Location: Upper Left USA | The real test is if they can say Sequim and if they can tell when the mountains are out!
I used to be that Linguists declared the western sound to be "accent free" but over the last few years there has been a definable straining in the speech of Western Worshintonian's. Kind of a "Bill Clintonesque" scratch proliferated by soccer mom's across the NW. Wether or not it is related to Starbucks Coffee consumption remains to be seen. |

Jeff, the $5 coffee is to finance our secret plot to secede from the Union. shhh.. don't tell, but please keep buying the coffee.
Portland aka PDX aka Rose City aka PuddleTown aka StumpTown aka "Little Beirut"
gh1, do you play publicly at all, or just a hobbyist? |

I laugh out loud everytime I drive by a city truck with that on the side and a couple of , um, weight-challenged city workers on the tailgate, eating jelly doughnuts. |

I have a friend in "Skwim". I had trouble finding it on the map. He was from Boise, via Iowa. License plate, "Hawkeye." |

It's not uncommon to see idiots golfing in the rain around here. Better bring your clubs... Not a good weekend for me to plan anything, Mark. Sorry, yet again.
I thought Hawkeye came from Crabtree Cove, Maine? |

"The City that Works (see footnote)"
footnote: Unless you are referring to schools, city management, police integrity, water bills, etc, etc etc.

gh1, do you play publicly at all, or just a hobbyist? [/QB] I let my wife listen every once in a while. :) Just a hobbyist, purely for self development and entertainment.
I've had a spotty past with the guitar. I've owned one since '67. Every couple of years i'd get on a 6 month kick -- get frustrated with lack of development -- quit. Repeat.
Three years ago i say's to self, "self you're getting kind of old. Do you want to be able to play that thing before you die?" To which i answered, "yes".
So i interveiwed with a number of teachers, picked one and have stuck with him. Great thing about teachers; 1)they teach (DOH!) 2)they engender accountability.
So i have been playing about, oh, 6 to 15 hours a week (depending on my schedule) for the last three years or so.
