Location: NJ | Hey everyone 5 months on the net we now have 300 members and over 11K on the counter. WOW I can't believe it.
Miles and I are always planning for the site and with the help of all the members it will grow.
I am so glad that all of you have checked us out and I want to encourage the HUNDREDS of lurkers we have out there to participate in the message boards.
The latest project is the OFC CD and I hope that many of you will submit a tune or two and we can get this project off the ground.
Thanks to all at participate even those that don't like me.
Miles is in Fla visiting a mouse so everyone be good. |

I love my Ovation Viper, and have always thought of it as a good find when I bought it in the 70's. This is a bonus in that it allowed me to join your board, I have seen so much good and interesting information here, that Im sure you will continue to see the growth that you are seeing as other Ovationer's find it.
By the way, if I got involved with your CD it would be "Old Roundfronts Playing Old Roundbacks"

Al if you think there are people here who don't like you, what if you were Pat Boone and had Little Richard as a member. I would like to see how Little Richard would shout on a bulletin board posting! The flames here are pretty cool compared to that. Keep producing all the good info that makes this board special.

Our only rule is to be polite to one another. I hate when people come on to a message board to flame others or bait others and spew their special brand of ideology.
Maybe it is too much to ask for people to be nice. I realize this is the nameless interet where people feel they can say anything and do anything with no consequences. If people feel that they need to do that I would prefer they participate in another forum. |

Location: SoCal | This is a board that really goes beyond being polite to each other. People here are actually nice to one another (well, we do tease Al a bit). I think part of that is that we do feel, in a small way, that we are starting to know one another.
On that note, has anybody heard from Russ? |

He probly found some pawn shop in Albequerque with 400 O's and took it upon himself to play every one..... with a Corona in between each... |

Location: NJ | His last couple of message alluded to Bill "hookin' him up" with an Adamas (or two), so he's probably "zoned out" somewhere at a reststop in Bumblefuk, Nebraska with an Adamas in his lap and his eyes rolled back in his head.
"..poor bastard's been thatta way fer nearly four days now....damned if'n we can't get his fingers to stop movin'!...." |

Maybe he's in Sheepphok Iowa?

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Hey everyone,
Off to see the mouse today. It's been raining all week with no sign of it letting up according to the locals... oh well.. A rainy day with the mouse, is better than just about any day elsewhere. Only thing.. there are all these little two-legged things running all over the place... who invited them!! You'd think this place was for kids or something. |

Just two words of advice:
"SPEND MONEY" (please!!)
My sixteen year old daughter is a stockholder
(and college is coming up). |

I live in New Mexico (Nuevo Mehico to Russ), so I went on a search mission with the intent of reporting back to the board if I could detect any sign of our missing buddy. Sorry, all I can report is various law enforcement entities with names beginning with FBI, ATF, etc. stationed at various road blocks with drawn guns, mumbling something about atrocious playing of our unique state music played on some commy plastic guitar which is corrupting our virginal groupies, and some mention of tar and feathers. There are drums in the distance, showing that our Indians are restless. I don't hold out much hope, as some Indian fathers of virgins are calling him Russ, the New Custer, whatever that means. I, as you might realize, am keeping a low profile. But if I see Russ I will make sure and tell him that I, and the rest of us must survive if the board is to go on. If he has to burn at the stake, be lynched etc. some of us have to have the courage to carry on without him.
Protecting our freedom;

Russ, head back to Mexico and hide! |

You get 27 virginal groupies if you are killed by blowing up your amp and taking out 10 banjo players. All bluegrass players know this.

Location: SoCal | You know, I've given it some thought and I think I'll pass on the virginal groupies. Virginal means no experience and that translates into a lot of fumbling and training time. Not worth it. However, taking out the banjo players...... |

You realize that perfect pitch is when you toss the banjo in the dumpster and it doesn't hit the sides? |

Location: Las Cruces, NM | Gentlemen,
If you need to know how to accomplish this feat of taking out banjo players, you need to search the archives for an obscure, one page Mel Bay chord book titled "Three Super Power Chords that Will Blow Away your Friends" subtitled "The only three chords you will ever need to know in this life". There was also a note in very fine print to the music shop owner to not include this book as a freebe in large credit purchases. No copy of this book was ever known to be returned for a refund. I used to have a copy and played them on my acoustic all the time, they didn't sound too good so I gave the book to an obnoxious Fender player who kept knocking my Viper. I haven't seen him since, some horrible accident was rumored to have happened at his next session with great stack of Marshalls.
good luck
Bailey

The copy I gave to the obnoxious Fender player was found in the wreckage of the Marshalls by some guy named Ozzy Osbourne. It was found next to the scorched, splintered Fender neck with the left hand still holding it in the position of the third chord. (The only part of the player that could be identified, by the way). Also found were some intact mirror squares from the rotating ball above the dance floor showing the reflection of his face as he played the second chord. He had a sneer on his face just like Elvis! I don't know what became of the poor soul who found the book. Some things are best left a mystery.
