Location: Flushing, MI | Hey! Remember me??? It's been a while. Well, my computer is currently non-functional, so I'm writing this from the local library. Me and the kids moved into a bigger house since Christmas, then my car died, then the computer.... and I'm too broke to do anything about it for a while. But I do have a bigger house, and I've got my home studio all set up, with REAL drums and everything!
I've been gigging acoustically with a great blues harmonicist, so the Ovations are getting a public flogging.
Also, the local GC is going to have another one of those "King of the Blues" contests, and all of my friends and family are MAKING me enter, against my own wishes. They haven't even began the sign up process yet, so it's still quite early. Wish me luck!
That's the lowdown for now. Sorry that I've been away so long. |

Every time we upgrade something it seems like two other things break. :mad:
Congrats on the new pad. Good luck on the contest, you'll have to let us know how you did! |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I thought about entering one of those GC "blues" contests a few years ago, so I practiced non-stop for about a month, had some really nice stuff down (to my ears, at least), then went down on a busy Saturday morning when they were doing the sign-ups. They offered equipment and an open mike for anybody who wanted to show off. After hearing the first three kids wail, I quickly departed the store and completely abandoned any idea I had ever entertained about competing against unknown teenage rock wannabees. There are a lot of incredibly talented players out there. Good luck, Trago. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Are you saying they were good or bad? I've seen a bunch of them flail away on guitars and I used to think they had some talent, but that I just didn't understand what they were doing. Now I'm not so sure that they have any talent. Seems like they just strum power chords really fast up and down the neck. |
