Okay there Earache!
What's this about me "losing weight"? WHy would you be pointing out to the musical world my seldom recognized deformaties??
By the way, my wife asks "WHY?" you have those globs of Oklahoma Chrome on your pedal rods. I told her it was likely to hold them together since you probably broke them in two 15-20 years ago.
Are you going to paint that geetar with spray cans or with roller and brush? "Blue"...guitar? That'll match your thumb pick, right?
Won't those stainless steel, knife handle, knee levers make that g'tar extremely heavy; or, are you using light weight radiator hose clamps?
And Doug should know that old tired Eric has been quite busy stealing your CD recorded 'hot licks'. Tho't for sure it was Duggie up there on more than one occasion.
Well old Tired Eric...I guess we'll have to come out again this evening and bring along the "score cards". That "reverb" makes one become disoriented....somewhat.

Afew years ago I worked with a fiddle player that hummed with a monotone so loud it would be amplified in his pick-up. Also knew a drummer in Columbus, Ohio who hummed loudly during his solos.
Eric: When I was a young boy my dad played a double neck non-pedal steel. On the way to a gig one night he realized he ripped his crotch out of his pants so he said "well I guess I'll play standing up tonight."

Just wondering; Is this grunting thing the reason this great pianist keyboard player is called "Pig Robbins? A good friend of mine does that , he also moves his tongue around and his mouth

.....I knew some musicians that chewed the sides of their tongue while playing until it would bleed. I never could figure out why they did that.....maybe the guys who "grunt" did it for the same reason? Image www.genejones.com
