Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | I just picked up my Legend 12 from the repair shop last night. I had been having some problems that I won't go into again. I decided to just have a good professional set up done on it and see what happens. The problem seems to have disappeared and the action is sweeter than ever!
I really need to play it for an extended period of time to be sure (which I WILL be doing tonight), but it seems to be in great shape right now. I really missed this guitar on gigs. Some songs just don't sound right on the 6 string anymore. |

Careful Cliff. I'm coming to your gig tomorrow night. I may have to start the "Sweet Home Alabama" chant again. I know how much you LOVE playing that one.

No, even I wouldn't go THAT far, even to give a Cliff a hard time. Well maybe. :p |

Location: NJ | Rick and I have often thought that the next time some asswipe yells out "FreeBird" . . . we'll just PLAY the f&^#*@&g song! . . . . for like an HOUR and a HALF!!! THAT'll teach 'em!
Of course, it'd be more work for Rick, as all I'd have to do is play the same three chords over and over for an hour & a half . . . Hell! that's all that I do all night ANYway!!! :D |

If it's a quiet "dinner crowd" at the beginning, I'll try to sneak it in (past Rick).
"Delta" is a bit of a dirge, and (unfortunately) gets a little "lost" on the usual "bar" crowd.
We DO occasionally play "Stairway" tho, when somebody's really adamant . . . only we play the chords to "Stairway" and sing the lyrics to "Gilligan's Island". Really ticks 'em off!
It's all part of the world-class "TwoManGroup Customer Service Initiative" :p |

Don't worry about Rick. I'll buy him a bottle of cheap piss water light beer and a pack of smokes. That'll keep him busy.
:D
It's funny how some songs that you think will NEVER go over in a bar, end up going over great. I remember the first time that I played "taxi" at a gig. I just threw it in because it was a mellow crowd and I figured that no one would notice. It turned out to be the best song of the night. In fact a couple of people came up to me to compliment me. You know how it is. Some big, drunk dude comes stumbling toward your very expensive guitars and PA system to say "oh man, that was great, dude". Of course they ALWAYS get close enough so that you can enjoy their stale booze and cigarette breath. |
