Location: UK | Well , have travelled over 3000 miles in guitar quest and await the arrival of the 1537 in Florida , i think that beats most on the obsessive scale .
The trip got off to a dodgy start when i desposed of half of my spending money at the airport , had to buy things like the obligatory Ultimate Guitar Magazine , Guitars Today and Total Guitars , Q Magazine , copy of the Daily Mirror , copy of The Guardian , 4 paper backs , 2 pens and a packet of wine gums.
Now staying with my mum in enclosed gated community and seem to be youngest person here by about 40 years , although scarily the least tanned , least fit and worst dressed.
The state of the US economy has caused me many sleepless nights but looking on the bright side it does mean that 20 Britsh Pounds buy about $ 400
So noticed today that CDs are half price , would love some reccomendations of good music that i might not be familiar with , I like all sorts of stuff but dont like to work too hard so melodic
All sugestions gratefully received
and Jeff arnt you supposed to be taking me out for a drink on Thursday night? |

Woody, you are truly a gem and I hope she realizes your super offer and takes advantage of it (before the Weaser takes advantage of her!) |

What I really meant was "make a low offer" but since foriegn relations (shut up Weaser!) are involved I may just swap for the Wooden Roundback and call it even... Stephen... |

Location: UK | Er thanks for Cd offer and much as i love the idea of listening to Mannheim Christmas 1984, 1998, 2002 etc , etc i dont think i ve got room for them all on my very small boat but they do seem like a bargain to the 'right' person and why on earth are you getting shot of them ;)

| Nobody is shaped less like a dumpling than weaser. If he turns sideways and sticks his tongue out people think he's a zip. |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | You didn't say where in Florida you'll be. To me, there are three regions, the miami side, the tampa side, and up north. If you're going to be in the Naples to Tampa part, I'd recommend, http://www.radiofreecarmela.com/, you can check her dates on the website. Her band has an excellent bass player, and she's really familiar with the west coast scene. She's having a cd release party in December.
Driving around Florida's not like driving around the NYC area. So most things are easy to get to. |

In a seniors community the "But I'm the nanny!" sketch won't fly so good. |
