Md and we stopped in a town called Chestertown. There was a small music shop there and I decided to check it out while my wife went into a little art gallery. The place was about to close in 30 minutes, so I figured I'd just poke around for a few minutes and leave. A young guy working there talked me into plugging in this Squire Mustang they had on sale for $169. It was a decent guitar, but as I was playing it I saw this pretty blue PRS Custom 22 hanging on the wall right in front of me. It had a price tag of $1099. I commented that it must be an SE, but he said no. Made right up the road in Stevensville. Some old dude brought it in to sell on consignment. Just then my wife walked in and saw me playing it. She always liked the bird inlays on PRS and told me I should get it. It would be my Christmas/Birthday/Anniversary gift. When I saw that a nice Gator case was included, I reluctantly said "OK if you insist" . 😎

Heck. Smell The Glove got censored, and that was way back in 1984.
