Al first mentioned these in a newsletter a few months ago and I went ahead and fell for the sales pitch and bought one.




What a GREAT PRODUCT that I use every evening in my studio. No longer any fear of knocking over my drink and ruining something.


I got the gift pack from Al.




Not sure if Al has anymore in stock but I highly recommend this product to everyone on the OFC!

That's for drinks? I thought it was a spit cup.

For metal players, it's where you drain the bat's blood after biting the head off.

For gospel players, it's a pick-baptistry.

For goth players, it holds black fingernail polish

For OFCers, it holds Efferdent.

I've seen those around, and while I think they're a really cool idea, I personally'd have to "pass" on it . . .

Being that my mic stand is ALSO the guitar-stand holding BOTH of my gig guitars . . . the thought of adding a beverage holder to it seems to be the PERFECT catalyst for something to go quite horribly "wrong" . . .

. . . if it gets to the point where I can't "walk" to my drink . . . then it's time to drive home . . . .

Great idea... bet it slings a fresh margarita about 10 feet if(and when) it does get knocked over.

:D

God Bless,

With a long straw you can sing and sip at the same time, ala Peter Frampton... I hate wasted movements!

I can't picture how to do that in my mind, no matter how much I think about it. I really want to know, and I want you to show me the way.

Yes folks, that's a late application for contrived pun of the month...

That's okay, Boney. Late though it may be, it's good to know that you feel like we do.

Jeff what did Frampton ever do to you. He may not be an Eric Clapton or B.B. King, but I don't think he's a vacuum cleaner. Frampton has a technique all of his own and I think his use of the talk box is awesome.

I always thought Penny For Your Thoughts was a great acoustic instrumental. Sorry, Big Stubby, I gotta go with Pauly on this one. Classic guitarist? Not by a longshot but smooth as they silk and original.

Hey guys, notice the italics and the previous two posts....

Frampton sucks=Pun

Frampton has no idea how to work outside simple pentatonic scales=That would be a judgement. ;)
