I love that vid you posted over in that thread I started. I love everything about it. Every 14 year old (and some of the older guys) should watch that and more importantly look at that guitar he's playing. You think that guy gives a shit about what kind of guitar polish to use to clean the finger prints off. Gosh man, so many have it so wrong when it comes to playing.

Dude! I've missed you. Place has gotten so busy I'm not sure if you haven't been around or we just haven't bumped into each other.

I have been OK. How 'bout you and yours? Not just asking - I'd really like to know.

I have been sincerely worried about everyone these last few weeks. Seems like things are just all ****ed up, ya know? Polarizing, bullshit political issues, good people's friends getting killed on the streets of Detroit - bleah! I worried a couple of good people here myself a few days ago by "going off" on someone. They went and disappeared on me, too - though I really think that's more their thing than mine. I didn't feel I owed anyone an apology - except them for upsetting them. But I could be wrong.

I did some recording this weekend with which I'm rather pleased - give a listen and don't flatter me, please. File:TributeToLes.ogg - Wikimedia Commons

How you been River?

Yeah, I saw it after you quoted it. I was just sorry I missed it the first time 'round. 'cause man, I caught some shit over saying the same thing not so long ago.

"He's not cheating anybody, why should he have to worry about what the next guy does with it, asshole!"

Words to that effect. I was tempted to do a "Good-bye" thread over that one.

Your right my friend. We can all stand to do a lot less yapping and a lot more playing around here for sure. Myself included. I waste more time jacking around on this forum, I could be virtuoso by now if I spent that time playing!!!!

I love that last sound bite man. Really nice sound to it. That's my style for sure. I really dig the fact that your into the blues so much. I just got finished downloading a ton of blues backing tracks onto my IPod. I plug that baby into my amp and have myself a ball.

Free Guitar Backing Tracks @ GuitarBackingTrack.com If your interested. There's a lot of great stuff here for you for free. Enjoy and keep up the good work my friend.

Thanks for checkin' in there, LL. I like to think it's about playing, not just running our mouths. I'm working on I M Bored and mrpresca next...

I tried to get something going with the young guys, getting them playing - look for my thread "Messin' with the Kid". It wasn't pretty and it knocked some of 'em down.

What do you got going on River? What was your message about bro???

"I dont think anyone has every said "you suck"..."
Oh, yeah - they sure have. But good on you.
