Location: Campbell River, British Columbia | I've been playing the fool to appreciative crowds for years......... at least I think that's how they show appreciation.
Apparently I'd be quite useful around here though, I used to be a plumber. Will now consult and supervise for beer. But you'll have to hold that leek for a year or two before you see me waaaaay over on the right coast for a get together. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Plumbing is one of those trades that I figured anyone can do. After laying under the cabin in a space too small for anything other than a porcupine in a mixture of rocks, sewage and porcupine quills, I decided that I don't want to be a plumber. |

Location: Snellville, GA | Three basic rules of plumbing:
1. Sh#t flows downhill
2. The boss is an S.O.B.
3. Payday's on Friday. |

Location: Campbell River, British Columbia | Anyone CAN do it..... :rolleyes:
Solids run down, gases flow up, payday's on Friday, don't lick your fingers.(What'choo talkin' 'bout TWA, my boss was great.....types fast too!)
There. Now you're a plumber too!
.......................................
Then there's this long list of rules and stuff they keep in a book called "The Building Code." But nevermind, I'm sure it'll work. |

Location: Spokane, WA | I have an uncanny talent for believing I can do something around the house, and then spending twice the money, doing only half as good a job, in three times the time as if I'd called a pro.
Musically, I do a fair job doing improvised blues leads, and I'm trying to be a somewhat accomplished fingerstyle acoustic player |

Location: Chehalis, Washington | I play mostly lead rhythm 6-string, with some experience with writing/arranging. I've played a little with lead fills/electric, but nothing to brag about. I learned playing folk/fingerstyle, but REALLY need to freshen up on that a bit. As far as singing...let's just say I haven't been booed off the stage yet, but I've gotten close. :eek:
Someone should send me an FD-14 out of the goodness of their heart. :D
Non-musically, I tinker with a lot of projects that I'm not really good at. Davek, I COMPLETELY
understand - I redid my mother-in-law's basement, and what I thought would be a weekend project took three months...
I have a knack for overcommitting myself for way too many things, am really good with computers, take horrible pictures on a digital camera that I end up deleting, and spend too much time and money playing paintball, which is one of the few things I'm actually good at. Miss anything? |

Location: Boise, Idaho | So it looks like if we put all of us together we'd get:
A bunch of half assed guitar players;
A bunch of half assed carpenters;
A bunch of less than half assed plumbers;
A bunch of half assed DIYers;
And some computer geeks.
Surely we have a whole ass in this bunch, or did I just volunteer? |
