Been there done that. Im fused at 3,4,5,6. Had three of these damn surgeries. What they dont tell you is once you get one area fused, the ones above and below that area are under more pressure. And they can go bad. Thats what happened to me. Now Im having major lower back issues. Looking at a L4,5,6,S1 rods put in. Been doing shots to get by. Sucks getting old !!! Hang in there !!

You always new it was MacDaddy shooting at you !!! All you saw was his head from behind a wall. KillRoy was here was here !!! Use to call him that all the time.

Mourning Windows !! What a groove on this tune. Gets your foot tapping right off the bat !! On of Nuno Bettencourts side projects. Crank this up really loud !!!! I mean real loud !!!!

Would Be cool !!! We are old enough to remember the original Doom, Wahoo. Can we say "dial up" everyone ?

The Coop !!!! If you ever get a chance to see Alice make sure you do. Great show !!! Great musicians !!!

Fender is bringing back the STRAT !!! Made at the famous Fujigen factory in Japan. They have made many hi end guitars for other manufacturers plus their own FNG line. Crazy quality !! May have to preorder a yellow one. They are also re doing the Fender Lead II and Lead III, the original Leads came out in 79-82 if I remember right. The original Leads where made in USA. The new models in Mexico. I own 5 of the original US models. The pickups on the vintage US models where Seth Lover pickups. He designed the original Gibson PAF Humbuckers (1st ever humbuckers). PAF stands for patent applied for. The Fender Leads pickups are extremely hot and many modern actives do not come close to the output of these vintage.

Running stuff in admin mode also fixes a lot of issues. Glad you got it going

Squirrels are my favorite. Then little bunnies. Was hoping to work on the tune and others this weekend. But my sons van took a dump and we spent the weekend chasing gremlins. Shit happens.

At the time I did this I was going to do a video with my kids. I was going to put on an evil face or mask and mow over stuffed animals filled with fake blood bags. But never did. So those lyrics would work. Execpt the curb part. Im in the country. Deer, coyote's, ground hogs. No was never a landscaper. Takes me about 1 1/2 hours to mow (rider) and during that time, it gives on time to reflect on life memories both good and bad. Bad therapy ? Maybe. Good therapy ? Maybe. So I kept it from getting too morbid. Just reflections.

Pete !!!! Long time no see !!! Oohhh Hofner yummy brother !!!! Are those signed concert tickets ??!!! I frequent Heritage Auctions and they had some Beatles auctions awhile back. I bid on a few items, but wasnt home to keep track on auction day.

Extreme. Another great band. Guitarist Nuno is a beast of a player. On my list of bands to see.

Dayton only 30 minutes away !!! You must be between Cincy and Dayton. I can make it to Traders World in 50 minutes

Ok Street, here is an original I started 11 years ago !! And still have not finished !!! Need to add some background tracks and adjust some levels. Im glad I came across this, Im going to head out this Saturday and try and finish it up. As I sit here on my mower Im all alone with my thoughts Never know which one to hold to So many it drives me nuts I shake my head to clear them all out But I know I just cant win I try to focus on my mowing But those thoughts have crawled back in Solitude of mowing the yard Just me and the grass Its like looking in to my soul Thank God, just one more pass I shake my head to clear them all out But I know I just cant win I try to focus on my mowing But those thoughts have crawled back in As I sit here on my mower Im all alone with my thoughts Never know which one to hold to So many it drives me nuts

What can we say Brad Gillis and Jeff Watson !! Dueling guitarist !! Most know them from "Sister Christian", but they were more than just that. Great tune. Dont Tell Me You Love Me" and my personal favorite "Sing Me Away" follow the lyrics to this one guys. Most can relate to them !!!

Another great Canadian Band !!! On of my favorites. They have a fantastic catalog of great songs !!! I like to Rock !!! and Get Ready For Love. Really crank these up !!!

Starz !!! Great band from the 70's. Most probably never heard of them. Not your typical radio friendly band or should I say "Top 40 bubble gum shit". Dig deep people !! Give us great tunes that never got played on the radio !! Anyway, great lyrics on this one !!!

See what your missing Ricko, in the good ole U.S. of A. !!!!

I kill you !!! Good to see you will be around cod2 Pman !!! Hopefully my ass can play some soon.

Video a friend of mine did many years ago.

I posted a video a while back of my cousin Chris playing drums. Fantastic drummer. Started at age three. But he also sings and plays guitar. Here are three videos of him. First is at our house, just after I finished my man cave (fresh paint). First audio recording I ever made (sucks). He is the one singing and playing guitar. I believe he was 15 at this time. Now he is all grown up and travels the midwest playing local gigs and doing stand ins with other bands. The Gibson in the Stranglehold video has been in his family over 60 years. His Grandpa (my uncle) bought it new. My uncle and his wife and Chris's father Jeff had a country band that played in Columbus and Indian Lake for many years. Any hoot enjoy. The drumming video is especially crazy.

Or better yet. Put them on a USB drive and get in your car and drive up !!! Your only 30 minutes away !!!!

I have Reaper, Studio One, and Waveform (use to be called Tracktion). Any DAW will open rendered wave files and or mp3's, aac, etc. I want clean files, no amp sims what so ever. Trust me on this. I can either re-amp through one of many amps or use Guitar Rig, Waves Amp, Amplitude, Overloud. But if you want to keep that exact tone then render with it on. I have the same Drum plugin you use, plus Slate SSD which is fantastic. If your ass can sing great !!! Saves me from trying. But do send me lyrics.

I was at the Black and Blue show !!!!! Well sort of there. Too many brews and doobies !! Or was it microdots that show ? Or Micheludes (qualude dropped in a Michelob) ? That was a great tour. Some venues BOC opened and others Sabbath opened

Saw them many many times. First being Sept. of 1976. Hara Arena in Dayton. And took all my kids to see them in Cincy during the Snakes and Arrows tour ( June of 2008 I believe). RIP Professor
