Very nice playing - wish I could do half as well on either guitar or whistle! I especially liked the banjo rolls on the guitar - when I heard that I figured your guy had to be a banjo player! The instruments panned hard and right is good for a practice tool - you can use the balance control to mute ...

That was hilarious! I guess we can all consider this blessing - it is highly unlikely that there will be a second generation of star wars fanatics...

Good band though.

I've seen compensation be fair, then I've seen it be notoriously unfair. In one case here, the village declared the area a "blight" area. So, instead of true market value, the people were offered about 1/4 of what their homes were worth. The city of Arlington (Texas) voted to build billio...

...and why is it that the biggest, burliest, member of the band, with hands the size of canned hams, seems always to be the one playing the mandolin?

Yep... this is what happens in a corporate democracy -- the money wins. The US is basically becoming just one big Wal-Mart now. Omigosh, Jack and I agree on something. :) Well, mostly anyway. It has nothing to do with "corporate democracy" (whatever that's supposed to be). Money eventuall...

Seriously, congrats on the new "baby" and may it bring you hours of enjoyment.

I don’t think you’re being honest here. Can you prove that you read the story about the Downing Street Memo in your local paper before I posted it here? Unsupported assertion (argument then discusses jGilder's point, not OutOfBreath's point.) Putting words into other people's mouths. Ad hominem (= ...

I'm in love! Are you married? Oh, wait, I am.

And sometimes the reason the information is kept off the bus tour is because it's unsubstantiated "spin" from wackos with no credibility whatsoever. Anybody can publish anything they like on the Internet with little chance of even the most aggregious falsehoods being stopped - and in the ...

Are they trained to be that manipulative... thick-headed... deaf (how many times do we have to repeat something to only have it ignored yet again as if it was never brought up? I see ears but apparently they don't work....) In a word, yes - they are trained to be that way - it's a rare breath of fr...
