Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I've just sent the link to our bass player. He cancelled a recent custom order and is looking for something different. I told him that I just bought its matching red twin 6-stringer. Next thing you know, we'll be wearing matching continental jackets. Anybody remember those? |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | It was just a cheap suit jacket without any collar, usually in some iridescent color. Ours were light blue that changed to green and yellow. The Beatles took a famous early photo in continental suits. They were standard pop band uniform in the early 60's. I like the spare tire on the back explanation better. That was good, 2ifbyC! |

I was raised by my parents to believe my life should count for something; that whatever I do with my life needs to make the world a better place to live in, needs to have a good effect on those I come in contact with.
What the hell did this guy learn??? |

Agreed though, it looks like a good gigging machine. They should've made the tag smaller and put it on the 7th fret. But since they didn't ask me, they'll just have to live with it. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | My Dad had a similar reaction in the early 70's when he found a Hendrix LP accidently left (by me) on the family record player. Dad called him a "guitar burning negro" and he threw away the actual LP. Ironically, to this day I still have the empty LP jacket. I think of Dad and chuckle every time I see it.
Yes, given enough time we do become our parents.

Location: Scotland | The guys from Slopknit were at the NAMM show signing autographs. The lines to get to them were ridiculous. They're a hugely succesful band, so it's got to a good business move, regardless if anyone here likes them. Personally I think if it raises the profile of the brand to a younger, hipper audience it's got to a positive thing. It'll certainly have a bigger impact on the market than the Josh White and Glen Campbell reissues. |

"What the hell did this guy learn??? "
Hmm lets see.. Do what you love and be passionate about it, no matter what it is.

Make more money than he knows what to do with so he can spend time with his family, send his kids to the best schools and pretty much do whatever the hell he wants to at this point. |
