Running!

I'm going to do the YMCA Twilight Race, 5k through the Holiday Lights on the Lake. Sounds like fun. After that, a relaxing evening at home. Probably with a shower in between.

Happy Birthday, PC! Here's to another year of wit, wisdom, and wicked licks.

Maybe some songs for Dirty Mojos, depending on when they come up with a full time lead guitarist.

Other than that, I'll do my annual "try to put together an original project over the winter and fail miserably" routine.

It was a pretty good list until "give a killer blowjob". What the heck?

Wonder how many Rockpagers have ink from Jinx? The dude is an icon. BTW, can you hook me up with his number? There's a motorcycle with his name on it...

Amen to that. Mitch was a real fireball. He was every bit as passionate as Hendrix.

Altoona could really use a Thai restaurant and an Indian restaurant. There's nothing like a good Indian lunch buffet.

I've been on a seafood-only diet for over a year. :( Is this like "I see food and I eat it" type Seafood diet? hehe..... Would you believe that's the first time someone's made that joke about my diet? Seriously. :shock: There's no moral imperative behind the seafood diet, it's just suppos...

Congratulations to the proud parents and best wishes to the little rocker!

A plate of hot wings! It doesn't sound like much, but I've been on a seafood-only diet for over a year. That's a long time with no hot wings.

We need to get off the middle eastern teet right now, and be off of it for good. Actually, we need to get off the North American teat too. Two of the top three sources of oil for the US are non-OPEC Canada and non-OPEC Mexico. Canada is our number one source of crude oil. Crude Oil and Total Petrol...

Here is Boogaloo Fernandez, named for a bongo player:


These two are sisters: Blanca Fernandez and Twoogaloo Fernandez. Blanca likes to lick the strings of a guitar as they vibrate.

I've never heard of this re-amping thing. Could you explain in more detail? Well, let me run through recording a typical guitar track. The guitar is fed to the computer through a USB interface. In my case, I have a Line 6 KB37 keyboard. It has 1/4" jacks, mic jacks, and a MIDI keyboard. Whatev...

Let him get up there and play Mr. Crowley; he can't fuckin' do it! and it's like, you're getting this guy to write songs for Ozzy? If being able to play Mr. Crowley qualifies you as a great songwriter, there should be a lot more great songs coming out of Guitar Centers nationwide. Or from my home s...

Hmmm...from the research I've been doing, it sounds like a Muff-styled effect is what I'm looking for. Anyone know if the Big Muff is true bypass? mine is They quietly started to include true bypass stock from the factory in recent years. If you buy a new one, it will be true bypass. If you buy use...

Check out Paul at Big Head Guitars. His screen name here is just "paul".

The Iommi model is their top seller? Sweet! Respect for THE MAN.

Here are some random studio thingies that bring a smile to my face: Reaper - Cheap, powerful, and lightweight multi-tracking software. The least resource-hungry DAW I've ever used, by a country mile. EZdrummer - Great sounding drum tracks for dummies. Have you experimented with re-amping? The idea b...

I haven't heard much of this record, but if people are gobbling up loud guitar music, it's a win.

Jimi, everything you submit here slays me! Man, that statement says a LOT!--->JMS Hopefully the bass players of Rockpage are equally amused. :twisted: Know what's really funny? I'm photocopying a receipt today to send in for a rebate, and realize that Johnny put me in the Music Emporium computer sy...

Hmmm, is there any money in this bass player thing? It looks easy enough.

As a newbie motorcycle rider, I dork out for that thing where bikers wave to each other. It feels like you're part of some secret club. Actually, just being able to take a hand off the handlebars without dying feels like a major victory.

Everything is good in moderation.

(What, there's no Aristotle emoticon? Damn.)

It's been a pleasure working with you guys. Everyone made me feel like family right away, and it's a talented and exciting band. You have a good thing going and I wish you nothing but success in the future. Rockpagers, go check out Sunset Strip. You won't be disappointed. Sunsetbass, thanks for the ...
