  1. The Paypal fee only applies to the seller, not the buyer. If the seller is trying to get you to pay any Paypal fees, that is a violation of ebay rules. If it is easier to via Paypal, then do so. If not, cashier's check is the way to go.
  2. This is on reason why I want to "talk" with permissive parents in favor of their teens having fun sex, whom say "They're gonna do it anyway...." Well, some will, in spite of whatever you try to do to stop them. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try, nor does it mean that you should not teach them about contraception so that, at the very least, if they are going to mess around they will not get pregnant.
  3. Someone please stop them from multiplying further.
  4. Sorry dude, didn't mean to cause undue consternation. *I* am still trying to recover from the fact that he's 67. I guess I should really try and figure out who that old guy is who stares at me in the mirror each morning! Batman?
  5. Good win by the Pistons tonight.
  6. So I'm watching PBS and it's showing performances from the JVC Jazz Festival (I'm assuming in NYC). It just had a segment with Paquito D'Rivera and I'm kinda watching, kinda reading the laptop, digging on the Cuban grooves when all of sudden this dude takes off on this ridiculous solo... on harp. Not harmonica, but harp. A quick Google search leads me to http://www.edmarcastaneda.com/live/ Wow. I'm a bit speechless. I'm sure marcello knows him since I see he'll be at the Jazz Standard with Joe Locke in January. I might just have to take a road trip for that.
  7. Merry Christmas from the Pistons!
  8. Sounds incredibly daunting, but obviously its something you have to do, so GO GO GO! Will this be a one-person play or will you have other actors? I hope your husband gets well soon!
  9. We got another $500 in checks. That brings the total raised to about $3400. Enough to pay for the server for almost two years! Very cool!
  10. Dwight Howard is a beast.
  11. Hm. I'm surprised at the results. I thought there were more vinyl lovers on this forum. Oh well. Back to the drawing board. Thanks for your participation.
  12. RIP to a great talent.
  13. I got one today from 2015, warning of my impending DOOM!
  14. No. The whole thing was a waste of money. We never got one single gig or review or festival or anything out of the whole deal. Nothing. Spent well over $300 applying for various things, too. If you want an EPK that you can mail out to people via a link, it isn't hard to create one on your own website. But frankly to me, that's what a band's website is anyway, isn't it? Just a big EPK. Getting gigs is all about building personal relationships. Sonicbids is the anti-thesis to that.
  15. Not really.

  17. Well, he had to take his 15% cut as the talent buyer.
  18. Did he ask you for a gig?
  19. ? So it's worth $299 because Wayne plays on one track?
  20. Depends on what you want. This is a transistor model. It is not going to sound like a Hammond B3 or any other tonewheel Hammond.
  21. Root Doctor's new disc, Change Our Ways, was just nominated for Soul Blues Album of the Year by the Blues Foundation (formerly the WC Handy Awards). http://www.blues.org/bluesmusicawards/nominees.php4 Cool! You can get it via CDBaby, or direct from the Big O Store. It features 6 original tunes, all written or co-written by yours truly (and I even sing on a tune!)

  23. I still have my VPI HW19Jr. Gotta hook that baby up again.
