merciful-evans Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 welcome back stein. I think I recall you... I'm looking for a guitar with a bigger belly cut; but maybe your idea is more sensible?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried not to take it personally but there is the obvious cause and effect. Have you looked into one of those double neck 1275s for hiding the extra insulation? That and a very long neck tie are the ticket. I remember you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stein Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 I remember nearly everyone here, and who is who is coming back to me. I haven't played hardly at all since. In fact, I picked up and played about 6 months ago and found I had no callouses left. Can you even imagine? I know this sounds strange to a lot of you, but unless I am going to play in a band or with others, I have no desire to play, and right now, there isn't a desire to join a band or start that all up again. But, every now and again....I think what if? I should jam with these folks...or..but it's only just a thought. It's a LOT of work! This may sound vain, but where I used to be somewhat a ham, now I do NOT want to go up on stage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 A half pint of Jack Daniels down the hatch, a tube sock over your junk, some Pro Keds, a very long neck tie and a very large guitar and you're ready get up there and bang out some Chili Peppers. Just remember, those groupies can have a LOT of energy so don't forget the Viagra and Dexatrim for after the show. Heck, if we can do it you can! Back to beating on my "new" D-41. It's really quite the instrument! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Beautiful Rabs. Wish I could afford more Gibsons. My L.P. Stand. G.T. is my only one but it is a keeper. I love the Les Paul style the best. Nice collection there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I too remember you, Stein! It’s good to see old friends find their way back home. Glad you’re here. I hope you hang-around.......As far as big guitars are concerned, the Gibson J100/200 are great instruments to hide behind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not playing in a band or jamming with people, I lose interest in playing guitar real fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the same thing people see in U2, nothing. Edited March 21, 2021 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the Stetson 20x hats have disappeared, replaced by polyester knit watch caps. My disdain for Rascal Flats has been overtaken by FL/GA Line. I don't think any one of George Straits #1s would make the charts today. I remember decades ago seeing an old photo of Pat Boone. His type of mellow pop music which had been popular in the 50s had faded. His response was to get all costumed up like a Hippy-Rocker. Absolutely ludicrous. Now he's doing tv ads for bathtubs designed for seniors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken and Barbie country makes me vomit. Every song is about the guy wanting a girl in booty shorts to hop in the front seat of his pickup truck or she thinks my tractor is sexy. Most of those dill wads probably are not even from a state that has real country life. There is a reason the Outlaws said F-U to Nashville and went to Texas. Nashville dictates what get played and what you record and if you don't want to play along you go to Fuk-off-ity-ville as far as Nashville is concerned, cause there are 1000's lining up the be the next big thing for 5 minuets.

fortyearspickn Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I don't know if it changed due to the PANDEMIC, but Austin a couple of years back boasted they had more live music than any other place in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) A buddy was in a band opening from the Chili Peppers many years ago and he give me a pair of VIP tickets. They had the treble cranked so bad we wound up standing about a football field away, it was terrible.

Sometimes I feel like telling the sound guys the sound is bad is like telling a friend they have bad breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
