Ok, I'm no guitar player, but I've got an acoustic that I pick up and strum occasionally. It's not fancy at all (it's a Korean-made Sigma, a subsidiary of Martin), and I ocasionally pick it up and make noise on it, but that's about it. Literally, just make noise, not much else! I'd like to do the same with an inexpensive electric, but haven't been willing to plunk down much money for one. Just today someone on the SH board mentioned there is a sale on some First Act guitars. He prefaced it by saying these are generally cheap, crappy products that are sold at Walmarts etc. I haven't ever seen these or looked at 'em, so wouldn't know the difference. But he did mention that they're selling their "Sheena" and "Lola" entry level guitars, for $49 apiece, on their website (bottom of page here). And he says they're actually pretty good guitars for what they are, listing at around $350 normally. I figure for $50 I probably won't go wrong, unless you guys here know some horror stories about these things. Anybody have any experience with them? The price caught my eye more than anything else.

Happy Birthday!

Glad that worked for you! I wish I'd gotten mine for that price - best I've seen.

I wasn't implying you were being unreasonable. Just the person that actually attempted to make your second (black/white) assertion. I know you didn't actually assert that. You just compared the age thing to the black/white thing, and I rejected your comparison. I guess I didn't explain it clearly enough, for that I apologize. You clearly are insulting me though. Thanks.

I think your comparison is false. Wisdom often does come with age and experience (maybe not in all cases), and I think that is what Steve's comment meant, in THIS particular case. Plus this should be rather obvious, but stamina TENDS to decrease as we age, so if he's playing with the vigor of a 40 year old, that's a good thing. I don't think he's implying that wisdom is exclusive to older age nor is stamina exclusive to youth. And I don't think anyone would consider the comparison to your example as valid, or take any reasonable person seriously who actually attempted to make that second assertion.

The parents called the local NBC channel before they called 911.

Welcome to the world to your daughter, and all the best to you, your wife, and Stella and Zora.

How so? It seems to me to be saying he's got the best of both ages - the vigor of a (slightly) younger man and the wisdom of the older. No negativism implied or stated, IMO.

Happy Birthday!

Which one? The one with McCoy, Bob Cranshaw and Elvin, or with Sonny Clark, Sam Jones & Louis Hayes? MG I meant the one on Matador with McCoy/Elvin/Cranshaw. Gonna have to revisit the other on Complete Quartets, I forgot about that one.

Grant Green's version of MFT is nice as well. Dunno whether it's second best or not.

Oddly enough, this family was on "Wifeswap" last year or something. A rerun of one of the episodes was on last night, which I happened to stumble on, never having heard of the show before. They were sort of wild and weird - the father seemed to be undisciplined, as did the kids. The wife that briefly moved in with them had a challenge trying to get the them to actually help around the house with basic chores and things. Hope the missing kid turns up ok - I think some reports suggest he may not have actually gone up in it. Hope that's the case.

Happy Birthday!

Thanks for that info, Norm. I had previously kind of assumed that the Recording Sessions book was essentially an extract of the Chronicles book, just specifically dealing with the days they were in the studio. But it sounds like it's not quite that, but more detail about those dates/sessions. I like the Chronicles book for what it is though, and it suits me fine.

Happy Birthday!

I thought that would be an incentive for someone to hurry up and buy it, so you didn't have to pay any fees to a website to sell it. But you are very generous to sell it for such a price, as many sellers are on this bulletin board. I don't think Sandy's comment was directed at your post, but rather the one that appears to have been deleted.

I think TJazz's comment should be deleted, personally. Not cool in someone's FS thread, potentially discouraging buyers.

I like that frame job. I've got something similar that I proudly display as well - a Mark Sheldon photograph of John Scofield, signed by both Mark & Sco.

Cleveland won today, with Anderson completing only TWO passes. I bet that doesn't happen often!

Those weren't designed by any one recent. Those are their throwback unis, as all teams are wearing for certain games. They are the original Broncos uniforms from 1960. They weren't popular then either, according to wikipedia.

I have the Complete Beatles Chronicles, by Lewisohn. Is this one substantially different than that?

Broncos get my vote for the ugliest throwback uniforms. Blech!!

Cowboys are playing like crap today against the Chiefs. Fumbles, poor passes, you name it. Romo hasn't thrown a TD pass in almost 3 games at this point. This is a testament to poor coaching. The Cowboys should be much better than 2-2 going into this one, and should be dominating the 0-4 Chiefs, kinda like the Giants are doing with the Raiders. I think win-or-lose, I'd fire Wade Phillips after the game....and Jason Garrett. I don't know that Jerry Jones has the cojones to do that, but this is miserable.

If we don't hear from Skid by tomorrow, will someone go thaw him out and get him home?
